The service was designed to reach out to people that were disgruntled with church, had been hurt in church, or just simply wanted to have a low impact come as you are place to attend. It's hard,humanly, to understand why it had to go.
To be in the service yesterday and hear testimonies of the lives that were changed by this ministry was deeply touching. Many of these people were wounded at some point in the lives and were renewed by the overwhelming acceptance for all people who came to "The Bridge." Some one said yesterday that over 50 people had joined the church through this ministry in just under three years. Missionary types like us have a hard time seeing program cuts to mission based programs. We generally base success on one life led to Christ at a time.
Thanks to Bob and Rachel Bochat for all their hard work and weekly dedication. It took a lot of hours and sacrifice to pull this service off each week and with out a doubt you were called to this place just for that specific purpose. Also thanks to all of you who volunteered every week with the Lord's purpose in mind. We love you guys very much!
