Holy Crap…. It’s actually happening

We always knew it would happen… or rather we’d like to say that we always knew that. But it’s happening. We have a house, we have many interested students. We need a little more cash and a little more furniture, (If you can help in either way please let us know) but it’s moving forward. God is moving. Amazing things are happening.

For those of you who don’t know. I am referring to the beginning of the Bratcher Artist House ministry that Luz and I have been dreaming of for the last year. This weekend we made a commitment to rent a house in Capitol Hill on the Eastern ridge by the Arboretum. The house is near perfect for what we want to do. It’s within (reasonable) walking distance from Kerry Hall, it’s got plenty of room for the two of us plus four other artists. There’s a view, room for fun (but not wild) parties, dinners, movie nights, art shows and small drumless house shows. These are all small parts of the amazing work that God is doing right now, and we look forward to sharing Gospel of the love of Christ through the house that God has granted to us. Words cannot describe how we feel right now. We are elated.

I will post more information as it comes up, but to get a more up-to-date account of what is going on, please visit our blog at bratcherartisthouse.tumblr.com.

Praise Jesus for his Love and Providence.
