...miracles do happen when we trust in God and have faith...
"I want to share with you what 'miracle' God has done in our lives lately. It had been a dream of mine to be a stay at home mom for several years but due to financial reasons I was not able to leave the workplace. We have been attending C3 for about 3-1/2 years and had been through the Blessed life series. Since that time we have been tithing and trying to put into practice what we have learned concerning finances, and remembering that nothing is impossible with God. Finally over these last few months we have come to a point where I am now able to leave my full time job and dedicate myself to my husband and children. We are sure that God is faithful and will provide what we need. He is already increasing my husband's side business! Miracles do happen when we trust in God and have faith!"

...his speech on Sunday night helped me understand what it meant to have Jesus in my life...
"I go to Cleveland Community Church and was at the see you at the pole rally. I just wanted to thank you. I could understand and connect to what the speaker said. His speech on Sunday night helped me understand what it meant to have Jesus in my life and how great I would feel. At night I used to be scared to go to sleep, because I knew if I died that night I wouldn't go to heaven. Sunday night I asked Jesus into my life. Now I'm begging to build a relationship with Jesus. Thanks again!"

...we handed in our pledge card, excited to see how God would come through...
"When 'The Dream' campaign started, our family was house hunting. We hoped to stay in the Cleveland area, but held off on pledging to the campaign since we were also looking at houses in Raleigh, Cary, and Apex. Besides that, we didn't know how much our new house payment would be, so we were hesitant to make any long-term financial commitments. One particular Sunday, my husband and I were both impressed to take a leap of faith and pledge anyway, trusting God that He would provide a house close to C3 and then provide the finances to meet our pledge. We handed in our pledge card with confidence, excited to see how God would come through! Less than one month later, we found a great house at a real bargain (twice the square footage for nearly the same mortgage payment), and with the proceeds from the sale of our first home, we paid off our car loan. That monthly car payment was almost exactly the amount of our monthly pledge to 'The Dream' campaign. It was a real faith-builder to see how it all worked out! Not only did God guide us to the perfect house for our family, He freed up the space in our monthly budget to follow through on our 'Dream' pledge."

...we are going to be blown away...
"I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do for C3 in the coming months and years. I have this wonderful feeling that we are going to be blown away by the commitment our church will make to 'The Dream' and to providing opportunities for more to come to hear about God's wonderful love."

...when we follow Him, He really will provide...
"God has told us what to pledge. We have absolutely no idea how He will provide, but we have seen through our journey that when we follow Him, He really will provide. We just get to enjoy the ride and testify to His incredible abundance! Pastor, we pray for the people of C3, that they will trust God when he calls, knowing that He has everything in control. I pray for miracles over the next three years that will amaze people, so that they too can experience the great joy we have had over the past year on our journey. God has blessed us tremendously. How much more will He do when we, His church, work together to reach out to save thousands? May God continue to bless you!"
