I just returned from South Tampa Fellowship Davis Islands first service since the grand opening of the Ballast point campus. It was amazing! There were so many folks that without the overflow simulcast chairs were on stage and out into the atrium! More than 400 people with smiling faces were greeting each other in what was a very joyful reunion.
The preschool building was hopping as well and it was such a blessing to see the once lifeless courtyard filled again with children of all ages. I would estimate that there were over 60 children from babies to fifth grade being show and taught the love of Jesus again in what was once a run down little apartment building on the island.
So many of us watch over the years as the Davis Islands Baptist Church grew well beyond the capacity for one Sunday service! God taught us how to go to two services and then three. God refined us into a church whose building was smaller than our congregation and yet we had very little problem adapting and prospering with His perfect provision. We are ready to have our fellowship at both ends of the Bayshore and to see it bring Glory to God.
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.Proverbs 16:8-9
Thank you Lord for you faithfulness!
