Today I read this scripture in 2 Samuel that really struck me:
And David realized that the LORD had made him king over Israel and had made his kingdom great for the sake of his people Israel. - 2Samuel 5:12

It made me think about Healing Place and how God has blessed this church. It is so clear that the blessing He has on us, isn’t for us, but simply for the sake of His people. Everything we do- reaching, serving, giving, building- is for the sake of the people.

Recently the Lord has blessed us with an even greater opportunity to extend our reach for the Kingdom. Winbourne Baptist Church  was looking for a ministry that could continue to serve the people in downtown Baton Rouge and chose Healing Place Church. For several months we have been sharing the building with the Baptist congregation and on May 30th they will have their final service and have given the building over completely. As they pass the torch on, we want to honor them and thank Winbourne Baptist for entrusting us with this responsibility. I think about how for over 60 years, God has been holding this building for us for this very moment for the sake of the people!

I wanted to share this video link from service last weekend at the Baton Rouge Dream Center campus where the church participated in a celebration dance at the end of service. It so represents the heartbeat of who we are- fun, freedom, and all about the people.
