THE WINAMAC HAPPENING

What a celebration we will have tomorrow night. The first Sunday in April 1987 we had our first service of Church of the Heartland. Then it was Grace Community Church and we didn’t even conceive of the idea of campuses. That has grown to 7 churches, Christian schools, daycare, coffee shops, biker churches, home extensions, and an awesome Bible College that has produced hundreds of leaders and believers. Believe me, this has been a work of God not a work of man.

22 years ago this was all a seed planted by God in my heart. The greatest of this is its ability to remain as fruit past its founders. This Good Friday and I mean good Friday, I will celebrate the beginning of another generation and the seed planted in their hearts. We the elders of GIM (Church of the Heartland) will present before God the leader for the next step. We will be celebrating the Easter Good Friday with awesome worship and commissioning Heath Hiatt for the second leg of the journey for Northern Central Indiana.

Thank you Winamac for the great start. Thank you Heartlanders for the awesome spirit you have to advance the Kingdom. Thank you elders for keeping your eyes on Jesus and not man. Thank you Heath for carrying on the dream.

Thank you Sandy for staying beside me even when times were rough. It could not have been done without you. And thank you Jesus for letting this little farm boy from Star City, Indiana be a part of Your World.
