Celebrating One Year of The James Place!
God is in the details! One year ago, on the 7th day of the 7th month of the calendar year, we closed on the new land that will be the permanent home of The James Place.
The number 7 in the Bible holds much meaning and significance. Mentioned over 700 times in the Bible, the number 7 symbolizes perfection and completeness.
A few examples of the number 7 in the Bible:
God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th.
Joshua and his people marched around Jericho for 7 days - they circled 7 times on the 7th day. Then 7 priests blew their 7 trumpets and the walls came tumbling down.
In Matthew, Jesus says He is the "I AM" 7 times.
We are encouraged to see this significant number mark the provision of a permanent home for Heal Ministries in Jinja, Uganda! As a way to celebrate and remember God's faithfulness and sovereignty, Trey cooked a pot of jambalaya with our kitchen staff. We enjoyed an afternoon of fun, games, and fellowship for our James Place community and friends - celebrating the goodness of God together.
Praise God for His provision!
