GOD IS ON THE MOVE! The BFKG Banquet was a beautiful and amazing evening! Between the sweet mingling of wonderful people (new friends), engaging conversations, abundant and delicious food, honest and inspiring testimonies, lively worship and the Godly insight and wisdom spoken through our Pastor, the BFKG Banquet was a tremendous gift and blessing to us! The "behind the scenes" efforts, which seemed to be executed flawlessly, are all so appreciated and were key in making this an evening that truly honored God and His plan for His Church! The obvious result in all of the BFKG events has been a demonstrated unity of our church body and a revival in the family of Christ. Keep S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G us Lord! To God be the Glory!

This whole process has opened up my world in the HR Alliance family!!! Jim and I were privileged to chair the prayer visitor team. I got to know some members of this family better, met some new ones, all through the visits! And the banquet . . .fabulous! I met more new folks at my table and got to know folks I knew better. So fun and special! As pastor Tim said, "This project is about and for our Lord." I truly am confident that we are building for His kingdom. Whether we do this building or not, our church body is closer and doing a more effective job of reaching out and loving for Jesus because of this project. We do indeed have an awesome God!

The Banquet was amazing! So exciting to see all of us together...it felt very powerful...all of us working together as one big team...doing God's work here on earth. The $950,000 raised was a real boost. It's wonderful to see what we can accomplish when we all have our hearts in the same direction. When do we break ground?!
The food was yummy...how generous for all those businesses to donate the food. I loved having communion at the table. Breaking bread together feels really wonderful and it was a good way to start the evening...focusing our hearts and minds on the reason for the banquet...doing His will.
We have an awesome church and I feel blessed to be a part of it.

We thought the banquet was wonderful. Thank you Andy and crew for doing such a great job in making it a top notch event. The food was great and the fellowship was sweet. We were blessed to be able to participate in corporate worship and praise with so many from our body. The money was the icing on the cake.

I've often felt God's presence so powerfully I seemed to have literally stepped into the kingdom of Heaven. The unity, joy and faith of so many believers sharing one common dream for Hood River Alliance Church was evident in the conversations and excitement of the banquet. The generous pledges of our church leaders toward the building expansion is a catalyst for the personal committment of our entire church. May Christs love remain in us as this dream is fullfilled. And when we truly do step into Heaven and stand before God He sincerely will say, "WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS".
