MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Village
Church: The Beginnings: A Story Worth Telling": a profound novel
that accounts the history of a church built from the ground up and
the struggles that came with it. "Village Church: The Beginnings: A
Story Worth Telling" is the creation of published author
Edgar L. Williams Jr., a retired
pastor. He pastored twenty-seven years and founded Village Church.
He retired from Norfolk State
University after teaching business for more than twenty
years. He is also a veteran, having served four years as an Air
Force officer.
Edgar L. Williams Jr. shares,
"You want to get in on the ground floor, do you? That is to say you
want to build a church from the ground up. No problem. It's doable.
But only if you first believe that the impossible and perhaps the
improbable is indeed possible. There are no guidelines to tell you
step by step on how you go about this mission for the Almighty. If
you have a relatively small congregation with no millionaires and
frankly no big-income earners, you could find yourself— no, you
will find yourself with challenges that are certain to give you
pause. Doubt could double down on your expectations. In that case,
are you sure you want to be in on the ground floor? Of course, you
might, but how about the people? Can you keep them motivated over
whatever time it takes? Can you encourage them to give, give, give?
Can you explain why things aren't going faster than they are?
"Many people are excited by the fact that their congregation
which has no church building is going to build one. After all, very
few structures that can be afforded are on the market. You know
that because you tried. If you tried and failed to buy something
already in existence, then what option do you have? If you're
excited about having a church, the only option is to build. It
might be impossible, but we don't believe that. It might be
improbable, but we don't believe that. After all, we believe that
all things are possible to those who believe.
"Belief can take a beating when things just don't go like you
wanted them to go. When you made your pitch to the bank and you
presented them with numbers you thought they would fall in love
with and they didn't, what then? Surely, they could see that your
plan was sound, and that they could depend on your character to pay
them back. When you leave the bankers with your head hung down, is
there a plan B? Nobody told you about being in existence for ten
years before the bank would talk seriously with you. But muttering
and complaining just won't do. What are you going to tell the eager
congregation who await your good news about building the church?
You tell them the truth and keep it moving. God would make a way
somehow."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Edgar L. Williams Jr.'s new book is a brilliant
testimony that anything which seems impossible is still doable
because God provides a way and one just needs to hear Him
within.
