A Note From Gary:

It seems amazing, but here we are at the beginning of another month! 
Time is flying by and with that, the realization that we must continue to be about our Father’s business which is of course, the task of seeing souls won into the Kingdom; John 4:35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
Hanging Rock is surrounded by fields that will soon be harvested. There is a certain time in which to harvest the fields, and if that time goes by without the work being done, the valuable crops simply waste away in the fields. I believe we are in “harvest time” as we look forward to the soon return of Jesus Christ.
I want you to know, that Hanging Rock has truly been blessed by the generosity of so many poeple. There is great joy in giving, we have raised the needed funds to start the Chapel. There is so much excitment and anticipation to get started on this project!  Becuase of your generosity many more souls will be won to Christ. 
I'm so excited to see the Chapel remodeled! " I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest."
On behalf of the leadership of Hanging Rock , We would like to express our deepest appreciation for your faithful giving to this ministry.
May God continue to richly bless you!

In Christ,
Gary Baker -Executive Director
