Romans 6:22
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life\.\</strong\>\</p\> \<p\>In this fallen world, you can be a slave of sin or a slave of God\. One drags you toward destruction, while the other leads you to life everlasting\. And the more you follow God, the more your life begins to bear fruit, fruit that will last\.\</p\>

1 Peter 2:16
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free\. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery\.\</strong\>\</p\> \<p\>If you're trying to eat healthier, you don't spend all day thinking about donuts\. Instead, you fill your plate with foods that will nourish you\. In the same way, the Christian life isn't just about avoiding sin, it's about pursuing the freedom Christ has given you\. Freedom to allow the fruits of the Spirit to grow deeper in your heart every single day\.\</p\>

Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free\. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery\.\</strong\>\</p\> \<p\>If you're trying to eat healthier, you don't spend all day thinking about donuts\. Instead, you fill your plate with foods that will nourish you\. In the same way, the Christian life isn't just about avoiding sin, it's about pursuing the freedom Christ has given you\.

1 Corinthians 6:12
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful\. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be dominated by anything\.\</strong\>\</p\> \<p\>When you get a license to drive, it gives you the freedom to drive anywhere you want, but not any way you want\. And it’s the same when it comes to your relationship with God\. You have freedom to live in this world, but not any way you want\. So, when you have a decision to make, it’s worth asking: will this help me grow closer to Christ, or will it end up controlling me? \</p\>

John 8:36
So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed\.\</strong\>\</p\> \<p\>Everyone in the world sins\. And the problem with sin is it becomes your master by keeping you trapped in your own bad choices\. Thankfully, Jesus’ death and resurrection broke the power of sin in your life\. And now, you can live in the freedom He freely gives\.\</p\>

## 5000
- [July '26 Update](https://www.familylife.org/5000/july-26-update/): Recently, Family Life staff spent a morning prayer walking around the future site of our new ministry facility\. It was a special time to pause, seek the Lord together, and dedicate this project to Him once again\.

As we walked the property, it was hard not to imagine the ministry that could one day take place there\. We pictured people gathering to worship, families attending events, lives being changed through the hope of Christ, and guests traveling from across New York, Pennsylvania, and beyond\. It was a powerful reminder that this project has always been about much more than constructing a building\. It is about creating a place where people can encounter Jesus\.

That morning also reminded us of an important truth: this project will only move forward through God's provision and His blessing\. While we continue to wait for the next steps, we are confident that He is leading, and we trust that His timing is perfect\.

\<em\>"Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus\." \</em\>Philippians 1:6

As we look ahead, we invite you to continue praying with us\.

\<strong\>Please Pray With Us:\</strong\>
\<ul\>
 	\<li\>For God's provision and the funding needed to begin construction\</li\>
 	\<li\>For wisdom as ministry leaders navigate upcoming decisions\</li\>
 	\<li\>For continued favor with local officials and the surrounding community\</li\>
 	\<li\>For lives that will one day be impacted through this ministry\</li\>
 	\<li\>For faith, patience, and unity as we continue trusting God's timing\</li\>
\</ul\>
Thank you for faithfully standing with Family Life in prayer\. Your prayers are making a difference, and we are grateful to trust the Lord together for all that lies ahead\.
- [June '26 Update](https://www.familylife.org/5000/june-26-update/): There is something exciting about watching a project come to life\. Whether it is a home, a business, or a ministry facility, we naturally look ahead and wonder what it will become, who it will serve, and how it will make a difference\.

As we continue praying for the new Family Life facility, we are reminded that God is building something far greater than a physical structure\. He is building His Kingdom, changing lives, and drawing people to Himself\.

Scripture reminds us where every lasting work begins: \<em\>“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ\.” \</em\>1 Corinthians 3:11

While we look forward to the day construction begins, we can already see God at work\. Every prayer offered, every life touched, and every person who finds hope through this ministry points to His faithfulness\. His Kingdom continues to grow, even as we wait\.

That is why we remain hopeful\. \<em\>“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him\.”\</em\> Romans 15:13

One of the greatest encouragements this month came from a young supporter who shared that she prays for the new facility every night\. What a beautiful reminder that God is moving people of all ages to pray for this project\. From children to longtime supporters, each prayer is a meaningful part of what God is doing\.

As we continue this journey, let's keep our eyes on the Lord and the work He is accomplishing through Family Life every day\. We trust His timing\. We trust His provision\. And we trust that He is moving ahead of us, even when we cannot yet see the full picture\.

\<strong\>Please Pray with Us:\</strong\>
\<ul\>
 	\<li\>For wisdom and direction for ministry leadership\</li\>
 	\<li\>For God's provision and the funding needed to move the project forward\</li\>
 	\<li\>For patience and faith as we wait on His timing\</li\>
 	\<li\>For the many lives that will be impacted through this ministry for years to come\</li\>
\</ul\>
Thank you for continuing to stand with Family Life in prayer\. Your faithfulness encourages us, and we are grateful to trust the Lord together\.
- [May '26 Update](https://www.familylife.org/5000/may-26-update/): Thank you for faithfully praying for Family Life and the new facility project\. Prayer has always been central to this ministry, and we are deeply grateful for the many people who continue to lift this work before the Lord month after month\.

Scripture reminds us that prayer is not passive\. It is meaningful work rooted in faith, persistence, and trust in God’s timing and provision\. \<em\>“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective\.” \</em\>James 5:16

Over the past several months, we have faced challenges and uncertainty regarding the project timeline and the construction process\. At times, the path ahead has felt unclear, and we have needed God’s direction and favor in very real ways\.

Last month, many of you joined us in praying specifically for wisdom, open doors, and positive conversations with local leaders\. We are grateful to share that those meetings were very encouraging\. Community leaders expressed strong support for the project and a genuine desire to see the facility move forward successfully\.

That was a meaningful reminder that God hears the prayers of His people and continues to work in ways we may not always expect\.

\<strong\>As we move ahead, we would appreciate your continued prayers:\</strong\>
\<ul\>
 	\<li\>For God’s provision and the funding needed to begin construction\</li\>
 	\<li\>For wisdom and clarity in each next step\</li\>
 	\<li\>For continued favor and strong relationships with community leaders\</li\>
 	\<li\>For patience, endurance, and unity as we wait on the Lord’s timing\</li\>
\</ul\>
Thank you again for standing with Family Life in prayer\. Your faithfulness and encouragement mean more than we can fully express, and we remain hopeful for what God will do in the days ahead\.
