Hey guys, so here is the thing, I took a job for 3 months working for Mennonites, (temporary work) while I was a way, my landlord gave me 60 days notice to vacate my unit, I was only supposed to be gone 3 months, which is about now from Nov 6 to about Jan 29.

The old order Mennonites are saying they can provide housing and work as long as I am willing to join their church but their wives are having an issue with me being of big build, and as well as being a stranger from out side the community and I guess also because I am single......

Yeah I don't know where I am going to be living after February, or if I am even going to be going back there or not. I just know I have to be out by Mid March

Jesus did not teach His disciples or the Early Church to set traps in order to increase Church membership. I have been a member of a conservative Mennonite church for the last 20 years, yet they still consider me an outsider. I am not eligible for any leadership positions because I am single. I am there simply because God put me there. Count the cost and pray before you join "their" church. God bless you and give you wisdom, brother. I will pray with you and for you about and for your situation.

can someone please pray for me, I feel I have been set aside for the lord, for some reason that has not been revealed. This has been going on for a long time. Am I being deceived by the enemy, or is all good. When I pray for this answer, I seem to get silence. Also when I pray I hear "expect a marriage proposal" I don't even have a girlfriend! Thanks everyone

I know he didn't and I am not looking at membership with the church my boss is with, I am looking at Orthodox Mennonites, the horse and buggy guys. I know the cost, I am basically volunteering to give up everything to draw closer to Christ.

It maybe an answer to prayer for finding work to get off Social Assistance, It might also be an answer to a couple other prayers as well, like to get married and have a family before I die or I get raptured. I've asked God to bless his loyal faithful servants in the past, but I didn't think he would use me to be a blessing to the old order Mennonites........

I am sure everyone here knows we are supposed to be soldiers for Christ against Satan and the forces of evil, I think when I enlisted Jesus decided to put me into his special forces.... (hahaha)

It's not the first time I have had to give up everything.
