This document outlines a church's plan to purchase and renovate a local theater building to use as a facility for various ministries and community programs. It discusses the vision for how the theater could serve as a "vehicle" for growth. A 3-phase plan is presented, including receiving initial funds, making an offer and touring the theater, signing covenants and voting, renovating the building, and celebrating and moving in. Exercises are included to pray about the vision and commitment to the project.

2. NEHEMIAH 1:1-4
“Those who survived the exile & are back
in the province are in great trouble & disgrace. The

& its gates have been burned with fire.”

some days I mourned & fasted & prayed before the
God of heaven…
