Secondly, the involvement of the church family. One of the great benefits of United We Build is that it involves a number of people in the church body who work as a team to reach goals of completion. The involvement of so many people and the visits in the homes of the congregation have served to build a stronger and deeper fellowship among God s people. Not only has God used United We Build at Oakwood to raise funds to build a new facility, but he has also blessed in our regular budget giving. When we look at what is taking place, our Spiritual Preparation Weekend and the UWB campaign did more than any revival effort has ever done.
Baptisms are up, and attendance is up.
We have not only realized that we can accomplish God s vision, but we are seeing it happen. I highly recommend to anyone the UWB campaign. First Baptist Church of Westlake is living proof that God is blessing this scriptural teaching of stewardship.
