Hey Friends,
Instead of sending out my usual monthly newsletter, I decided to put together a video so that you could hear about and catch a glimpse of the new space we’re developing on Aurora. The first video is the 3-minute version, while the second one is the 8-minute version which includes a fuller tour of the space and a bit of the backstory of how we ended up here. Thanks for taking the time to watch and thanks for your support!
Blessings,
Ben

Dear Ben,
Thanks for giving us an insight into your “corner of the world”.
Praying that God will expand “your space” and your impact on those who come to “that space” in such a way that you touch more lives for His glory.
Love,
Aunt Ida & Uncle Dan
Awoke this morning to Awake’s great news. It is close to the ‘heart of God’ and a wonderful blessing as we share in (y)our space and the opportunities this will bring for Awake’s ministry.
We’re following with great interest,thankful for this very clear evidence of God’s watchful eye over your community.

Wow. What a gift to have a place to offer the feasting, healing, washing, growing, and restoring hospitality of the Lord of hope. May the Word made flesh be embodied in and among you all. What a resurrection space!
Love to you all.

Dude!
fabulous, BK! ‘An indoor garden’ – where fruts of friendship, care, Holy Spirit and righteousness can grow and flourish and be eaten and shared…Go for it, Ben & Cheri. You guys are doing the stuff.

Nice! You guys have done a ton of work already. I can’t wait to see it come together and fill with life!
Ben, great to see what God’s doing with you and Awake in Seattle. You will continue to be in our prayers.
In Christ,
Zach
Great to see and hear about the vision! I will stay tuned and stay prayerful for your work Ben.
Ben, this is so exciting! It’s so good to hear your voice and see your face, and especially to hear about the great things happening on Aurora! What a ministry. Blessings to you.

This makes me so happy and excited! Thanks for making the video! I’m excited that it allows me to share the vision with others in my life too.
Fantastic, Ben! Congratulations. It must be very exciting/rewarding to see your vision coming to fruition. And such a blessing to the people of Aurora. You look great, but don’t work too hard. If you need some terrific gourmet coffee, I know a very good supplier.

Pretty cool Ben. Pretty soon you will be doing Nooma videos!
Ben! This is fabulous. God’s is moving; He’s at work. I love watching this unfold! I remember talking about this space with Cherie when it was just a dream…and here you are, standing inside of it. I am so thankful that there are faithful people like you and Cherie doing His work of healing, loving, restoring in Seattle. Love you guys!
