A Building For The House

Impartations are wonderful to receive, but we only really see the fruit of them when we take action.In this episode, Shannon and Andrea share the stories of how God is already moving to provide for our new home. These miracles felt like His seal of approval—His clear 'yes' to our initial steps of action.An anonymous donor and Catch The Fire World presented an opportunity to match their generosity, inviting our Auckland congregation to come on the journey and raise the same amount they were donating.The response from our community was incredible. On the final Sunday of 2024, our church family engaged with what God was doing and we had the money by the end of the day. But God was not done there.After Shannon and Andrea briefly shared what we were up to on a global Catch The Fire Zoom call, a partner church in the States heard our story. The Holy Spirit prompted them to give, and they generously donated $50,000 USD.Entering 2025 with over $600,000 NZD in the bank from spontaneous giving, we were completely blown away. In one of the most unaffordable property markets in the world, we are moving forward with more faith and absolutely no fear.God has provided the seed money.

Catch The Fire Auckland has carried significant prophetic words about owning land and establishing a home in the city throughout its history. For years, the language of promise had been clear. You will own land. You will own a building. You will have a home. They lived with that prophetic promise, knowing that part of the journey would be a building.Then, at a leaders advance in Bulgaria in October 2024, there was a shift in what God was saying. What had always been future language suddenly became present. God was saying, it’s now.In this episode, Andrea and Shannon recount the moment they heard Anderson Lima from Catch The Fire Brazil share his testimony of miraculous provision. They describe the bold negotiation, the mortgage reduced from forty years to three, and the faith that filled the room. At the end of that testimony came a simple invitation. If you need a building, stand. They both immediately responded.In that moment, they received the impartation. It was the substance of faith. It felt tangible. It landed. It was not hopeful thinking. It was clear. They knew something had shifted.They reflect on that turning point, when a long-carried promise stepped out of the distance and into the present, and the promise to build in the future became the call to build now.Journey with us:https://forthehouse.co.nz
