Living Stones Capital Campaign
"Like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood." 1 Peter 2:5
We are approaching the year anniversary when IPF discovered its new headquarters. We searched for over a year for new office space, and at times the search became discouraging. Fr. Rich Gabuzda would always remain positive and remind us that we needed to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us. He would encourage us to say, "Come, Holy Spirit!" That simple, yet powerful prayer was a good reminder to ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all that we do. So often, we get caught in the trap of thinking we are in charge of making things happen, forgetting we are here to do God's Will. Only when we trust in Him will we be able to take the next step and move forward.
It has been a rewarding journey to find the new headquarters for IPF's operations. We have been guided by the power of the Holy Spirit every step of the way. To recap, last year, during the week of Thanksgiving, we found and secured the building with the help of a building committee. We began our Capital Campaign with a successful silent phase. This allowed us to put a significant down payment on the building and begin renovation. We are so grateful for all who have contributed to the second phase of the campaign. Of the funds needed, 75 percent has been donated. So many of our supporters have been walking on this journey with us by offering their prayers, expertise, donations, and encouragement.
