During our Christmas dinner for the community in San Francisco, someone who is a business owner had offered their facility as a place for us to hold classes, such as cooking classes and other health and lifestyle events. During the last couple of weeks, this materialized. By the providence of God, we are now holding a weekly vegan dinner in downtown San Francisco, and biweekly classes on a variety of health topics, leading up to an evangelistic series later in the Spring. Attendance in excellent, and we are networking with several other organizations in the process.

Another blessing we received is the donation to our nonprofit of a very nice sailboat with an excellent, roomy cabin layout. The owners of our office building in Petaluma have put the building on the market and everyone is moving out. We are thinking of using the sailboat as an office on the water at the marina, plenty of room for computer equipment, etc. We feel blessed!

That is way cool. Was the business owner an SDA or just "someone" that felt *led* to offer the office space?? Either way, praying that your meetings will be fruitful.

Thanks, Liz. No, the business owner is not even a Christian as far as I know. She just likes the classes we are putting on. I am big into networking with the community and with other organizations. Things seem to work better when doing things on that basis, rather than specifically as a formal activity of the church.
