My Dad passed away in 1999 and my Mom in 2000 and I was given one of their houses. For a while, I rented the house out to different people and was having all kinds of bad luck with renters. One Sunday after coming back to Fayetteville from one of our Deaf Choir performances, I decided to stop by the house to touch base with my renters. To my surprise,not only they moved out, but they nearly destroyed my property.
After much prayer and soul searching, I decided to dedicate the house to the Lord. I said, "Lord, this is your house......do with it in any way you see fit". A few days later, the Lord revealed to me to use the house for a deaf church/group home. It has been used for this purpose since August, 2002 and I have seen many great blessings.
The name of our deaf church is "Bethel Deaf Fellowship". The word "Bethel" means "the house of God". In Genesis 35:3, it says "And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went." This verse is about when Jacob was running away from his angry brother and God appeared to him at this place he called "Bethel". That day I came to this place and found the renters had almost destroyed it, I was in distress but God was there and He answered me by revealing to me that its time for me to dedicate the place to Him.
My future goal is to build a church building behind the house and continue using the house for a group home or a residence for our minister. This is the Lord's house now and I will let Him guide me in His time and in His way.
To God Be the Glory,
Priscilla Scanlan
(As of April, 2004, the house is being used as a residence for our pastor, Bro. Rocky Shifflett and family.)
