is a blog about Jeff and Wendy Kauffman and an outreach to the poor they started on the streets of South Florida with the goal of eventually starting a church for the unchurched, dechurched and unbelievers in Miami. A church for people that don't like church, reaching the ones furthest from Christ and introducing them to a loving God
As many of you have already heard, we are needing to raise $10,000 to help with ReMerge's new growth spurt. We need to get a bunch of equipment and take care of related administrative costs.
I'm happy to announce that not only are we the proud new owners of 20 folding chairs and 5 tables, but, someone has pledged to buy us a box truck to haul it all in as well!
These were our two main goals! However, we still need several other items and need to cover the costs of licensing, tags, insurance, etc. to the tune of $3,050.00 to reach our full goal.
We are now going to be able to facilitate feeding more people and with that, our weekly food expense is raising as well and need more monthly partners giving $30 or more.

Wow, A lot has happened since we last posted. Today marks 2 years since we packed up everything we owned loaded up our big van and headed to South Florida to answer the call God put on our hearts to serve lost, broken, poor and homeless of South Florida.
In the last month, it seems that everything that we have worked so hard for is falling apart, and no matter how hard we try there seems to be nothing we can do about it. There seems to be literally nothing we can do in our power to save it.
So, the rubber has met the road, and God has brought me face to face with the question, Do you Trust Me? I can be really good at talking about trust, but let me tell you these last few weeks have been more than an exercise in walking out that trust. God and I have spent a lot of face time lately talking this out. One thing I do know is that when I feel enabled to let go the more at peace I feel and the more I praise him in this storm, the more certain I am that His plan is perfect.
There is something very freeing about truly facing the future(which seems rather bleak) and saying O.K. God, bring it! Whatever it may be, bring it! Whatever you want God! To be able to say that and mean it irregardless of what that means is where it is at. These past few years I've been scratching the surface of being able to say that and mean it but these last few weeks, God has taken me into a deeper place. He is taking me into the real knowledge that He is good and my security lies only in Him.
This is the scripture God gave me today.
Matthew 6:34 The Message 34 “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
I have to keep resting in knowing that He has good things in the middle of difficult circumstances if I will just press further. Please pray for us over these next few days as we seek God in his next steps for us and ReMerge.
