CHURCH NEWS

Under the guidance of our Lord Jesus, the Summer Spiritual Convocations of all churches and prayer houses in the UnitedState and Canada came to an end in the first week of September.

May all the glory and praise be to the Lord, for He blessed us richly in many ways.  Genuine love, unity in the Spirit hard and diligent work in personal evangelism and devotional prayers of many brothers and sisters surely touched the heart of our Lord.  He graciously opened the door of salvation, brought many people into His Kingdom, and poured down His blessings as showers upon us.

We pray that our Lord Jesus will work even more mightily throughout the continent of Northern America to expand His Kingdom on earth, for the time of harvest has come (Jn 4:35, 36).  May the Lord fill us with His love and Spirit so that we can pray more effectively and preach more diligently to save souls.

Please pray for all the newly baptized members.  May God keep them and strengthen their faith.  Following is a chronology of events during the month of June & September:
