"... and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."


matthew 28:20

In this time of insecurity, there is one thing we can always feel secure about. Everything may be changing, but God will never change. God promises us time and time again that He is with us and will never leave us nor forsake us.
We can count on Him. He is a man of integrity. He stands behind His word to complete it. He is not going anywhere. There is nothing too big or more powerful than He is. The Holy spirit that lives inside of each believer walks along side them all the way. He is there to comfort, guide and equip us for every challenge we face in life.


When we don’t know what to do, He gives us the wisdom to make the right choice. When we lose our job and financial security, He gives us favor and helps us get a better job and restores all we have lost. He helps us rebuild and have a new beginning. When we are sick, He heals us. He protects us and keeps us from any trouble that might be formed against us.


When everything around us is falling apart, He keeps us stable and focused. Always remember that what you focus on grows. Keep God's promises before you and stand strong. This is the most exciting time to be alive. We are the light shining in such an unstable world right now. We can lead so many hurting people to the Lord. We can walk along side them and help them get through it.
Let’s be the glorious church that Jesus is counting on. Fear has no place in our minds. Faith rejects fear. We must put it under our feet and refuse to give place to it. We need to choose to be faith-filled and not fear-full.

CHILDREN REACHING CHILDREN

The children here begin school in March and finish in December. Because of the virus, all schools have been closed. They do not own computers, so they have been on vacation all of this time.


A lot of people have come to the Lord because of this virus! We are doing our best to keep up with all of the new ones.
