Rejoice!  God has done great things!  We would like to share a few highlights from 2007 as we watched the Lord move in response to our prayers, and the prayers of all those that stand with us throughout the year.

 

There were several training workshops taking place in early 2007, one of which was "Healing Ministry Workshop."  This was a collaboration between the Wednesday evening School of Healing, the Usher's Dept. Healing Class, and the Evangelism Department.  Several people experienced healing miracles in the midst of the training and ministry, then weeks after the training one of our team members was healed of an ongoing heart problem.  The doctors advised her to stop using her medication as it was no longer needed.

 

One of the many things we were praying for last year was fruit that remains.  God has called us to be fruitful and have lasting fruit.  Last year through our Compassion Ministry we begin to establish relationship with the homeless.  After an all day outing last February which including a movie outing, "The Pursuit of Happyness," several of them remain connected with us today.  One lady has been delivered from a 20 year drug addiction, reconciled to her children and family, and is a part of our membership.  A couple of others have been consistent for months in a drug treatment program, is now housed and happy to be sober.  They are quick to say that they owe it all to Jesus.  One other man is also in a southside church housing program and busy doing the things he loves, cooking meals in their kichen daily.  He can be found in our church service every Tuesday.  For all of the others not listed here, we are standing with them and praying for them, while being grateful for the transformation being brought to their lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.
