A Word from Pastor (Papa) George
Africa – Times of rejoicing, March 11, 2021
We were blessed to receive testimonies of God’s faithfulness as our co-laborers in central Africa reached out to the
in the month of February.
Along with seminars, leader’s training and church dedications, they were scattered in their communities and witnessed 1,169 make their decision to repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior. Prior to these various outreaches, they meet and encourage local believers in their community to make themselves available to disciple these new believers as they connect up with a local church fellowship and begin their journey to become true disciples of Jesus Christ. This is not accidental or casual discipleship; this is intentional discipleship to ensure these new believers are taught the uncompromised word of God and become mature in their faith and purpose.

USA – Harvest Home luncheon, March 6, 2021
Five Couples = 209 Years
Many thanks to Richard and Linda who spent a lot of time preparing food and set up for a small luncheon at the Harvest Home. We got to know each other and found out that only three people were actually born in Washington. Great testimonies, fellowship, and enjoyed an excellent meal. We were able to pray together for the members of our different families.
The five couples that attended have been married for a total of 209 years.

USA – Salt & Light fellowship, March 5, 2021
We are excited that the work setting up the small fellowship center at the Garden of Eden family ministry in west Mt. Vernon at 14799 Avon Allen Rd. is almost all completed.
We are having fellowship on Sundays from 1-3 pm, break bread as a family from 3-4 pm, and then a second service from 4-6 pm. The first service is contemporary worship and the second is gospel hymns.
We are getting the outside area prepared for spring, including the sports and games, that can be done outside as the weather permits.
We are also collecting and distributing items that can be used to help the friends in our community that live on the streets.
At the present time, we have only a one-room facility.
- We are requesting that everyone that has small children help us as we come together.
- No running or throwing things.
- Please help us make sure small children are not on the music platform or the sound booth.
- We have food available for the potluck and when it is time to eat, we request that the parents help the kids get their plate and have a place to sit.
- Immediately after the potluck, we clean up and begin the second service.
We are making every effort to meet everyone’s needs in the time we are together which requires everyone working together.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Africa – The joy of the Lord is our strength, March 5, 2021
We are thankful for the opportunity to stand with our co-laborers in the harvest fields of their communities. Pr. Augustine continues to reach people in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and it is always a blessing to witness new believers that are given the opportunity and choose to make their confession public through baptism.
Pr. Patrick, who founded and over-sees the Nalidi Grace Primary School in Nalidi in eastern Uganda, works hand and hand with teachers and others in the poor community to provide education and hope, along with the gospel message to hundreds of children in the community. Even though school is under restricted guidelines, they are still trusting God every day for the food needed to take care of the orphans that live at the school because they have no other home.
