The brigtness of the day and the savourity of the year have given us the
above church the golden opportunity of writing, God is really showing us His
mercies and blessing by increasing the our membership growth that the place
we rented for fellowship cannot arcommdate us,so we now decided to have our
own church building,so we bought a land with the church account that our
account is reading red, i will explain to u are u coming,now are have two
budget in hand to execute which are building our new church and reabli the
uder privilage ones in my society.
This budget of ours need money and how can we do this whaen our account is
reading red but there is always a way and can be done through fund
raising,this is were you coming, please this how we are going to do it,the
land we bought is very large and can contain ten buildings and there will
still be little plot left.so we think of having the church and the under
privilage rebli center but there is no money to do this work given to us by
God, this is the reason why we are writing.Jesus said i was ill, you did not
care, i was in prison you did not visit me and the disciple said lord this
things you are saying did not happined, so christ said i didnot meaning
myself but others meaning the under privilage ones.God have assign you to do
this work for HIM.
