We will always remember the birth day of Word of Truth Baptist Church ~ Daniel shares it! Our first services were held March 3 - 4 and Daniel's birthday is March 4!
We celebrated one year of services on March 3. As a church group we met the week before to flood the neighborhood with tracts and special invitations to our service. Special letters were personally delivered to all the visitors who had come throughout the year. We prayed for people to come out to hear the gospel. And so we arrived Sunday night with great expectations of what God would do.
From a human perspective, it was disappointing that no one out of the normal group that comes, came as a result of our invitations. The neighboring nightclub did not cancel their show to join us. All the people that said they would come, needed to come, didn't come. Despite these facts, we had a special time remembering all that God had done in the remodel of the building to get it ready to be a church, in the faithfulness of those who have come from the begininng and continue. The joy of baptising our first church member who was saved as a result of our initial Bible studies.
The most exciting part was, the girlfriend and daughter of a young man one of our deacons has been discipling, came for the first time! What an answer to prayer. Please pray with us that they would come back and realize their need for Jesus Christ.
As usual, one of our church ladies made a beautiful and delicious cake for the celebration and even brought a candle for Daniel to blow out for his birthday.
We praise the Lord for all that HE has done in this last year, the first year of life for Word of Truth Baptist Church.
