It
was in the year of 1980 were we started building the foundation
of the second miracle of Bethlehem after Jesus birth. It is the
birth of the First Baptist Church in Bethlehem. We built it step
by step after one and a half year the church was completed, with
the auditorium first, which seats around 400 people, six classrooms
for Sunday school and church offices.
For
dedication day we had around five hundred people attended and Dr.
Kenneth Gillming Pastor of Cherry Street Baptist Church and my sending
church was the main speaker. We are so thankful to see so many activities
that have come out of this church such as, choir, youth rally, young
people activities, ladies prayer meeting, a small Bible College
and V.B.S. that reaches up to 300 boys and girls during the summer
time.
We
have seen hundreds of people that have come to know the Lord Jesus
Christ through visitation, witnessing, and church service. As you
know it is very difficult for them to stay close to church because
a price must be paid, but thank the Lord for the ones who are willing
to pay the price and to stay close to the Lord and to love the Lord
and serve Him and witness about Him. |
