“In less than 6 months, we witnessed a lot of tremendous success and achievements spiritually and otherwise. Today our Bible Study is a weekly revival programme and our members have increased tremendously.
“Early this year after Beginning of Year prayer, our pastor told us that there is need to upgrade amplifier and money was raised but to our surprise, the amplifier came with a brand new keyboard”, he noted

“And few weeks later he challenged us again to raise money for Band and before we could complete the vows; the band is already here even when the reconstruction of the altar has began few weeks ago. Many of us were afraid but today it is a reality, Glory to Jesus”
