Update from New York City - God is Working

Monday, 22 February 2010 08:27

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11

In the past two years God has blessed the New York City Church of Christ with 360 souls baptized into Christ and another 141 restored to the faith. The New York church is seeing a revival in the campus, teen, singles and married adult ministries. The campus ministry is growing strong and now has students on 38 campuses in the metropolitan area. The teen "Solid Rock" devotional had 210 in attendance at its most recent gathering, and more and more teens are becoming disciples. God is blessing the singles as they stand strong in the faith and take ownership of their ministry. More than 600 attended their fall retreat. This month 500 married couples came together for the annual marriage retreat for a time of inspiration and encouragement. Our great God continues to prove his faithfulness as we give our hearts to him. Only God can make things grow! All the glory belongs to Him. It is our honor and privilege to serve at his request.

Sam Powell, lead evangelist
