The church the Father planted in our city has endured the storms of life for
51 yrs. yesterday, Nov. 12. My earthly father and mother together planted
this "Plant", beginning with an humble storefront in 1958. To an existing bldg,
in 1964 (former 11 yr old First Christian Church). Dad went home in 1989, Mom
in 1999. Three generations of my family worship today in a beautiful facility just
outside the city limits of our city. Situated on approx. six acres.
Though there have been many storms, etc., trials and tests, yet this church has
never split in 51 yrs. I can witness that this is true, having been there from day one.
To God be the Glory for HE alone is worthy to received honor. HE is the one who has
kept this church intact, in spite of the storms. If the Father didn't plant it,
it will be rooted up. Matt. 15:13
This church was begun with an humble man, his wife and eleven children. I am the
eldest daughter. The words above the fountain in front of the church says, "His
children shall have a place of refuge". This place is affectionately called "The Rufuge".
Dad and Mom never saw this facility.
Not only did Noah's ark save his own household, but provided a place for those two
by two's who would come later. Namely the gentiles. Remember the unclean animals
in the sheet vision Peter had. Jesus also told his disciples to go out two by
two. Out of the Old (darkness) Covenant (law) of sin and death, into the New
(glorious Light of the gospel of Jesus Christ). Covenant (Grace, mercy).
1Peter 2:9,10
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Blessings,
