Win in Queens

As many of you already know (especially thanks for a recent Pentecostal Evangel article), our church in Forest Hills, NY was recently expelled from renting a public school for weekly worship.  In a city with an infamous housing dilemma and cost of living, the prospects were slimmed and unappealing.  However, we trusted God and knew He was sovereignly in control of everything.  Within a week, we had a new location secured at a generous rate; but it was with major changes.

For starters, we would have to leave Forest Hills and meet in a neighboring area (Rego Park).  Second, services would need to take place at night, as the venue would be occupied during the day.  Finally, we would be meeting a church which already hosts two other congregations, therefore, there would be no option for permanent advertisement.  How would our people and neighborhood react to so many changes?

Well, last night was our first night in our new venue.  With only a form-email inviting our past attendees to participate, the church was packed!  (The above photo was taken just after 6pm.)  More importantly, the Spirit of God filled His house with His presence and new people were saved.  On a night of unprecedented victories, this was the biggest!!

Thank you all for your prayers and financial support.  We simply cannot be the church God has ordained us to be without you!  It is seriously like living the book of Acts; kicked out of one place for God to same more in another city.  Awesome.
