Local Church Update

This past month, the church in Forest Hills (FHCC) has experienced a real “shot in the arm.”  Not only have the new people from Easter stayed with us, but they are also growing in their faith, making new friends, and serving in ministry.  It’s not a windfall of numbers, but it is solid evidence of God’s involvement and effectiveness in the ministry.  One of these new ladies is of particular inspiration, given her Chinese heritage.  She came to faith through a home church in Communist China and has spent the last few years living in CA and TX amid a myriad of churches and Christians.  However, it was not until she began attending our church plant that she felt at “home” and with like-minded, dedicated Believers.   In her words, “FHCC not only preaches what it means to be a Christian, but every member tries to live out that conviction and message with great cost.”  Amen!
