New Life Community Baptist Church


It occurred to me that many have not seen a picture of our church, so I decided to write a quick blog. On April 13th there was an induction service followed by a reception to officially welcome S into ministry. The Lord has been so good to us. We love the church and could not have asked for a better pastor. The service went really well. S was really surprised when a letter from his mentor was read. Here is an excerpt from that letter: "S and his family are in a place they now call 'home.' ... Home is where other believers believe in you and believe in the gifts God has gifted you. It's where S can now be the real S that God has placed inside S... S, even after meeting with you on a regular basis for three years, you would call me 'Major Prophet' and referred to yourself as 'Minor Prophet.' The time has now come for me to pass the mantle on to you. You are no longer the 'Minor Prophet,' but rather a major force in the kingdom of God."

Shane,
How wonderful that the church will be doing this for you on the 13th. You are in our prayers everyday as you minister in Duncan with the Canadian people. Love

Oh my...the words from that letter brought tears to my eyes! That is what Michael and I have prayed for S for so long...a place where his gifts would be appreciated and that he could shine for the Lord. What a blessing!!!
