Building Disciples, Building the Church
I thank God for our church! We began as a small group meeting in a restaurant with only a few regular attendees. Over time, God provided us with our own worship place. Although our church has grown slowly, more people have joined, and many now bring their families to worship and study the Bible. Today,…
