WORSHIP MINISTRIES Beniel Church of the Nazarene An Alabaster
in NortonStory fromI Sri
Bridge. amLanka
Jinarani. I live
in Norton Bridge, and I wish to share my testimony about the Church
of the Nazarene of Norton Bridge. In the end of 2001, a JESUS Film
Choir Practice tonight at 4:45pm team came to our village and presented the film with great
difficulties. Our village is in a remote area, so it is difficult to get
together in one place. Therefore, the team experienced a lot of
hardship in gathering the people. They showed the JESUS Film
anyhow. Soon after this, the team did the follow-up, and we
accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior. Thereafter, we started to pray
on Sundays in a believers house. After some time, more than 30
believers were gathered in that house; therefore, we have to move
to a new place. Our church purchased a piece of land with a small
hut where we began Sunday worship. Day by day, people came to
know about Jesus Christ, and it was necessary to build a church
building. As an Alabaster project, a new church building was
constructed, and now we worship on Sundays in this new building. I
am happy to say that God did miracle in our life. Jinarani, Norton
Bridge, Hatton, Sri Lanka

there are children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, siblings, cousins,
friends, and colleagues missing from our lives because of it.
MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did you knowthat the body of Christ in Houston has stepped up to
assist in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey? A note from the Christian
Legal Society Houston Attorney Chapter states: "It will be a long recovery
period for Houston. Please keep all those who were hit the hardest in your
prayers. Houston is also shining in terms of volunteer efforts. The
shelters are actually turning volunteers away. My church, Ecclesia, has
mobilized 700 volunteers alone. Many other churches are doing the
same. The people of God are spreading His love in our community from
many, many places."
