God is Working

When God works He goes all the way

Martin asked us to pray for his church congregation as they were looking into the possibility of building a church. Cost was a concern as they have only 40 members. Here is God’s answer to his request:

"When we moved here there was about six to ten people meeting o Sabbath at the Company Leaders house, currently we have about 30 - 40 people attending (Praise the Lord).

This presented us with a dilemma because after we moved out of the elders house even the place where we are now renting is now too small. We started to pray for another place where we could meet. We were looking for a larger place to rent but no luck. One day we found out that there was a local J.W. church for sale for $139,900. Our Church elder said that we should look into it, but with only $15,000 in the bank for a building fund it was impossible.

To make a long story short there was a miracle and we now own a church building DEBT FREE! The price was negotiated to $100,000 and there was a $50,000 donation promised to us if we could raise the other $50,000. Within two days $20,000 was contributed from the conference, $15,000 donation from one of our elderly member, and our $15,000 in the building fund made it there.

We were discussing at the business meeting that we still need to get a Piano. By the end of the meeting one of the members that was not present there called and donated $5,000, so now we will even have a Piano. When God works He goes all the way. " Martin, June 1999.

"How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?" (Psalm 137:4). I was so sad to read this psalm that the people of God hanged their musical instruments on the willow trees and unable to sing the Lord's songs amidst the difficult situation in foreign land. Unable to sing or play instruments because of political oppression, unable to perform because of financial hardship, unable to praise God because they were away from their home country. So sad, they felt that they were away from the presence of the Living God.

How about you my friends, will you be kept quiet and not praising God amidst the storms of life? Do not feel that Living God is away from you. He is always with us, near us, caring us, guiding and blessing us with His presence. So, Join us on August 15, to sing, to shout, to praise, and to dance together at Little Theatre, Daly City.

In the beginning God...

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
God is the creator of everything, He is the author of the history of universe, and He is the only way to have a blessed new year.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, "says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8). God holds our past, present, and our future. He is our true hope for this new year.
So, "Let is fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2).

Happy and blessed new year 2009

Wishing you all a very happy and blessed new year. God's promises give us hope for new year. Psalmist says, "You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing." (Psalm 65:11-13).

Give thanks to God for 2008 with full of His blessings and guidance. We have overcome everything even the most difficult time of hardship and trials. God is with us every step we walk and will be waiting for us in the new year as our Captain of new journey.

In Christ,
Pastor Latt
