"God's 300"
We are on our way to the new building! God has blessed our church amazingly and we are now closing in on Phase II of the building plan! We need to raise little over $200,000 in the next year to complete the building cost for our new Church building on our 30 acre pacel of land at 8300 Infirmary Rd. Our preacher has started the "God's 300" program in which 300 people will help us win the battle just like God had 300 men to stand with Gideon in the Old Testament (Judges 7:7)! The plan is simple:
300 People Giving $58 Per Month for 12 Months = $208,000!
A beautiful lasting bronze plaque will be made with all the names of God's 300 and will be placed in our new building!

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsover I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
