Message from President Audrey P. Neal Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously and He will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 Happy New Year My Dear Sisters, God has granted us another opportunity to serve in His vineyard. So, let us praise His name and begin the 2016 year by using the Seven Steps listed below for spiritual growth each day: -Open your Bible and select a passage to read. (Matthew 13:11) -Think deeply and meditate on the words. -Remember this is your time with God. -Sense His presence enjoy being with Him. -Ask, God, what do you want to say to me? -Listen to what He has to say. -Receive His peace that passes all understanding. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. James 4:8 Prayerfully, all is well and that you are making preparations to join us at each of our events throughout the 2016 calendar year. Thank each of you for your loyal support, prayers and words of encouragement. I know that God has much in store for us. We are truly blessed by the work that He has done through us and for us. As Christian believers, let us continue with our commitment in the work of the Lord. This year, it is my prayer that each of you will attend the events with open ears and ready minds to accept the word of God. We must go forth declaring that there is a need for the Word of God. The world is hungry for the Living Bread and we are the earthly vessels that God uses in reaching the masses, men of every birth. Together, let us lift the name of Jesus; He is the key to saving lost souls. Let there be unity and true fellowship among us as we come together to plan the work and depart to work the plan. Remember only what we do for Christ will be counted in the end. Praying God s Blessing upon you. President Audrey P. Neal
