S H A R I N G O U R F A I T H ANNUAL REPORT
Contents Sharing Our Faith We entered with the expectation that God would crown the year with His goodness. He did not disappoint! With the Lord s grace and the support of you our faithful congregants Christ Church reached great heights. We redoubled our efforts to establish this ministry as a strong House of Prayer, sharing our faith with the local and global community. It has always been in my heart and that of the pastoral team to not only see us pray more often, but to see us experience the power of prayer. From such events as the Evangelism Seminar and Prayerfest, to the 40-Day Kneeling Warrior Journey and The School of Prayer, thousands have been touched. Intercessors received training, and ordinary believers were transformed into prayer champions. Our Holy Week celebration brought more souls to Jesus Christ than ever before. And I am proud to share that Christ Church welcomed more than 1,200 converts for the year. E.M. Bounds said: No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack. I am grateful and humbled by your fervor. And I thank you for sharing your faith and building up His house. David D. Ireland, Ph.D. Senior Pastor Christ Church was founded in 1986 by Dr. David Ireland and his wife Marlinda. From a group of less than a dozen people, Christ Church has grown to a congregation of more than 7,000. We present the Gospel of Jesus Christ as God s plan of salvation for all. Our worship services and community-based activities provide inspiration and Bible-based instruction for every member of the family.
