ordained by World Christianship Ministries, and the success he had in
reopening an abandon church in his community.

Bethel Mission Church, built in 1860 I
was ordained by World Christianship in February of 1997. Having
always
felt a call to the ministry, I didn't know how I could find the time to
attend a Bible college while I was full time employed.
Many years have passed since then, but one day while talking about my
interest
in preaching, I was handed a set of forms from World Christianship, and
things started to happen. Praise God!In May I decided to start a church and made my wishes known to others. The Lord answered my prayers in mid May. I was given a church to use full time just for maintaining it and the grounds plus a small cemetery. Rev. Arthur and part of his congregation on church steps Our first service was June 8, 1997 and we have been having regular
services
on Sunday and Wednesday since then.
We started with a small congregation of 10, and with the Lord's help we are growing.
We have led several to Christ and Baptism in July, others will follow as we grow.
Being ordained through conventional methods was impossible for me. But through World Christianship it became a reality. Praise God! Inside the church looking towards the pulpit The view from the pulpit |
Note from World Christianship Ministries: Thank you Rev. Arthur for taking the time to share your testimony and the pictures of your wonderful and "Spirit filled" new ministry and church. You and your beautiful family, and your devoted congregation are an inspiration to us all. We know that many wonderful works "in Christ" will be accomplished by all of you. |
