"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" ACCB
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Pastor,
[I pray and hope] you are safe even as we are safe in the body but we know all comes from the Lord who gives to us perfectly and in him there is no shadow of turning. I bless the Lord for the year 2023 though it's been a challenging year but still we have a lot to thank God for. He is indeed faithful and His love endures forever. I take this opportunity to thank you and the entire body of Calvary Chapel Lincoln City, we thank God for every bit of support whether in prayers or financial support God knows, but whatever support we received from you has been a force to help us to see through this year 2023. We have been able to rent our church premises through the year and also repair our sound system and even do outreaches. We witnessed new members joining our church slowly by slowly, we baptized 30 people from the missions we had to Bukova in the Eastern part of Uganda and we gave them baptism cards and some Bibles. For that may we share together into the kingdom of God. As we are looking forward to entering the New year 2024, we pray for the Lord's great opening for you and your families and ministries and also for us to grow more in the knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to enter the New Year with our spiritual antennas being raised high in order to hear and quickly identify the Leading of the Lord.
For us as Agape Calvary chapel our theme for 2024 comes from Psalms 16:7-11. Our theme statement says 'OH LORD GUIDE ME". Our objectives in the years 2024 are:
1. To evangelize our community
2. community fellowships
3. improved prayers sessions
4. improved fellowships.
[Our work plan is that] 1. We will be evangelizing our community on a weekly basis and we are going to establish the evangelism teams and training session on evangelism.
2. We are going to improve home fellowships on a weekly basis.
3. We are going to improve on our prayer altar that happens every Friday evening.
4. We are going to put home cells in different corners of our community.
In all this we need God's guidance, and financial support to be effective. So we pray you continue to support us both financially and in prayer.
Our main prayer request is to let God by His mercies open a door for the church to have its land. Secondly, as we are believing God for the Land, let God continue to provide for us financially with funds enough to pay our rents.
Thank you friends this remains you sincerely in service,
Ps. Bartholomew Agape Calvary Chapel Bulenga
