Where Two or Three are Gathered

It’s a rainy night in Red Hill. A bare light bulb hangs from the ceiling of the aluminum shack. A carpet covers the floor, the dirt foundation peeking from underneath its frayed edges. One by one, the men file in through a creaky door and take a seat wherever they can find one in the cramped room.

These humble surroundings have become home to a weekly Bible study over the past three months. These men – and a few women as well – are growing in their knowledge of God. To see it is to realize that God’s Church has nothing to do with fancy meeting places. It is simply wherever His people are, with Him among them.

God bless you, Big Al, for your (God's) work! I am sure all they see is Jesus as you teach, encourage, and love on these people! May He receive a great harvest from the seed that is being sown in the lives of these few--after all, One Man changed the world with 12 followers who gave their all for Him! Blessings and Sonshine to you--we are praying for you!
