|
|
1970's : the building is abandoned and left to rot... |
1980's : Some witches want to buy the building and turn it into a temple for their religion... |
1984: The Rev. Percy Nutall buys the building with his own money... |
|
|
|
|
|
1985-1988: The building is restored. A place of worship, A place in the community, A place to stay... |
1988: Percy dies, but the vision doesn't. Bob and Elva take on the work. They replant the church, and run the centre... |
1990's : The work is difficult.We see many blessings and face many hardships. But we know we are in God's hands... |
|
|
|
|
|
The vision, given to Bob, of a beacon on a hill, burning with the truth of the gospel still continues... |
Today: We still have this vision: To proclaim the truth of Jesus and His Word to our area... |
Today: We are still here! We are not perfect, We are not giving up, We are trusting... |
|
|
|
|
|
Today: Without workers, prayer and support, our church faces a limited and uncertain future ... |
But we have a God who promises in His Word that: “My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4 v 19 |
