Closing Thoughts.


               It doesn’t seem like this year                     become debt free. And all glory

        has gone by this fact that we are                         goes to God who provided for
        now in the Christmas season                               them.

        already. Yet other times, it seems                               We have seen the
        like almost impossible to see the                         manifestation of healings in

        end of this year.
                                                                  people throughout different
               There have been some                               church bodies as well as miracles

        exciting times in this year, some                         and financial blessing being

        tragedies, and we have lost many                          manifested in peoples personal
        of those close to us.                                     lives as well.


               Even though we had to see                                 All in all, we have seen God
        this year begin under the treat of                        moving throughout this past year

        a pandemic, and perhaps even                              in peoples lives and in the body of

        what some would describe as                               Christ and for all that He has
        government over-reach,                                    done we are grateful and give all

        especially in the area controlling                        glory and honor to Him.
        personal freedoms, school,                                       Along with His blessings, we

        business, and yes even the forced                         had to endure some bittersweet
        church closures.
                                                                  moments as well. We had

               Still with Gods mercy we not                       temporary say goodbye to
        only survived but have seen some                          different family members and

        exciting things happening during                          close friends much sooner than

        this time. From a local point of                          we want to and certainly sooner
        view, we were blessed with a new                          than anticipated. And the list of

        church facility, (debt free), which                       those we lost would not be
        opened doors to move forward                              complete without mentioning the

        with the vision God gave our                              loss of members of our
