Inauguration Service at Agape Community Church Office at 115 College Street

Capture1
On Dec 22, Inauguration Service took place in Burlington Agape Community Church Office for the new found location, 3rd Floor, 115 College Street, Burlington.

The text of the message is from Ephesians 4:17-24 and the title is "to put off your old self and to put on the new self". Paul says "to put off your old self". It's the metaphor of garments. It is like the garments that we can put off. Because of the work of Christ, our old self died, we just need to put off that. Our life and our ministry will be renewed.

"It's a new space, and it's almost new year. However, more important than that is the word of God renews me and God gives me another beginning", the minister says, "I believe the mission will develop if I continually welcome the work of Spirit here."

All who are interested in studying the Bible are welcome!

ny-christmas-retreat ny-christmas-retreat-2

From December 6th to December 8th, Minister John went to NYC to attend the NYC Christmas Retreat hosted by Immanuel Bronx, which was a refreshing experience.

40 Ministers and Bible students from Immanuel Bronx, Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven, Burlington, Manchester and Jersey City and more joined the retreat. The theme was “The Birth of Jesus” and students were given the opportunity to study messages answering where, why, when and how Jesus came to this earth. Each message was prepared and delivered with lots of love and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The retreat featured several activities including an open-mic night, a gift-exchange, testimony time, prayer meeting and lots of opportunities to break-bread and converse.

The minister himself testified, “Even as Christians, we don’t think about why and how Jesus as Son of God came to the world. You can see the Gospel, the power of salvation when you look at his incarnation.”

Christmas Retreat in Burlington Agape Community Church will be planned around Christmas. All are welcome!

Reaching People in Different Ways in Evangelism

Agape Community Church is trying to reach people in different ways, which is making the evangelism more active and effective.

What impressed the minister is that it’s not easy to see people except in universities and in downtown, which makes the evangelism being limited. But now he found more ways to reach people.

Table in the Street and Universities

Agape Community Church has applied showing materials and doing evangelism by reserving a table in the main street of downtown once. Signs and flyers are being prepared for another one tomorrow. We will try to reserve table in the campus to do evangelism, too.

Flyers with Short Messages

The minister is making short messages to hand them out in evangelism, so people can read them even they have rejected the offer of Bible studies.

Posters

Posters are being made to be posted in the street and universities, which will inform more people.

Local gatherings

Residents here have many gatherings for different kind of people. We are following the events from local newspapers and are doing evangelism at the places where people gather.

Bible Study Programs

Bible Studies on Romans are being held in different places at fixed time, praying that people who are interested will come.

An Office in Downtown

We are praying for and looking for an office in downtown, and it will make the bible studies more convenient for people around.

We invite your prayers for the mission here – the minister can preach the good news of salvation and people here can seek and accept the salvation from God.
