Service was awesome this past Sunday. I still can't get over being together with my brothers and sisters in church on 2nd Ave in NYC. I'm sure it will all wear off soon and all that will be left in ministry will be my love for God, His love for me and the people, prayer and the Word, but until then... I'll be awed by my surroundings.
Pastor Denny Berger, who has a heart for the people of the Middle East came and shared with us. Wow! It's strengthening to hear of what our brothers and sisters are willing to suffer for in the name of Jesus around the world. They're certainly out doing us!?
Anyhow, he shared how there in NYC we have the people of the world right at the door step of our church. How amazing it is that God has lead Rachel and I there. We are so humbled.
Here is a link to one of the you tube videos he refered us to check out during his message. I'll include the info for the other vids if you want to check them out later.

He shared how in the Islamic faith in the Middle East they have a saying, 'First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday' referring to first they'll kill the people who worship on Saturday, then the people who worship on Sunday... Wow! What a peaceful religion.
If you really want to be shocked, he gave us a site that Saudia Arabia puts out so when Arabs come to the states they can just punch in their new zip code and find all the places and establishments and mosques they can go to so they do not have to assimilate into American culture.
Check this out. Go to islamicfinder.org and put in Calvary Chapel Manhattan North's address
Calvary Chapel Manhattan North
2125 Second Avenue
New York, NY 10029
Check out how many mosques and Islamic centers there are right around the church.
Pray for us that God would give us a heart to reach the Arab people right there in East Harlem.
May God's grace, peace and love be with you today.
