Members Hugh_Flower Posted December 29, 2020 Members Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) My church has had over 5 familes since the start of Covid Join our flock! We have had about 12 baptisms ( mine included ) and won the soul of a 72 year old man just a few months ago! My church has been growing, and it's such a blessing to see and be a part of!   Edited December 29, 2020 by Hugh_Flower Pastor Matt and Alan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheGloryLand Posted December 29, 2020 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2020 For someone that don't understand what Saved means, it means to be born again in Christ Spiritually. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We know what it is but my point is nobody is staying away from our church except when they are sick like they've always done without the goverment having to mandate healthy people staying away. And a little girl was saved two weeks ago which I highly doubt would have occured over Zoom. Edited December 29, 2020 by SureWord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SureWord Posted December 29, 2020 Members Share Posted December 29, 2020 I would like to add that one member has started bringing to "undocumented workers" to church. The one man needs one of our members to translate the sermon into Spanish for him. Let's pray they get saved. Again, doubtful this would take place on Zoom.

I was talking earlier about new visitors, that might not know what it is to be Saved. Remember not all that visitors are born again.

Members Alan Posted January 8, 2021 Members Share Posted January 8, 2021 Soul-winning as usual is going on at our former work (we handed the work over to a national pastor). In fact, tomorrow, Saturday, we are going on door-to-door visitation as usual. The church has had visitors as usual also.

Administrators Solution Popular Post Pastor Matt Posted January 8, 2021 Administrators Solution Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Quote Are people still getting Saved and Baptized at your church? Yes!! So much so that we had to purchase a baptism to accommodate our baptisms (We used to use another churches faculties). Our church is 5 years old, and we've seen more growth in 2020 than any previous year.  Just to be clear I'm bragging on God here SureWord, Alan, Jim_Alaska and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted January 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2021 That is a commendable report PastorMatt. New England is a difficult place to get an IFB church going. Pastor Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrotherTony Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm not sure if anyone has been saved lately in our church services or not. I know we had a few baptisms a few months back, and they were mainly youth baptisms. I'm not knocking that, but in the last five years I haven't heard of ANY adults being saved through our church or IN our church services. That worries me about the ministry of our church in a way. There is no active program to go out and reach people for Christ as there is in the IFB churches. We can do it individually, but there is no corporate program for it. I believe this is one reason why the Lord has had my wife and I looking into other churches the past year or so. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rebecca Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 Two separate missionaries in Taiwan (which is on soft lockdown now) have recently had people saved through their online services. One was a lady watching the online Sunday school service with her daughter and called the missionary to come to her house to explain salvation in detail and she was saved. The other was similar, watching the online service with her daughter and was saved. The gospel being preached is the main thing no matter if it's in person or online. Pastor Scott Markle, John Young and Pastor Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
