Celebrating with praise and thanksgiving 20 years since the Saint Etienne church began in an older part of our city with much resistance to the Gospel. This church struggled even before it got off the ground. At times it seemed the best thing to do was close it down and invest elsewhere. But the Lord moved some strong believers into the neighborhood and others were added through continued canvassing in the neighborhood and now today it is thriving with two choirs, Compassion center for children, active women's group, and lots of youth. They are working to plant a daughter church and last year acquired a field that they farm with the proceeds going to the church planting and outreach efforts. I guess a Happy Birthday sign is totally called for!
