Dr. David Braynen, Sr.

Pastor,

Christ Temple Apostolic Ministries

All honour and glory is given to the Lord who is the head

of my life, my wife, First Lady Geisha Braynen who

continues to stand by my side, to the Officers and members of Christ Temple Apostolic Church who

continues to show confidence in my leadership, Elder

Beecham Braynen and the Christ Temple Community Church family, my family and friends, I greet all in the

mighty name of Jesus.

It is with great anticipation that I stand with my brother

Elder Beecham Braynen who has felt the call of the Lord to begin a work for Him in this my own home-town,

Behring Point, Andros. There are many souls that must

be rescued and souls that must be saved, and Christ

Temple Apostolic Ministries must be a part of this great move of the Lord.

This act of dedication and ground-breaking today is the

first evidence of our obedience to the voice of the Lord

and taking Him at His word for surely “Except the Lord

build the House, they labor in vain that built it.”

We extend congratulations to Elder Beecham & Sister

Antoinette on this bold move to go into uncharted

territories, but know where-ever God gives a vision – He

will make the provision!

May God’s Blessing be on you and your new church-family

as you walk forward in Faith.

Pastor,

“And He gave some, apostles, and some prophets,

And some, evangelists; and some pastors and teachers,

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,

For the edifying of the body of Christ:” - Ephesians 4vs 11-12

God has called me to the Kingdom to be an effective witness for Him in these latter days. I hereby solemnly

pledge to carry out the mandate of the Apostolic faith that

was once delivered to the Saints.

I further make a firm commitment to you my saints and friends to stand firm on the word of God; I promise to lift

high His Royal Banner and it shall not suffer loss!

My fervent oath is to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified

– and let this world know there is “One Lord, One faith,

One baptism!”

Thanks are extended to my brother Dr. David Braynen and

the Christ Temple Apostolic Ministries family, who

supported this vision in such a tremendous way. The task

will not be easy, but by the help of the Lord the vision shall come to pass. We admonish you to pray with us and

for us that the glory and power of the Lord will be

manifested in Behring Point, Andros.

On behalf of my wife, Sister Antoinette Braynen - also my children, we say thank-you to our family, friends, the

Andros Churches and Community, to those who have

travelled to be here on this special day, to all our well-

wishers – May God richly bless You!

Moderator……………..Evangelist Claudell Farrington

Opening Hymn………………...“To God Be The Glory”

To God be the glory, great things He hath done! So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He hath done!

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Invocation………………………Pastor Nathaniel Curtis

Scripture Reading…………….Ms. Annadell Thompson

Representative, Local Counsel

1 Kings 5:7-14 (King James Version) 7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees

according to all his desire. 11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. 12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.

13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.

Congregational Hymn………………..…“The Solid Rock”

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne.

THE ACT OF GROUND-BREAKING

Dr. David Braynen, Sr.

Pastor, Christ Temple Apostolic Ministries

Nassau, Bahamas

Please Stand:

Pastor: “Our hope is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”

1 Chronicles 29:10-18:

Pastor: “Blessed be Thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.”

Congregation: “Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as head above all.”

Pastor: “Both riches and honor come of Thee, and Thou reignest overall; and in Thine hand is power and might; and in Thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.”

Congregation: “Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee and praise Thy glorious name.”

Pastor: “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee.”

Congregation: “For we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days

7

on the earth are as shadow, and there is none abiding.”

Pastor: “O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build Thee an house for Thine holy name cometh of Thine hand, and is all Thine own.”

Congregation: “I know also, my God, that Thou triest the heart and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now I have seen with joy Thy people which are present here, to offer willingly unto Thee.”

“O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart unto Thee.”

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning is now; and ever shall be; world without end. Amen.

Pastor: In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we break this ground to erect Your house under the name of Christ Temple Community Church (CTCC), and devoted to the worship of Almighty God.

Closing Hymn …………………………..“Higher Ground”

I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I’m onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Tho’ some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
