ALL FOR JESUS’ SAKE!

An Inner City work doesn’t have the finances of most Churches because many of the members have low income jobs. We have come a long way on our own but now we could use your help.

Our people are committed to give sacrificially by Faith. I as the Pastor have never asked for financial assistance and

have worked a full time secular job for the first ten years to start this work, but now I am asking for the brethren’s help to make this possible.

I realize that many of you have your own financial burdens and responsibilities, but if we all do something we can help each other do great things for our Lord Jesus Christ.

I as well as our Church would be greatly indebted to you for your gift of love and will not forget your sacrifice.
