A
Word from Joel
As you've browsed this website, what are
your thoughts about going to church? Maybe you've never
considered it or have thought that it would be something you
would like to to in the future. Perhaps you have had a bad
experience and decided not to attend church service again or
you are angry with God for an incident that has affected
your life.
Whatever your thoughts, one thing is
absolutely certain and that is Jesus Christ loves you.
Going to church or being a Christian is
not about being perfect and living perfect lives. It is also
not about doing the right thing all the time. God is not
interested in whether we are a saint or a criminal, young or
old, male or female. The only thing that is important to God
is that you live a fulfilled life and achieve your God given
purpose and destiny through his son, Jesus Christ.
My wife, Jemis and I would like to
personally invite you to The Deliverance Centre so you can
hear what God has to say to you about the life He has
pre-destined you to have. Some of us face many challenges to
achieve your life's ambitions and goals, but I want to
encourage you to not give up hope, because there is
potential inside of you and with God all things are
possible!
The Deliverance Centre is a wonderful
place where people can worship God and is a warm, friendly
and caring environment.
I will be looking for you this week
however, if I don't see you, Jemis and I will certainly be
praying for you.
God Bless You!
Joel Thomas, Senior Pastor
