On December 22, 1976, this Word of Prophecy came forth: “I have likened you to a tree that is in bud and about to blossom. And when you do blossom, the fragrance from the tree shall draw many.

From the nine people who gathered on that Sunday morning in may 1972, it is exhilarating to watch this prophecy unfold before our very eyes. Just as the Holy Spirit spoke, thus has God performed his promise. I enjoy watching the families of this congregation pour through the doors on Sunday morning. Equally satisfying is the dynamic praise and prayer that pours forth from the hearts of the worshipers. “God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.."

From the main auditorium each Sunday, children and youth stream to various departments to learn under the pedagogy of Spirit-filled and Spirit inspired teachers. From this seedbed of learning, youth have been sent into various parts of the world for evangelism and ministry.

God has always challenged us to do those tasks which were beyond our own abilities and talents. The Apostle Paul experienced that same challenge and wrote these words: II Corinthians 3:5 “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything of ourselves: but our sufficiency is in God..”

What you see at Christ Tabernacle is not the result of man’s abilities, but the work of the Holy Ghost. Hopefully we are producing something more than buildings. Souls are eternal and will live forever somewhere. That’s sobering. It is our goal to make men, women, children and youth fit for that eternal kingdom and produce productive citizens while on the earthly sojourn.
