In 2016, we witnessed the hunger and thirst for God’s word from both visitors and members. The opportunities for us to<br />

reach and teach those in the Brooklyn community, was greatly supported by the team members who availed themselves<br />

to God’s service.<br />

Our first meeting on April 27, was hosted by Sis. Roxanne Fanfair. Our Pastor, Rev. Sammy Stewart attended our meeting<br />

and worshipped with us. Our meetings were successfully held every last Monday in each month and during the summer<br />

some members went to the local train station to do flyer and track distribution.<br />

Home Bible studies and prayers were held and we had many visitors. In December, at our final meeting, each one bringing<br />

a cooked dish to celebrate the year-end occasion, we had three visitors with us; Sis. Roxanne’s daughter and her fiancé,<br />

and a discharged Marine, Justin Barrows.<br />

In closing, we thank the saints for giving their time, giving their resources, opening their home, and showing support for<br />

this Ministry. I commend you for your great service to the Kingdom. We truly thank the Lord for his goodness and mercies,<br />

and we are praying that 2017 will be greater in Jesus Name.<br />
