This was a significant moment for John . He comes from a wealthy family but at the age of 16 his mother left them and divorced their father . She left Lebanon and went to another country . This devastated John and he turned to drugs and alcohol and became very depressed . But after giving his life to Christ , attending church , home group and being discipled , John was transformed .
His character and countenance has changed drastically and he was set free from so many addictions . He continues to press on to be whole in other areas of his life . John is on fire for the Lord and shares his faith on a regular basis . He also brings many seekers to church . John is such a joy and a blessing . He is a real miracle of God .
RAMI AND TATIANA
Tatiana was introduced to Jesus by her mother-in-law while her husband Rami had fallen away from the faith . She was encouraged to attend our church by her mother-in-law . This couple are very sucessful in the professional world .
Due to Tatiana ’ s love for the Lord and commitment to church her husband Rami , who was attending with her , began to be impacted by the worship , the messages and the community . As a result , he committed his life to the Lord and began to grow .
Now he co-leads a Bible study while Tatiana has grown so fast in the Lord . She is a mighty evangelist who at one time brought 11 people from her work to our church ! Again , another couple who are so beautiful and contagious for Jesus .
What a privilege the Lord has given Joyce and I to see so many receive Christ , get transformed and live to make Christ known . Currently we continue to lead the church while we are in Australia due to COVID . We look forward to going back when we can to serve them further and equip them for the work of the ministry .
Ongoing Relationship
We are very thankful to everyone who is praying and supporting us in so many ways . Our prayer is that all who follow Jesus would live to know Christ and make Him known .
