    Our mission, through prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and through a constant witness to the Truth of Jesus Christ, is to share the love of God with as many as we can, so that we will all be together in eternity at the awesome banquet of the Lamb of God.

    David's journey to the throne seemed to stop when he found himself in a cave hiding from King Saul's army. David had an opportunity to kill Saul. However, he handled it in a way that demonstrated both his godly character and leadership.

    We have followed the life of David from the time where he was a shepherd boy tending the flocks of his family to the battlefields of Israel. He has matured from a boy into a man, killing a giant, winning the heart of the nation, and developing into a man of God. He had reached the pinnacles of ...read more
