It was a day of great excitement.
The groundbreaking for the new Healing Place Church and Mercy Center for orphans in Mozambique was a major neighorhood event.
Monday this week Pastor Mark Stermer, Lee Domingue, and Joe Martin from Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge were with us for this event.
One count had the crowd at over 650 people--all anxious for the church to be built. It is the only evangelical church for the 7,000 people in the resettlement neighorhood which is expected to grow to 10,000 people--all needing Jesus.
Jackolyn--the lady whom God healed of a black mamba snake bite while she was helping clear the land for the church--helped do the cooking for the celeration. Her face beamed as she told again of how God--the very God that the people can meet in this church--healed her after the doctors said she would surely die.
What a way to launch a church!
