World Missions Month Guest Speakers Tom & Jean McMahon

March 7Th, kicked off World Missions Month, we invited Tom & Jean McMahon who recently transferred their membership to Pelham to speak to us on their 14 years missionary work in Japan. They were both dressed in the local garments for the area, and had brought along many items to show us of their time there. They spoke of their fears of the unknown but of the strength the Lord gave them to continue. You could see and feel from their stories the love they had for the people they ministered. They spoke of the hardships, where would the food they needed come from and how would they be able to reach a country with very few believers in Christ. Bro. Tom would go back tomorrow if he felt the Lord was asking him. This couple has lead a interesting and sometimes difficult life in service for the Lord, but I came away feeling that they had been truly blessed in their sacriface for the Lord. We are so blessed to have them in our congregation now. Bro Tom was made Men's Ministries Leader and Sister Jean was made Ladies Ministries Leader.

Revival

Pelham experienced a mighty move of God this past weekend (Feb. 26-28) in revival. Bishop H. E. Cardin was with us and his anointed preaching was such a blessing. Souls were saved and blessings received by many.

I Love You Jesus Banquet

On Feb 14th, We held our I Love you Jesus Banquet at Richard's Barbecue. Bro. Tim Beck was our guest speaker for this event, and as usual he did not let us down. He spoke of our Savior's love for us but also about out love for our spouse. We had a wonderful turnout of 42 people, we played games and award prizes. The fellowship really was a blessing to all. Bro. Wayne & Sister Becky Chance shared with all of us the way they had met and how God held their marriage of over 30 years together. They spoke of loving each other through all the good and hard times. That without God in their marriage and them serving the Lord each and everyday they would not of endured. They are a wonderful example to our youth and newly married couples.
