Sweet Fellowship...

On Sunday, September 9 we visited with Hour of Power viewer Jean-Bosco Havyarimana, who hosts a weekly fellowship in his home.



Each week the members of this House of Power gather to watch the Hour of Power, share the Word of God, give personal testimonies of how God is working in their lives and praise the Lord with song.











Each member of this weekly fellowship was excited to be received into formal Church Membership of the Crystal Cathedral Ministries.



Following are several photos of these new members receiving their certificates. As you can see they are 'all smiles'.

This little boy was with his brother and sister (you can see them in the background)

As this young man introduced himself, he proudly announced that he and/or one of his brothers might just grow up to be a preacher some day!

He shared with the group a praise report that he had been so sick he could not even walk. But he prayed to be well enough this day to be able to attend this special fellowship time!

This boy is a 'total orphan' which means that both of his parents have passed on. He shared that he is taken care of by an orphan agency which makes sure that he is transported to church each Sunday.

All of these members are refugees from Rwanda, Burundi or Congo. They all live quite far from Jean's home and sacrifice each week to pay transportation costs to attend.

Here is 'madam' - that is the lady of the house. Can you tell that Jean is happy for her?

and here is Jean's son, who is 16 years old. I am encouraged about the passion I saw in the young people in attendance at this Sunday fellowship.

Jean is very excited about teaching the Heidelberg Catechism to his 'flock' with the aid of Dr. Beverely Muffin as viewed on the DVD. In fact he had the tape running as we arrived at his home! It was so great for me to see that familiar face!

After tea was served, we praised the Lord together in song and then gathered outside for a photo of the whole group.
