We established on Tuesday the nature of the church yesterday and demonstrated the ownership of the church by Jesus Christ alone. Notably, the church is not owned by any man or organization.

Christians from far and near were together for a single purpose and that was to praise God and glorify his name. Thomas George, the preacher at Lethem/St. Ignatius church of Christ and the [...]
