Thanksgiving

Due to technical problems there was no recording - sorry.  The message was brought by Ferdi on how much God loves us and how to grow in love. It is contrasted to religion as a man made form of worship. 
Ferdi told the story of dr. Mukwege from the Congo who received the Nobel Peace prize this week for his loving sacrificial work. 
Another testimony was from Samira who was born in a Muslim family in the Netherlands and she had an amazing journey getting to know Jesus without and church/religious color added to His image. You can watch her testimony here. 
​Lots of produce from the harvests were presented to pastor Dwayne and Georgina to thank them for their hard work and love thru the year.
