CHRIST JUBILEE

"LAUNCHING OUT INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH"
(LUKE 5:4)
It is the TIME to take some Spiritual Risks for the sake of Spiritual conquest. Christ bought your liberty more than two thousand years ago. His blood cancelled every ordinance of the enemy against your life. You are now bound for the pinnacle of success. "...Only be thou strong and of a good courage" and God says He will make you to inherit the land He has already given you. In 2012 and beyond, may the prophecy of God for your life manifest it self brighter than your enemies can behold. Maranatha.

ISSUES

Immigrants, especially African immigrants and refugees face a number of barriers that prevent them from meeting their need for self-sufficiency, health care and education. The lack of basic employment skills, coupled with the lack of knowledge of the U.

PLAN OF ACTION

Establish a repository of knowledge, skills and expertise already available in the church and harness them to provide support services to God's people and minister to the total being; Where necessary, refer immigrants and refugees to area health and other human service agencies where they can find the help they need.
