Alabaster Offering
Sunday, September 27th
Alabaster provides land for new district center in DRC
NCN News Friday, February 6, 2015 Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
In Democratic Republic of the Congo, Alabaster offerings have provided a long-awaited answer to prayer. In November, the donations were used to buy land for a future Nazarene district center in Lubumbashi on the South Katanga District.
"This involved many years of praying and waiting on the Lord to open the door for this wonderful site," said Chishibanji Célestin, the district superintendent and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries field coordinator.
Célestin praised God for the provision and thanked church members for their faithfulness in giving. "We believe that God is the controller of time and circumstances," he said.
The new center will be used for training, meetings, and assemblies. Until the new facility can be built, pastors are farming the land. They've planted sweet potatoes and soya beans, which will be ready to harvest in April and May.
"We thank all the leaders who are mobilizing the church members to give for the Alabaster funds in February and September," Célestin said. "You have blessed many communities and contributed to the salvation of many souls ... Praise be to God!"
We will be receiving our Alabaster Offering during both morning services on Sunday, September 27th. Designated chests will be placed at the Welcome Center in the South Foyer and Garden Foyer. You may place your gifts in either of the chests or drop them in the offering during morning worship. Please be sure to designate Alabaster Offering on your check or giving envelope.
