“The growth of the ministry
has blessed me, the opportunity and career fair, going into
the fourth year, the second year of food distribution of
food and the launch of an STNA career development ministry
has truly encouraged me to fight faithfully onward in
enriching and empowering of the body of Christ. God is
continually adding to the church weekly through Candidates
for Baptism and Christian Experience.”
An annual Vacation Bible
School, the purchase of a new van and new kitchen appliances
and collaborations with community partners have also been
implemented at the church during the three years of Graham’s
leadership.
