Brother Steve is 6th from the left standing at the back row.His wife Sophia sits in front of him.
Seth and Sarah, their children, are in the front row.
He said these in his sharing:
· For those of us who have been to or are familiar with what's happening in other churches, we would be aware that this church is different - different in terms of the preaching and form of worship … different in terms of what is done.
· What is done in this church is quite uncommon when we consider the changes, inventions, compromise, etc. around us ... and the departure from Scriptures among many Christians and churches.
· In view of such things, we thank God for providing this church with a pastor who seeks and holds on to Biblical truths … and who has neither adopted nor taken a soft stance on un-Scriptural practices or contemporary worship … to put it simply, a pastor who has chosen the old paths (which is the good way)
· We are also thankful that we have a pastor who'll only teach and preach the Word and from the Word, week after week ... a pastor who'll not make Scriptures more palatable to the hearers, who'll not entice or seduce or flatter the hearers … a pastor who’ll not handle the Scriptures carelessly
· When we think of the past many years that pastor has ministered to this church, we will appreciate the work and energy that had to be put in to ensure that the little flock here is well tended to.
· Lastly, when I first corresponded with pastor in 2006, one thing I noticed is that the KJB is the translation that pastor uses. [Incidentally, the KJB is 400 years old this year]. It was indeed heartening for me then … just as it is now, that pastor preaches from this faithful translation.
· May God continue to bless pastor and his family and may pastor soldier on in his preaching for many more years to come

Brother Steve and family's presence with us give us great joy and encouragement.
