Hope Takes to the Streets of Killeen — Fall 2018

We’ve had the privilege to be recipity hotel, which allowed church to and offered free breakfasts! ents of the ministry of some fine men of God. In May we had a marriage retreat/ revival with Mark Woods from Australia. It was our largest retreat yet with more than 80 couples in attendance as Pastor Woods brought encouragement and direction to our couples and to the church in those revival meetings.

In June we were honored to have Paul Stephens who is a real friend to the Killeen Church. He always challenges to go beyond what we thing we can accomplish in Christ and to submit to completely to Christ’s will for our church and lives.

In June we saw Steve Gabriel from the UK come to minister for the first time in Killeen. Pastor Gabriel ministered in music and labored in the Word! He delivered a word from God for our people which has become a motto of sorts for the rest of our year. Eyes have not seen nor ears have heard! We are seeing this unfold right now. There are a fresh wave of visitors and people locking into the church as we speak.

This summer we saw disciples move in faith to do street evangelism. Movies in parks and homes, street preaching, concerts in neighborhoods and driveways the young men of the church have a vision to see people won to Christ. Please keep them in your prayers.

Leading up to Chandler Bible Conference in August, we began to experience a spiritual shift in our services. This started earlier in the year after a couple of messages were preached about contending for the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit and another sermon regarding desiring the gifts of the Spirit. We began to see the Holy Ghost fall upon new people and they began to exercise spiritual gifts such as prophesy and interpretation. As Pastor Rosario and the staff preached, God begin to visit us with an undeniable sovereign presence during our worship services.

In August conference, Pastor Rosario took the inspiration from the word delivered to the church by Pastor Gabriel and preached a sermon titled “The Grand Finale,” in which he encouraged the conference body that the best is yet to come. As he ministered you could feel encouragement but expectancy at the same time. God is preparing the faith of his people to believe Him for greater.

As we write this we are coming out of a family reunion with Pastor Stacey Dillard from Chula Vista, CA. It is always a reunion as there is a special bond between us which we are thankful for. We ask that you pray for our baby churches! There are a number of them who need buildings to accommodate all that God is doing among them. Please keep us in your prayers.
