Starke Sends Out New Workers

We were launched out of the Chandler 2000 conference from Jacksonville, Florida (Pastor Ron Meyer) in to this great city of 6,200 precious souls. It is truly a privilege to advance God’s Kingdom in this exciting time.

With the church growing every service, (we have regular attendence of 75-80) with new converts and old converts getting out and making disciples, it has been a very fruitful time for us.

Since our last posting many things have happened in the Kingdom. The church growth was caused by an agreement to not lower our standards for the world, which has brought about many saints making great deenix Christian Fellowship church cisions for the Lord. We as a church body went on record and made a covenant (as our leadership has) not to have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, as we have seen this type of social media turn many hearts away from the Lord.

We also began bi-weekly street preaching on the busiest corner in the city, and we’ve seen the saints strengthened by the word of their testimony. We have had a fruitful time in our music scene, with average attendance in the 90s. Halloween 2015 saw 55 souls saved through the play “The Appointment.” Many are coming to church and getting locked in to the local church body.

We have been very busy in helping the Fellowship advance its call to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” by sending our pastor on a few overseas mission trips to deliver God’s message of Resurrection Power. Our pastor just returned from Guangzhou, China where he preached two revivals, one for Gary Monnens in Panyu, and another for Hoyt Hutchinson in Foshan, both suburbs of Guangzhou. Both revivals were very fruitful with 35 souls added to the kingdom and 11 filled with the Holy Ghost. Pastor Baker layed a solid foundation for both churches to build upon.

We have also been busy sending out concert teams and car loads of saints to the surrounding churches in Florida, and elsewhere to co-labor in the harvest. With door to door wittnessing, concerts, and street preaching in St. Augustine, Tallahassee, Pensacola, and Castleberry, Florida to mention a few.

After bootcamp in June at Jacksonville, NC, the 26 teenagers and the chaperones traveled to Havelock, NC to take part in the first teen explosion weekend. With the youth leading the music scene and our Pastor preaching both services on sunday, the saints were stirred to get closer to God for the sake of the next generation. The saints truly have a vision to see the world won for Jesus Christ. God really has been in our midst with signs and wonders, and many healings in our regular services, as we pray for the sick.

As I bring this letter to a close, we would have you to pray for our pastor, as we’re working to bring him on to be full time, and launch our second work into Gainsville, Fl.

We have several revivals on the horizon and we are asking God to take us to the next level through Him. We thank God for the example our leaders have given us to model after. Pray for us as we pray for all of you. We are part of the greatest movement on the planet!
