About My Father’s Business Outreach Ministries (a Grace Brethren Church)

Our fellow Grace Brethren church family from Penn Valley in PA, came down on Saturday (8/18) and spent the night to join us for worship service. While here, they allowed God to use them tremendously by helping us in outreach and ministry.

Amongst many other deeds, they assisted us in our “Community Day”! Cars lined up to get their free car washings…

Painting within the church; our nursery and child classroom never looked better or brighter…

Re-tiling the bathroom floors…

Cleaning the parking-lot…

Helping to organize and giving out school supplies (courtesy of Grace Brethren Northwest Chapel of Ohio)…

Feeding the homeless at the shelter and more! With Penn Valley’s help, we were able to wash over thirty cars and gave out about 100 hot-dogs, all for free!

We praise God for their unselfish spirits and their presence here and truly look forward to seeing each and every one of them soon.

This week has been a true blessing. Our Sunday service was phenomenal. Our Tuesday night Men’s Shelter Ministry continues to inspire and give hope. Our Wednesday night Bible Study class continues in the Gospel Transformation series. This week, we learned that redemption brings us into a new community of believers and the importance of fellowship via church attendance. Our choir “Behind The Cross” continues to grow as a unit by practicing every Thursday evening. God is doing some wonderful things here at AMFB. Stay tuned for more information and updates on blessed events.

God bless and keep you all.

Sunday’s sermon text came from the book of Joshua:14-24.  We are witnesses against ourselves.  We are to be committed to God in all circumstances…not just when it’s easy.  Although nothing pleases the devil more than for us to break God’s heart, the devil doesn’t make us sin.  Our own flesh is to blame.  We make our own choice(s) to sin.  Complete consecration embodies 3 things:  1) Being  2) Doing  and 3) Enduring.  Following God’s callings will ensure our service and commitment to our Lord and Saviour.  These include a call to decide, of determination, of proper decision making, and of declaration.  When will we understand that we do not function in our own strength?  We have to stop putting ourselves on a pdestal as though we idolize ourselves. We must continually ask God for His guidance of our decisions to better serve Him in every element of our lives.

Bible Study this evening was thought provoking and wonderful as it continues to be weekly.  You don’t want to miss out on these Gospel Transformation series of teachings.  Lives are changing through this ministry and yours can too.  We’d love to see you there next week!

Saturday the 18th is almost here!!  Penn Valley Grace brethren Church (PA) is coming down to team up with us in a “Gospel Car Wash”!  Come join us as we wash cars, eat hot dogs, and feed the homeless; while also making the surrounding neighborhood(s) aware that we (AMFB) exist right here in the heart of N.E., D.C.  Not only will it be a blessing…it’ll be fun!!

Also, make sure to periodically check all albums for periodic updates.  We have quite a plethera of images to share! 

Thank you Lord for continuing to love us more than we love ourselves.  We praise you God for continuing to bless us individually and collectively.  You are a constant hedge of protection surrounding us and we ask that you give us the wisdom to be strong enough to live pleasing to your sight.

It’s been about a week.  Pastor and Mrs. Joyce, along with Minister Eric and Mrs. Jones have been out of town…from Ohio to Indiana.  The purpose of their trip has been a multi-faceted blessing, filled with seminars and classes used to help them within their position(s) of church ministries and leadership. 

We are anxious to hear all about their experience and how what they learned will be applied within the context of About My Father’s Business Outreach Ministries…to God be the glory!!!  Pray for their safe return tomorrow.  We look forward to having them back for our 1st Sunday service.
