On Tuesday, April 11th, the Church of Jesus hosted our first Praise Night at the Manhattan Mission Center (MMC) in New York City. The event started with fellowship and refreshments to welcome the 49 guests. The night was followed by a powerful praise session where many were touched by songs such as "What a Beautiful Name It Is," "I Speak Jesus," and "How Great is Our God." Pastor Jo shared the essence of the Gospel with us. She explained how man became a living being (Gen 2:7), how sin brought death to all people (Rom 5:12), who Jesus is (John 1:1, 14), and how we can be forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ (Eph 1:7). The preaching concluded with the hope that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2:21).
Our church was humbled that the Lord had given us the chance to share the Gospel with these new souls and had shown His grace and mercy through the praise and the Word. Hallelujah!
