What a joy-filled and Spirit-led experience we had at the Pentecost 2025 “Countdown to the End” Evangelistic Series with Pastor Dwayne Campbell! Throughout this powerful campaign, more than 3,000 people were reached — through in-person attendance, online viewing, and community outreach. But most importantly, one precious soul sealed their life for salvation through baptism. Truly, “there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10).
Prayers were answered and miracles were seen throughout the week. Hearts were touched, lives were changed, and hope was restored in many who came seeking. Together, we also celebrated with Pastor Campbell and his family the joyful arrival of their second bundle of joy, a special blessing during this season of new life and new beginnings.
Each Sabbath, guests and church members came together to worship and fellowship, with a delicious lunch provided for all — creating a welcoming space for community and connection.
Each night of the series was filled with special features and inspiring guests. We were blessed with testimonies on the power of prayer, practical counsel on family budgeting and financial stewardship, encouragement on the important role fathers play in the family, and powerful reminders of the need to be ready for our Lord’s soon return.
One of the highlights of the series was the dedication of our new Baby Café. Through prayer and dedication, Pastor Dwayne Campbell, joined by church leaders and community partners, blessed this ministry that will offer breastfeeding continuity of care and vital support to mothers, babies, and families — both in our church and in the community.
As the series came to a close, we celebrated with a joyful evening of music, featuring the beautiful voices of The Foster Triplets. Their spirit-filled performance lifted every heart and brought a fitting close to this remarkable series.
Even as the “Countdown to the End” officially concludes, the work continues. We are actively working with others who are now making decisions to follow Christ and surrender their lives to Him. We praise God for what He has done — and what He will continue to do through each person touched during this season.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to sharing the Good News, serving our community, and preparing together for His soon coming.
