Emoji FROM NEWPORT

Our Valentines for Jesus banquet was a great success – this year we did a Saturday night banquet featuring  a spaghetti dinner.  It was also the beginning of our revival. Our evangelist, Rev. Robert Dabyadeen, gave us his testimony – being saved at the age of 19 with missionaries, Reverend and Mrs. Browning in Guyana. It was a great evening for all!  

(From Teresa Hodge:   “It’s great  to see this photo of Rev. Dabydeen.  I met him when I lived in with the Brownings in Guyana when I served in Guyana with Student Mission Corps as Trevecca student.”)

Since we were raising funds for Sweet Surrender Coffee House, turned Ukrainian Refugee Center, our children sold coffee and coffee treats  before church, in the foyer where Nazarene Missions is featured.  So far, they’ve raised over $200.
