First Place | New Session

Posted on by Cindy
Orientation for the next First Place session will be held May 13th at 6pm.  Come and be introduced to the Christ-centered weight loss and healthy living program!
The cost for new members is $90 which pays for the member’s kit and Bible study.  This session’s Bible study will be ‘A Better Way’.  Our world is full of contradictions.  We have amazing technology that can make our lives easier, yet we are more stressed and busier than previous generations.  We live in a country with great wealth and resources, yet poverty and homelessness are constant.  Outer beauty is valued more than inner beauty.  And even though we know more about healthy living and have more resources to make healthy choices than ever before, overweight and obesity rates continue to rise.  There is A BETTER WAY and that way is JESUS.

Returning members’ cost is $20.

Call the church office at 337-824-3271 for more information.

Pastor Rammon

Posted on by Jeff Cook

Dear Church Family:

It was might great honor and privilege to visit pastor Rammon (pronounced like Ramen Noodles) while visiting India recently.  Pastor Rammon and his family are wonderful Christians who are serving the Lord on top of Yercaud Mountain.  Yercaud Mountain is a land mark for people who travel in India.  The Mountain is beautiful and the climate is always temperate.  There are many hotels and spas on top of the mountain, and people come from miles around to drive the 17 hairpin turns to the top of the mountain.  Along the route, monkeys greet you and will steal you camera if you stop and take a picture.  The mountain is filled with coffee farms, and many villages are tucked into the mountains, centered around the coffee business.  It is an idyllic scene.

 

However, Christianity is not very popular on Yercaud Mountain.  Pastor Rammon believes that God has given him a vision to reach 66 villages with the gospel.  These villages have a total population of 1.5 million people.  And the “wee little man” rides his motorcycle to these villages with the hopes of planting churches all over the mountain.  In one village, a family has been reached for Jesus.  Pastor Rammon holds weekly services in the man’s home.  The village leaders told the whole village not to speak this man’s family.  The man told me, “Jesus is enough for me” , (and then he laughed)

 

Please pray for Pastor Rammon and his family.  We will be getting emails from pastor Rammon and these will be published here.

 

Blessings,

Dr. j
