Personal Evangelism Program
We are beginning a new program of personal evangelism. In it each person will be given instruction in the selection of prospective Christians with whom to enter a personal relationship, the establishment of a schedule of visits in which the prospect will be led to study the Bible as to the expectations of Christ as revealed in it, and the ways to lead them to a personal decision about their relationship to Christ. Details will be developed over the next month.
New Building Possibility
A building, located at 3600 N. US 1, in Melbourne is available for purchase. We believe we have enough money in our CDF savings account, from the sale of our former property in Viera, to make the purchase and do the necessary changes to make it acceptable for assembly purposes. The City of Melbourne has several rules for this and we have an architect designing the necessary changes and dealing with the various city agencies.Bible Quiz
