Frist, let me say that I have been trying to write this letter for a long time, but without success. Life in New Jersey is very fast-paced. The ministry is very demanding and has so many needs that it is very hard to determine where to start. The need is really great, the people are thirsty for the word and for a new dimension in their walk with the Lord. They have dedicated so much of their time, talent, and energy to the ministry. We continue to pray that God will bless us abundantly. The work is very exhausting, but yet very fulfilling. Seeing people commit their lives to Christ and join the church provides a joy that cannot be described; the Lord is doing great work in our midst... I think about you continually...Thanks for having endowed me with a church I still call my home church; thanks for the wonderful memories, the beautiful smiles, and the care. God’s blessing be upon you as you do His work and walk in His ways. 10.26.14 Bevvie Neel Ashley Schell Sincerely, Rene Jeanty Church Staff *Please note that for the sake of space, this letter has been edited.
