What Happened in 2009?
By KPIC Admin
This is what we remember.
We gave.
We continued our support for the world-famous African Children’s Choir through the Mirembe House and Mirembe Capital Campaign, to-date raising over $75,000. Stop Child Trafficking Now was birthed and broadcast in our midst. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised to help eradicate sexual slavery.
We grew.
The King’s Park average Sunday service grew 4%. Since their start in 2007, the Chinese and Hispanic congregations have been on the rise: the Chinese congregation is outgrowing their space in the World Prayer Center, and Celebracion Hispana attendance grew almost 50% in 2009, from around 60 to 100.
We went.
With missions to Jamaica, Taiwan, Uganda, New York City, Durham’s Cornwallis Community, the college campuses, our LIFE Groups, and Reality Youth, not only did we rack up on frequent flyer miles, we saw people say “yes” to following Jesus, the greatest miracle on earth.
We partied.
Celebrate the Nations, a Pentecost Sunday event, and our Re:Connect Friends and Family Reunion were added to our list of annual celebrations, including God Loves This City and Fiesta.
We built.
As much as we do, the aim is always to see lives changed for the Kingdom of God. And what a privilege it is to know we do that every day.
Thank you, King’s Park, for another great year.
