The Story of The King's Castle Church

Looking unto Jesus Christ at 3 …

With much gratitude to God, I wish to share the joy of knowing Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. And also to showcase His glory and God’s faithfulness in doing what He had promised He would do. Like the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ in the times of the Bible and even up to now, the work of ministry is what can be aptly titled “The doing of the Lord, and it is marvellous in our eyes”. (Psalms 118:23) The story of The King 's Castle Church is not different either. God has really blessed us. I say thank you to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit! Hallelujah!!! The Lord has done marvellous things for us since we turned 2 last year. We have experienced the blessing of the Lord:

• Spiritual development of the congregation
• Salvation of souls
• A vibrant Church with anointed WORD and worship at every service
• Blessing of the Lord on our congregants, viz, new marriages, material wealth, fruits of the womb, academic success etc.
• Miraculous healing of some individuals
• Growth of our Newcastle Church and our branch in Sunderland
• A new prayer fellowship was started in Gateshead in 2006
• 11 House Groups were established in various locations in and around Newcastle
• Our Women Fellowship organised more conferences with a resultant impact
• Our open air Crusades and Outreaches took a higher dimension with greater impacts in Newcastle, Sunderland and around

Like the theologians say, the last chapter of the book of the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible has no Amen at the end of it, like most New Testament books of the Bible. This implies that the work of the ministry of Jesus Christ, which the Acts of the Apostles was written about, has not finished nor has it ended. The apostles and Church leaders of old had passed the baton on to the newer generations to continue the work of spreading the Gospel and doing the works of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit leads us.

The challenge ahead …

Like Joseph, God’s hand is upon us to use us for His signs and wonders in this place and in the land we do not know before whose language we don’t understand. Psalms 81:5 “This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.” We have received fresh impetus to go and achieve more for God this year and years after. We believe God to strengthen us all so that we can pray better, preach better, worship better, evangelise better and enjoy God’s blessing.

The work ahead requires a lot of prayers from all our members, supporters and partners alike as we seek to fulfil our part of the Great Commission “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). We believe firmly that the Gospel is for all people and we have to preach to them so that they can be saved. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Our burden and our assignments are important, and we have to embark immediately on our mission for the cause is priceless, worthy and urgent. He also said in Acts 28:28 “Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it”. For them to hear the Gospel, we have to go and deliver the message. We wish therefore to enlist your prayers, support, offerings, friendship and advice as we proceed to do the bidding of our Master Jesus Christ.

Our motto: “…making Jesus Christ known and Him alone”.

Happy anniversary to you all.

Remain blessed.
