Jim and Dulci Doty, missionaries to Luanda, Angola, report that, “The Church of God in Angola is in the process of finalizing the documentation for registration of the church in Angola. It has been a difficult road but we are optimistic that registration can be obtained in the next few weeks.  We need to provide identification of all the members such as ID Cards, Birth Certificates, or Drivers Licenses and have them authenticated by a notary. We will process several thousand identification documents in the next week or so to be able to present them to the Ministry of Justice for registration of the church.

Of course there is some expense for the church to process the IDs with a notary which we expect to be about $700 to $1000 usd to complete the authentication which is actually a discount over the actual cost.  We appreciate your prayers and support.”

If you would like to help with the expenses for this important step for the church in Angola, you may contact:

But those who came before us will teach you. They will teach you the wisdom of old. - Job 8:10

The Community Bible Fellowship Outdoor Worship Center is a special place.  There, we are surrounded not just by limestone and bricks, walls and gates, but by the sweet memories of loved ones and old friends whose engraved names represent them there.  They are a “great cloud of witnesses” who prayed the foundation of our fellowship into existence. It is their faithfulness that surrounds us and, by their example, that we will walk through the gates of Heaven.

Many of those we remember in the Outdoor Worship Center have gone on before us and are leading the way. Others still take us by the hand and teach us if we will listen. We honor them the most by learning from the love they shared for others, for our fellowship, and for the work of God.  Give to your local church in honor, and in the spirit of that love.
