(19) We have watched an incredible conversion of a young man. He gave his life to the Lord Jesus, got delivered from a few demons, and got baptized in the Hudson river at 8:45pm November 30th 2009. He is learning the Word of God now and getting ready for his ministry. Keep our dearly loved broter Allen in your prayers.

(18) We had an honor to witness how one young sister in her late twenties recommitted her life to Jesus by repenting and receiving a healing touch from the Holy Spirit. This happened while we were worshiping the Lord during our last monthly all night worship on Friday 9/25/09. She was coming back home from a bar with two of her friends. They decided to come in and see what was happening inside of 184 Central Ave. When they entered they met somebody they probably did not expect to meet. Jesus was waiting on them He knew she was coming. I wish to see those moments more often. It was a lot of joy. God is gooood!

(17) The Lord called us to produce two thirty minute shows that will air this Sunday 9/20/09 at 9:30pm as well at the following Wednesday 9/23/09 at 7:30pm on channel 16 cable access TV. The same shows will be aired by Time Warner Cable, which will reach potentially hundreds of thousands of people in the Albany county region. Stay tuned for the details. We feel like God wants us to get familiar with this new adventure and keep using it for His glory.

(16) Jesus is so good to us. We have people coming in daily and He is faithful to respond and bless each one of them according to His will. Even though we stay busy doing God’s work we still consider this time to be a training and preparation for something greater. 8/24/09

(15) God provided us with an opportunity to attend Elizier Crusade in South Dakota last weekend May 9 & 10, 2009. We were also honored with a privilege of sharing the word of God there. Everybody got touched, renewed, revived, challenge and blessed in one way or another. God is doing so much everywhere you go. I personally feel like repeating after David: “I saw the Lord always before me…” Let’s keep our eyes open and never miss any of His moves.

(14) This Sunday 05/03/09 we had a brother from Burundi Africa preach a message. His name is Prudence Munyakuri. Brother Olivie who is from Democratic republic of Congo served as an interpretor. The message was a warning against pagan lifestyle and encouragement to keep loving Jesus. The key scripture of the sermon: 1Peter 4:1-10. We were extremely glad to have them come and fellowship with us. God is always faithful to send a right person at the right time to get His his will done.

(13) This Saturday, April 26th I was blessed with the honor of leading one soul to the Lord. I realized ones again that watching somebody get saved is the most satisfying occurrence. This experience provided me with another opportunity to rejoice together with the angels of God in heaven. Let’s keep being obedient to the Lord and see more of that happening.

(12) Last Sunday 4/19/09 we had a brother from Florida come and preach the word of God to us. His name is Gordon. We met him the day before on Saturday 4/18/09. I have not met anybody like him yet. The Lord challenged me through this brother. I want to love God as brother Gordon does. I want to be as bold and humble as he is. We were blessed and grateful to God for a visit like that. It’s amazing how Jesus works. Gordon did not necessary know why he came to the Capital of New York but he felt let by the Spirit of the Living God to do so. As he was walking through the unfamiliar streets of the City he happened to find himself in front of the Eternity Church at the time when we just got there on that Saturday afternoon. We connected with one another in the spirit and got to work right away by coming back to the streets with the Good News of the Gospel. You never know what to expect when walking with the Lord. He will surprise you with the wildest blessing beyond your imagination. That’s why I am crazy about Jesus.

(11) April 6th 2009 we celebrated Ivan’s birthday at the church. There was about forty people that showed up for the party. We had representatives of various ages, cultures, languages and beliefs. It was a good time to get to know one another and thank God for the gift of life.

(10) This Sunday (3/29/09) three of my close friends and I went to visit two churches in Massachusetts. Bethesda and Full Gospel Church Of Westfield are their names. I was honored with an opportunity to share from the word of God and to encourage youth in the area of evangelism. I got to meet some of my old friends that attend those churches now. I also met a lot of good people that love God as much as I do or more. God caused those believers to want to help Eternity Church with an offering of 1114$ all together. On top of that we had a revival going on in the car as we were riding. While we were gone the Lord used brother Ben Shaw to lead Sunday morning service at the Eternity Church. We absolutely loved every minute of what happened last Sunday. Only our Lord Jesus is able to make things like that occur.

(9) We sense that God is calling us to start another outreach location in the city of Troy, which shall turn into a new local body of believer. This is a very important decision in the Kingdom of our Lord. Please help us pray for more clarity, more laborers and more love. See if Jesus would have you be part of what He is doing through us in one way or another.
Matthew 9:37,38 “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of harvest, therefore, to send out workers unto his harvest field.”

(8) Lately the Lord was leading us to get to know other ministries and their leaders in the city of Albany. We understand that it takes unity and cooperation in the body of Christ to create a platform for our God to act mightily. It’s been a tremendous blessing to find out that the Lord had been working with numerous groups of believers preparing them for the great time of God’s kingdom that’s coming our way. Seek the Lord more now and do not miss your mission in such an important time as this. 3/20/09

(7) This evening (3/14/09) we went for a walk preaching God’s message using a loud speaker. The Lord was doing so much while the word was spread to hundreds of young people. What happened tonight is the next level of our ministry. Jesus placed a desire in our hearts to make it a life style. The Kingdom of God needs to be proclaimed. It is amazing how quick the Grace of the Lord moves in the city of Albany to bring about something so great that the capital district has not seen yet.

(6) 3/13/09 God is beginning to be very active during our everyday prayers at 7pm. His presence causes people to open up and receive the healing for the wounds of their soul, the wounds that has been there for years. Jesus is the Healer of your soul. “I am the Lord who heals you. “ Exodus 15:26

(5) The Lord honored me this Tuesday (3/10/09) afternoon with a privilege to lead a 22 year old man to Christ. It is impossible to take it for granted. I brings a special joy and smile to my face. I want you to share my joy and pray for quick growth and stability. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents. Luke 15:10

(4) This Sunday evening (3/08/09) the Lord visited us through a brother who prophesies. It happened while we were sitting around in the tea area at about 7pm. It was seven of us. Some of us met for the first time this evening. We did not expect anything extraordinary even though we sensed God’s presence in the room. One hour later somebody comes in to inquire about the Eternity Church. We start talking and that’s how everything began. The next thing we noticed that we were all praying. Everyone received the word of prophecy. Some of us were touched by the Lord more than others. It was going on for an hour and a half. I absolutely loved it and I needed it too. God is faithful. He always comes on time. Jesus was reveling to us some of His plans for the city of Albany and the rest of the world. He desires all people to be saved. The Lord is great.

(3) Four young brothers from Ukraine visited our church this Friday 03.06.09. They sing and play instruments very well. Even though all of them don’t speak English fluently, yet they know how to sing some worship song in English. We went singing and playing guitar while walking prayerfully though some streets of Albany from 5:30 to 7:30pm. A few local brothers joined our guests and made a group of seven. Some of us were carrying body sign which displayed scriptures. The other had a bunch of bible tracks to give away to people. We were blessed much to do this kind of activity. It felt like the Lord Himself was walking with us touching and healing our city. We praise the Lord for sending these brother to us. We believe that God is going to save thousand and thousand of souls in our area. Pray for us and see what part Jesus would have you do in His great plan of reaching the lost. God is good!

(1) Wednesday morning (2/2/2009) God put on somebody’s heart to purchase a symphony digital piano for Eternity Church which was delivered the same day. Aren’t you happy for us? Now we are praying for permanent piano players.
