In its own words
The below information is still applicable except that we are doing more online contacts and ministry information. We are still operating out of my personal home as due to extreme expensive repairs needed on the building we purchased for the ministry we had to sell the building. We are now looking to obtain a building more suitable to the ministry needs. The ongoing program is general house meetings telephone meetings and online communication.
