Starting a daughter work is not for the faint of heart! Pastor Joseph Perry, his wife Angela and the wonderful church family at Dover Link Church (a daughter work of The Link Church in Canton, Ohio) are thriving in their efforts to raise a new work for God in the Dover/New Philadelphia area.
The church has worked tirelessly for two years to renovate their building in downtown Dover. Their labor has certainly paid off. The beautiful sanctuary is a warm and welcoming place to worship the Lord.
The church family is hungry to see mighty things happen in their city. In fact, one evening, our time of fellowship at the Perry's home turned into a powerful prayer meeting. The Lord confirmed to this group the prophecies from the past! It is happening!!
During our time in Dover, we were able to travel over to the city of Minerva to Christian Life Center (another daughter work of The Link Church). The presence of the Lord met us in a wonderful way.
After spending several nights teaching and preaching concepts of Lifestyle Evangelism, we headed out to put the tools into practice. Making connections with people everywhere we went, after all, there is no impact without contact!
On Saturday, we were joined by the Apostolic Ministerial Team (AMT). This powerful group, under the direction of Bishop Joe Ellis, is an awesome team of apostolic men and women who are helping churches all over Ohio impact their city! During our Saturday morning service, God moving in an amazing way! A burden was released for the "missing" all around us!
We went out to the streets and the church family had a new boldness about them! That afternoon, the church hosted a community event. After a short time in the city, guests came to meet this loving group of people.
The most exciting part is that they are continuing to see a harvest, weeks later!
Sis. Perry reports:
*We met a couple who are pentecostal and looking for a church…they are so excited they found us!
*John (a man we met during the revival) has been coming every week!
*There was a lady that called who got our door hanger. Her whole family had left the church years ago and some are now ready to come back!
*I can say I am a changed girl since you were here! I have a different mind set…defeating the giants that hold me back from fulfilling my purpose in Him!
We are excited for the Perry and the Dover Link Church as they reap the harvest God has promised them!
