How it all Began...
In 2003, I received an instruction from the LORD to start a breakfast outreach in our neighborhood, inviting a few friends and neighbors living in our area and beyond. The breakfast outreach took place every 2nd Saturday of the month for two hours in the morning. At each of these meetings, we had a great time of worship, sharing the word, and it also became an avenue for reaching out to those who were yet to know the LORD.
