From the Pastor Praise the Lord Saints, uring the past ten years that God has ordained Upper Room Worship Center and called me into the Pastoral office, I am in utter amazement at how faithful God is to His Word. If you put your trust in God, He will never fail you. The road has not been easy, the sun has not always been shining, and the resources havenot always been available, but God has never failed us. I am reminded of a songwriter, Rev. Clay Evans, who wrote, “As I look back over my life and I think things over, I can truly say that I’ve been blessed; I have a testimony.” I am convinced that one of the most important weapons we have against the enemy and the most strategic pulling power we have with unbelievers is our testimony. Don’t ever be ashamed of where God has brought you from because if He brought you to it, He will bring you through it. People of God, Galatians 6:9 declares, “And let us not beweary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.” Let us step into the new vision… let’s step into the new position… let’s step into the new anointing… let’s step into the new power and authentic presence of God. The best is yet to come. This is our exodus, our new beginning! Humbly submitted by your Senior Pastor, Dr. Alexis Stone & Elect Lady Pam Stone D
