WISSINOMING PRAYER WALK

This evening Wissinoming Bible Fellowship Church joined with three other churches in the neighborhood to participate in an hour long prayer walk.  The other churches, True Vine Church, Grace City Church, and Crossroads Community Church, gathered at WBFC to begin the walk.  We were also joined by our sister church La Roca de Reading.

 The walk lasted about one hour.  The 30 plus participants were broken up into five groups who walked a predetermined route from one church to the next ending at Crossroads Community.  During that time over 12 people were approached, prayed with, invited to attend a church tomorrow and three people were given a Bible.

 As the evening ended all the participants gathered for a time of sharing and singing praises to God.  Everyone is anxious to do this again and plans are being made to that end.

 Please pray that those contacted and those blocks of houses and churches prayed over will be led to join with us and to know Christ as Lord and Savior.

 Below are two pictures taken as we were gathering together to go out.

WELCOME TO WISSINOMING BIBLE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH

And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” Mark 1:38 Hello and welcome to the blogsite for Wissinoming Bible Fellowship Church.  We are a congregation of the Bible Fellowship Church denomination and are located in the northeast section of Philadelphia, PA. This congregation was established in November of 1922 and located on VanKirk Street in the Wissinoming neighborhood.  That means we are approaching our 100th anniversary of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ here in this spot. What is the Bible Fellowship Denomination?  The logo says it best. Our goal is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.  Because of this: We believe that all people are born sinners, with sin natures that render them worthy of eternal condemnation. By grace alone through faith alone, those who believe receive forgiveness of sin based on Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. We practice believers’ baptism by immersion. We hol

LADIES BIBLE STUDY - 2 TIMOTHY 1:1-5

Image
Today's study is from 2 Timothy 1:1-5.  The key verses for this chapter are verses 8-9. Join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.  He has saved us and called us to a holy life -- not because of anything we have done, but because of his own purpose and grace. Reflection: Are there people who have been sources of encouragement to you during a difficult time in your life?  Remember what they did, what they said, and the way they timed their involvement with you.  How did they encourage you? Scripture: Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus. To Timothy, my beloved child:  Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.  As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.  I am reminded of your sincere fai

TUESDAY LADIES BIBLE STUDY

Image
The Tuesday Ladies Bible Study has had quite a history.  Originally it was begun by Elder Joe Specht at the request of Pastor Justin Hunter as a mid-week Bible study for retired and/or older adults to come together for coffee, cake and study.  This group eventually encompassed all ages and continued for a little over three years with various members coming and going.  It consisted of both men and women and usually there were around 10 to 12 people present.  We all remember the week that one young lady said, "I want to be saved.  Can you explain to me what I need to do?"  God really worked in this group. But as with all things, time changed the makeup of the study.  Eventually there were only women attending.  The elders thought at this point it should turn into a ladies Bible study and Mrs. Kathy Specht agreed to be the leader. During the five years under her leadership the group has studied the books of Ruth, Esther, Daniel, Mark, Acts, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippia
