My Pastor Dad
Friday, July 9th, 2010My dad is a pastor. He used to speak at a small bible study group of about ten people, and nurtured them. Usually, the gatherings were held in our house. But when they multiplied, our house became a little church, but it wasn’t big enough to accommodate them. And so, dad thought about putting up awnings in our back yard and to have a space that’s protected from the hot sun and bad weather.
All of us were glad when the retractable awnings have been placed, especially the attendees who has been eager to hear more about the Lord. Everyday we rented to some chairs for them to sit in, and we had the backyard organized so that our little church will be enough for each member. Now, years have passed and that group of people turned into a congregation. We have build out own church nearby, and it’s big enough to take in everyone in town! The awing is still there, and we owe it to that sun shield that many people have become followers of God.
