How its going...
The foundational vision of the establishment was to extend love outwardly, reaching individuals from all walks of life and compelling them to embrace the teachings of Christ. Over the course of his 28-year tenure as Pastor, Bishop Hillian facilitated the salvation of numerous individuals. He demonstrated remarkable gifts in edification, exhortation, and offering comfort. Bishop Hillian not only laid the physical foundations of the institution but also planted the seeds of its spiritual growth. We remain profoundly grateful for his enduring legacy and boundless love.
