SPREADING THE GOSPEL TWO BY TWO

^{Luke 10:1-2 (Amp) Now after this the Lord chose and appointed seventy others, and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to come (visit). V2 And He said to them, (There is much ripe grain,) the harvest indeed is abundant, but the farm hands are few, Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.}

^{This scripture best describes the team of Pastor Morris Terry and Pastor Larry James II, also known as  "The Bishops".  They have been given a strong desire and assignment to labor in the vineyard and harvest the souls for Jesus Christ.}

^{Pastor Terry and Pastor James  have been in ministry since 1998. Pastor James's passion for saving souls on the mean streets of East Cleveland and Pastor Terry's ability to redirect ex-convicts lives has been the center of their ministry.} 

^{Together these  pastor touch many souls for Christ. The ministry has outreaches that touch the lives of the homeless, jobless, and Godless, changing lives to living for Christ. You will find members  that will tell you "I'd never thought I would ever believe in God but  "The Bishops" have changed my thinking."}

^{When you ask Bishop Terry who is your pastor?, he will quickly tell you "Pastor James is my pastor". If you were to ask Bishop James who is your pastor? ,  he will acknowledge Pastor Terry as his pastor. No big I's and no little U's here.}

^{Pastors James and Terry will tell anyone that  Jesus is the head of the church and we simple follow Jesus.}

^{The Abundant Life Christian Center  Church Family is covered by The Church Of The Lion Of Judah Ministries, Overseer Romey Coles.}

^{The Abundant Life Christian Center Church is radical in praise and worship and understands that God sits  in the middle of their praise.  Many lives have been changed because where ever the spirit of the Lord dwells, change must occur.}

^{"The Bishops" are appreciated by other ministers and laymen  because they give them a  chance to preach and teach the word of God from the pulpit. Pastor Terry and Pastor James  don't believe in "hogging"  the pulpit. "We like to be fed the word of God as much as we like feeding others".}

^{The selflessness of "The Bishops" have inspired men and women to share the gospel as the word of God instructs us to do.  John 16:15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature". The scripture is actually saying  "as you go into the world daily, as you go to work, as you go to school, as you go to the store, as you go about your  activities, share the good news,  share the kingdom of God with those  you meet.}

^{The ministry also has an outreach called "Second Chance Ministry". The Bishops co-founded this ministry after discovering a need to help men and women coming out of prison. Often these souls have not been introduced to Jesus and salvation. Some if not most,  have limited job skills and need employers to give them a second chance. Pastor Terry is very active in helping the ex- convict get back on their feet and regain employment and dignity.}

^{The joy that comes on the faces of those this ministry helps is worth every  effort.}

^{Abundant Life Christian Center Church has a unique mission to plant one hundred churches through out the world. The mission is too large for mere men but nothing is impossible for God!  "The Bishops" realize that if they could  fulfill the mission of planting  one hundred churches  on their own,  then it wouldn't be from God and would be destined for failure.}

^{Pastors James and Terry are quick to tell anyone that before they embark on any assignment, they pray and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit.}

^{There have  been several men and women of God that have had a great  impact on their lives and their ministry. Pastor Terry's Wife Ylonda has been a great support in the ministry.  Both Pastor James and Pastor Terry has been strongly influenced by Pastor E.C Lee of Union Hill Missionary Baptist Church,  who gave them their charge to stay together and bless the world with their gifts. Pastor Lee ordained Pastor Terry.}

^{Pastor James was ordained by Pastor V.R. Grayson of Mount Holiness Church.}

^{Pastor Grayson was the gateway for Pastor James entering into ministry.}

^{If you ask these two men of God, Who do you love?, they will  both tell you  -}

^{"We love God, we love our families and we love following Jesus Christ on this exciting journey".}
