Phil & Elin Henderson As Guest Speakers At CBCC

On Sunday, June 23rd the Henderson family, missionaries with New Tribes Mission, will be speaking at the Center Barnstead Christian Church. They have served with NTM for the past 9 years in Mozambique, Africa and for the past 8 years have lived among the Mwinika people group. They are a resistant people group numbering around 200,000 and living on the coast of the Indian Ocean. During this time they have been learning their culture and language and working to translate the Word of God and teach it to them in their language, as well as, teaching them to read and write their own language which was prior to this time, unwritten. 

They have seen the hand of God move as His Word penetrates the darkness that has blinded the Mwinika for years. God has done and is doing great things! Come and hear what Phil has to share from God’s Word. 

Sunday School begins at 9:00 AM and Morning Worship follows at 10:00 AM.  The Center Barnstead Christian Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall.  For more information, please call the church at 269-8831.
