 November 7 through 10 the McAllen, Texas church celebrated its 20 year anniversary. The church was pioneered and currently pastored by Joe and Mary Helen Moreno. It was a great honor for me to preach their 20 year anniversary revival. Each night testimonies were given by the people in the congregation of how their lives were transformed by salvation and what God had done in their lives through God working in that church. We saw a number of people respond during the week to salvation as well as a number of prophecies to the church and words of knowledge to many individuals. The last night Pastor Moreno brought in his area pioneer churches and we probably saw well over 500 people in attendance. As I sat on the platform looking at the assembly God quickened a verse of scripture to me out of I Peter 2:10  "who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." As the testimonies went forth through the week of God rescuing and redeeming people out of the destructive lifestyles of sin, the truth of God making a people the people of God that once were not his people shined forth. I shared this with those gathered and I am currently working on a sermon on that thought.
   The McAllen church is powering on for God with disciples and young couples being groomed for the harvest field. Pray for them as they continue to seek God's destiny for their congregation.
