Proverbs 22:1-6
1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common,
The LORD is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD
Are riches and honor and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
[a]And when he is old he will not depart from it.
This year's Vacation Bible School (V.B.S 2023) explores God's awesomeness. The program aims to fortify kids by helping them form a rock-solid faith for the road ahead. As they navigate through the recount of Joseph's story, they will learn that Almighty God's love is unconditional, He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Miraculous and Forever Alive!
And Joseph is an excellent example of enduring faith. As a child he got a vision from God that his father and brother will bow down to him, Genesis chapters 37-50 tells the story of Joseph. After many tribulations (sold into slavery, falsely accused and pleased in prison and forgotten by those he helped etc) he remained faithful to his God and he saw God’s plan for him come to pass. And that is what faith is all about trusting in what God has shown you and faithfully obeying Him.
The Harvest Church team will be taking the lead on this venture while our St. Augustine Volunteers will be assisting in various ways. Be part of this wonderful evangelistic drive in any way you can: Pray, donate time and/or resources, and spread the word!

Jerry Singh's Testimony
Jerry is a native of Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies. He descended from a long line of Hindu priests and expected to continue in the lineage of the priesthood. This all changed in February of 1980 when American missionaries came to his village. It was the first time his people heard the Gospel. After hearing John 3:16 and Romans 5:8 and the message of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, and through the encouragement of a friend, Jerry realized he was a sinner and in need of the Savior. He placed his trust in Christ alone as his Savior. During his discipleship and training, Jerry realized God’s call upon his life to be a missionary. He responded to Christ in submission and obedience.
For over 35 years, Jerry has devoted his life to passionately proclaiming the Gospel to the lost. His conversion and dynamic testimony challenge believers to refuse complacency in their walk with Christ. Jerry is a former Bible college teacher, youth pastor, camp program director, and church planter. Jerry is an Evangelist/Missionary. He is an international speaker and the Founder and Executive director of One-Way Evangelistic Ministries in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He pastors the ministries of One-Way in shepherding, training, equipping, nurturing, and serving.
Jerry trains and leads mission teams and has completed over 50 mission trips around the world, including trips to Trinidad (West Indies), Guyana, Belize, India, Canada, England, and the USA. Jerry graduated from LIT (Leadership In Training) Bible Training in Trinidad, New Tribes Missions Institute, attended Frontier School of the Bible and further education with Andersonville Seminary. Jerry and his wife Kathy have been married for 28 years and have three adult children. They reside in Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA.

Notice
As announced at SAEBC’s October 2022 Business Meeting, the Pastors and Elders are preparing a Leadership Development Program that will begin in February 2023. The goal of the program is to identify and prepare members who are willing to fill leadership posts in the future within SAEBC: Ministry Leaders, Deacons, Deaconesses, Elders, Pastors or Beyond SAEBC: AEBC, Missions, Para-Church Organisations
In the past, SAEBC has found Pastors from within its Eldership and Elders from among its Deacons. The church membership has endorsed this approach to growth and development. This requires that members make themselves available for training and appointment or election to leadership positions.
We invite those who feel the call to Church leadership involvement to prayerfully consider the application below. Please complete and submit this application to the church office (in written form via Email or WhatsApp) and you will obtain an interview for inclusion in the program.
The head of the Church, Our Lord Jesus Christ, both calls and equips leaders for His body. Pray/work with us as we seek to find His provisions for SAEBC.
