• Welcome !

Who am I, O Lord GOD that you have brought me this far?” (2 Samuel 7:18-19)

God created humans out of His goodness in order to share His life and even His glory. The God of Christians is a good God, a God of mercy and loving kindness, ‘Who love mankind.’ When we fell into sin, He allowed death to enter our life again out of goodness, so that we may not become immortal in our wickedness, but to seek for a way of salvation.
