2. Church Renovation in Azerbaijan - with Missionary David Parks

Miracle in Azerbaijan

 10 MONTHS AGO

We had one small Assemblies of God church

The Lord told us “This is a new Day forAzerbaijan”

SINCE THEN

One Church has grown to 5 churches (500% growth in number of churches!)

30 Believers in Jesus have grown to over 100!

 2 MONTHS AGO

Pastors were meeting in Subway stations and cafes for prayer meetings and discipleship.

We had a vision for a family ministry center but needed $75,000.

We needed a place to hold children’s ministry.

 SINCE THEN

We have been given a two story $200,000 building.

We have started renovation on the building.

Ministry is taking place despite the fact the building is unfinished.
