God Moves in Romney Church

Story by Liz Bailey

The Romney (W.Va.) church took a step of faith this summer. The church invited Pastor Michael Carder, a speaker for Amazing Facts, to lead a three-week evangelistic series. At first, some wondered if it was even possible for a small congregation to host such an event with so many other programs and commitments already taking place across the district. Yet, the members of Romney believed that if God was opening the door, no obstacle was too great.

The meetings began, and God’s presence was felt night after night. For many, the experience was truly transformational. Tyler, a young attendee, described the series as “life-changing, and life-defining.” After receiving Bible studies, he made the decision to surrender his life completely to Jesus. He was not alone as eight others also made commitments for Christ, either through baptism or profession of faith.

“This three-week series has become a testimony that no town is too small, no challenge too great and no church too limited when God is leading,” says Eddie Reyes, pastor of the Romney, Moorefield, Moorefield Spanish and Franklin churches. “The Romney church now looks forward with anticipation, praying that this will be only the beginning of greater things God has in store for its community.”
