Celebration Church has been breaking new ground in the Sauerstown community since the child feeding program began there. The simple act of feeding hungry children in a place where food was so desperately needed has resulted in a thriving local church that continues to change lives and is truly transforming the face of this community. God has been so faithful in allowing us to minister to the precious people of this community in the midst of drug addiction, prostitution, death and despair. His grace and favor came through in a big way this week as we were able to finally break ground for the start of a community complex that will continue to transform this community thru the love of Jesus.  It’s been a long time coming as we have wrestled with local government to finally get the proper documentation that officially granted us the lease on 2 hectares of land. It’s also a bit ironic that we are now literally breaking ground in an area that was considered “hard ground”. Sauerstown has been a bit of a graveyard for churches in the past years but love and acceptance has changed all that.

 Clearing has nearly completed this week and we will begin fencing the entire parcel next week.  Our first challenge is to fund and erect an 8500 sq ft community center/feeding center/church building. This will be the cornerstone of a complex we hope to build which will include classrooms, clinic, athletic areas, economic empowerment projects/training and agricultural projects.  The opportunities are endless. Stay tuned for new developments as we step out and believe God for big things.
