Celebrations at VICF Church

Kimmo Sarajärvi shares:

For the past half-year, I have become acquainted with GNN’s ministry. It has been great to see how diverse the work is. A part of this is the domestic mission, Vantaa International Christian Fellowhsip.

The congregation celebrated its 15th year of ministry on Sunday 14.1.24. People from ‘every nation’ gathered together. People also sat in the balcony as the lower level promisingly filled up.

We also had Honorary guests who have been helping in this ministry over the years. The music-oriented program was uplifting and Pr. Reijo Blommendahl prompted the audience to sing along ’How Great Thou Art’ in multiple languages. Pr. Tony Ibarra from the Philippines who has served in Frankfurt for 40 years, shared a touching message of God’s grace. The message concluded with an altar call. Tony shared with me about receiving a new vision of grace a year ago after being bedridden for a week in the hospital.

The celebration finished downstairs with a tasty meal of international flavours. A Filipino kitchen team had prepared it with care. The crowd enjoyed themselves.
It’s a joy and an honour to serve the Lord alongside other internationals. Yet again, a big congratulations to the congregation of VICF on its anniversary!
