Our New Sound System

New sound system

Very generous people at ECBC (Evangelical Chinese Bible Church) contacted us and asked if we had a project that we were saving for. We mentioned that we had been looking at a portable sound system to use on Sunday mornings and at our camps and special events.

After their Thanksgiving offering they gave us a check that enabled us to purchase a wonderful sound system. Now we are learning how to set it up and use it. We have several people who are now responsible for the set up including: Rick Benoit, Darlene Mitton, and Bob Mitton.

We are very thankful to ECBC for their generous support of this ministry and praise God for moving the hearts of people to support His works.
