PRESENTED BY,  Reverend, Dr.,Wilbert D. Gough

As you may or may not recall, Pastor Gough graces Step With Christ Ministries through serving in an advisor role  to matters of Sound Doctrine. We indeed are grateful and very blessed  to be able to Grow in Christ through his experience of 65 years in ' The Pulpit ' !  (and still at it, serving as an Interim Pastor every Sunday! at FIRST  CHRISTIAN CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, in Kittery Point, Maine.
Along Pastor's journey, he and his lovely and supporting, very soon to be wife, both graduated  from Philadelphia Bible University, .............. Together, they have driven Pastor's Ministry Successes  in So many capacities .  Among his years of building churches, some of which reached 2,000 plus members, Writing, and just about everything else a Pastor may do, He and his wife Florence served as Christian Tour Guides to The HOLY LAND ! .( Hence, we're taxing him to share his ' Famous Tour Guide Experience '  with us and First Christian Church, as well as the entire Community for what we have titled, ... " A VIRTUAL TRIP to THE HOLY LAND ".
( we are praying that we will be able to announce guest speakers, a time and venue location, and date for you by next week. )
Over these years, Pastor has served in many capacities. Dr. Gough received his Doctorate Degree from Eastern Baptist Seminary, and additionally holds dual Graduate degrees,
(One from Temple University School of Theology, and Burton Theological Seminary.) One of Pastor's fondest memories to the day, was to hold slide-show presentations from the several tours and pilgrimages led by he and his wife to ISRAEL, to THE HOLY LAND.

Over the several years serving Our Lord in as deep a way as I've ever personally seen, Pastor has also lectured, taught, missioned, and written extensively. his writings are inclusive of his own enlightening book titled " LIFE  ISN'T  FAIR -  BUT GOD IS ", and many articles in magazines such as (one of our personal faves), DECISION MAGAZINE, THE WATCHMAN-EXAMINER,
THE PULPIT DIGEST, THE LINK (ARMED FORCES MAGAZINE), many newspapers,
and several Collegiate Speaking Engagements. ( Oh what wisdom must lie in the heart of such a man!,    And he's willing to SHARE ! with prayer that by humbly sharing his array of Godly focused experiences may in any small way, bring us closer to the Word of God, and a more full understanding of ' THE WAY '. The Way of our Messiah Christ,Jesus !

We are praying in The Holy Spirit, that you will join us on the decided event date of late January, or early March. Join us (free of charge of course!), and see The Bible come to life as you walk in the foot-steps of our PATRIARCHS, PROPHETS, APOSTLES, and YESHUA, JESUS Himself.

On the evenings agenda are Pastor's Guided Tour, An outstanding guest musical duo, and the strong possibility of a visit from a Messianic Rabbi, to share their testimony of how they as being Jewish have come to accept Christ as Savior./.......Praise God for this opportunity to " Burn brighter for Christ "  during what appear to be dark and prophetic days ahead.
MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS TO COME NEXT WEEK,......b

Shalom Shabbat/Invitation


Shabbat Shalom Family!
If you were to stroll a street in any Jewish neighborhood, any time between sunset on Friday through Saturday sunset, you will notice Jews wishing eachother an enjoyable Shabbat! , which if unfamiliar is the Jewish worshiper's Day of Rest. So !, Shalom Shabat to our Jewish brothers and especially our
partners at The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews  Click here for link to our partners  .  Let us never forget GENESIS 12:3, which is a Promise of God to " Bless those who bless Israel ". These trying days for our Brother's and Sister's are challenging to say the very least, and seem very reflective of End Day scripture. PLEASE remember them in your prayers!

Although ( I ) can't sing a lick ( not one of my own Holy Spirit Gifts ), my heart indeed sings out blessings to Israel. So, we've found a beautiful child of Christ. Let us share her Holy Spirit Gift of song with you and our family in ISRAEL.

SIDE-NOTE ALERT  !
A LAST MINUTE INVITATION TO ALL
Many, many apologies for not alerting you earlier BUT, ...............
TOMORROW  DEC. 6th at 10:00 A.M. Service at FIRST  CHRISTIAN CHURCH of Kittery Point, we are blessed to be honored with a GUEST  MUSICAL APPEARANCE by renowned seacoast Tenor MR. NATHAN COX. Unlike myself, The Holy Spirit Gift of Song was indeed endowed to our good friend Nate. As a matter of fact, I believe he may have a double portion, or as our own Pastor Gough would say , ....NATE My Friend , ...You are indeed DOUBLY  BLESSED !

Although last minute my friends, if you've not seen Nate in a public venue elsewhere, I tell you it is well worth your time. We pray you might be able to join us at The Little Church, With A Big Heart 
First Christian Church can be located at:
