From My Heart: I think the apostle Paul must have had the Merrimack Valley Church in mind when he said, the whole world is hearing about your faith. (Romans 1:8) The word is getting out. People struggling through church building programs in other parts of the country are asking, “What is your secret?” People across the valley and around the Greater Boston area are waking up to the fact that there is something very special about this church. Well, we know the truth. There’s nothing particularly special about us— It’s just that we have an awesome God who is at work in this church. He is stirring our hearts in revival, faith, and giving. And all the glory goes to Him! -- DBM
