september 2014 Hello and welcome to The Pentecostals of Sydney where you can experience new life in Christ! As we count down to the completion of our ReBuild project, the stress and urgency of the construction has heightened to a tipping point. While the major structural work has been completed, there is now a myriad of minor, yet complex, features that need to be coordinated. Just as strenuous is the cost associated with this project that has led us to borrow money in order to complete it. Some may ask, and indeed I have asked, “Is this all worth it?” “Is this the right thing to do?” As the leadership of this church has prayed and sought God’s will, we have been unanimous in our decision which is in alignment with our God-given vision and desire for God’s Kingdom. This project is not designed for us to just have a nice building, which is a wonderful benefit, but ultimately, it is for the purpose of souls. That being said, it was warranted in order for us to have a safe and secure environment.
dissemination of God’s Truth. It is a healing station where the Balm of Gilead flows but it is also a headquarters by which we receive our marching orders and launch missionaries and ministries. We have a vision to expand and reach our community, city, nation and region so it is imperative that our base is strong and appealing. However, the most important feature of this building is that it is a place where the Spirit of God descends upon His people, where His Shekinah glory is manifested. Continue to pray for this endeavor and support the establishment of this central building. This is our desire….. And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. 1 Kings 8:10-11 ! ! ! ! ! !
God bless you,! ! Pastor Stan Harvey

Recently, we have started a new monthly email that keeps you informed about what is going on at the POS as well as suggesting new music and books. You are also introduced to a special volunteer in the church and much more. If you would like to join it scan the QR code or visit our website.
Life Studies are an enjoyable, non-threatening way to learn more about the Bible. We can meet with you in your home, our home, or a coffee shop. The studies are less than an hour but have the power to change your life. Contact one of our hosts if you would like to start a Life Study.
Come along to a dynamic service on Friday nights at 7:30pm- with skits, games and a message aimed right at you, we guarantee you'll have a great time.
