Victory Baptist Church
Berrysburg, PA
Pastor Mark Davis

Among
the rolling hills and deep in the Amish country of Pennsylvania, Pastor Mark
Davis and his family have started this Fundamental Independent Baptist Church.
I preached the Sunday services for their
anniversary as a church family. The work is growing in
grace and vision.
The spirit among the believers was sweet and their
steadfastness in the Word of was evident as they responded to the moving of the
Holy Spirit in their hearts. In days of compromise and worldliness
it is always good to see this type of church that has not wavered from the
anchor of truth. Their love and compassion for each other and the
community is so very evident. I met new folks and renewed old
friendships.

| Musical talent is all
over this church. No need to bring the world into the
church in order to have a stirring and effective music program.

After the morning services the church had
a wonderful Sunday dinner prepared by one of the ladies of the
church. There was a great time of fellowship among the
members and guests. After this we all went back to
the church for a preaching service after which once more folks
fellowshipped with the Anniversary Cake.
A shot time ago the Lord
reached down and touch two lives with His saving Grace.
Now wanting to serve the Lord fully, after being pulled from the
fire of sin, they demonstrated how only the Lord can unshackle
us. He was tightly bound in a genuine certified straight
jack, showing the bondage of satan. Yet
the grace and power of God can set us free. |

The church seems to have an ongoing
building program. Sunday school rooms were added, a new
nursery to accommodate young families is ready and a renovation
of the auditorium is done. Each year it seems
more is done on the building both inside and out.
There was a good spirit among all the
folks and an excellent moving of the Holy Spirit as hearts
yielded to the call of the Lord in their lives.
I sensed the vision of the Pastor and
people along with their determination to build a great work for
the Lord in this part of Pennsylvania.
