Central Baptist Church
Massena, New York
Pastor Steven Darrow
Massena is located in upper New York State on the St.
Lawrence River. As you might expect, the winters can be very cold
and sometimes brutal. But that has not caused the good folks of Central
Baptist Church to lose their fire for evangelism nor its warm Christian spirit .
The Lord brought
Brother Steven Darrow and his wife back to the area and to this church. There is great vision
and anticipation of what the Lord is going to do in the days to come.
Already the blessing of God be seen in so many ways.
 I
was asked to preach a four day Revival Meeting and Brother and Sister Merritt
provided Godly music. Everything seemed to be perfect for the meetings. The Lord
gave wonderful weather and He gave His blessing upon the preaching of the
Word of God. Tender hearts were moved by the Lord in each service.
Seemed like the Lord had something special for each one each service.
Much soul searching took place at the altar. Many who came to the altar in
tears returned to their seats in joy as the Holy Spirit worked. Best of
all two souls were saved. One on Saturday visitation and one on Sunday
morning.
I felt the presents of the Lord as Don and Carol sang to the Glory of
God. In these days of showmanship and glamour it is rare to see
such tender, sweet and dedicated Christian Singers. These folk
were not performers but servants of our Lord. They really prepared
my heart and the people's heart for the preaching.
There was record breaking attendance
(Since Brother Darrow arrival) on Sunday and during the week day nights of
service.
Brother Darrow and wife Vivian, moved up from Florida
to build this ministry. When most seem to go South to retire, the call of
God was upon them to come North and do something for the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
Leaving the Sun Shine State they moved to this
"North Land" to win souls and edify the Saints of God.
