~Christian Life Centre of Malta - Moving to a New Home

*************************************************************

New Home of Christian Life Centre - Malta ~first service on Easter Sunday 2011

Kirby and Mary Parker, United Pentecostal Church International appointed representatives to Malta, are thrilled to announce the news that Christian Life Centre, the Church they sponsored in 2002, has a new home. After nine years in the original location, a door has been opened of the Lord to expand and grow. The four hundred seat theater complex of the St. Vincent de Paul Senior Residence will host the first Worship Service on Easter Sunday, the 24th of April.

The Parkers, with their fifteen year old daughter Rebecca, arrived in Malta in May of 2002. There was no one to welcome their arrival at the airport, no church building to move into, no nucleus of saints expecting them. They came to Malta to pioneer a New Work for the Lord Jesus, with the Message of One God in Christ and the Acts 2:38 Salvation Plan.

In the nine years the Parkers have been in Malta, hundreds have gathered from more than forty countries around the world to hear the Life Changing message of Jesus Christ. Many have been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus and have been filled with the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

Malta is located sixty miles south of Sicily in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. It is best known as being the Island where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked in about 60 A.D. The Bible account is told in Acts Twenty Seven and Twenty Eight. With the later exploits of the medieval Knights of Malta of the 16th Century, and the amazing story of survival during the fierce Axis bombing of WWII, Malta is proud of its place in history.
