BIC Opens a New Chapter of 611

Thank God! The new church venue, BIC (Being, Integrate, Connect), is about to open! Since 2007, I had hoped to find a venue near the Wealthy Garden that could accommodate over 350 people, but it was indeed difficult. Unexpectedly, after 18 years, such a venue has finally appeared. This truly is the grace and provision of God, allowing us to fulfill our heart’s desire for church-building.

BIC is the training center that God has prepared for us. It is located in Smartland, just across the street from the Wealthy Garden, making it very close. The rent is equivalent to the cost of renting two places in Wealthy Garden before, but the venue is four times larger. It can gather the Youth Army, the Eagle Department (the Bible School), and the ANEW Co-workers all in one place. It is a great location for training people of different age groups and communities, and it will enable the church to become more integrated. I believe God will use BIC to raise up more people to become a Tree of Life, fulfilling the vision of planting Trees of Life everywhere.

I thank God for bringing different talents into our church, forming the “Seven Stars Task Force”, which enables us to keep our church-building efforts going. One of them, Arlen, came to us during high school and became a believer. After graduating from university, he became a co-worker. In 2014, as we were preparing to build the Mercy Seat, he became a great help to us. I appreciate Arlen very much. When he first graduated, he knew nothing, but he was willing to continually explore and grow. Today, he is an essential member of the construction team. God also brought in Michael, a senior engineer with 40 years of experience, as well as other co-workers joining the construction team, making our team increasingly mature. I am truly very grateful to God for this team!

I found that the BIC project of our church-building this time was easier than in the past. Although the process had its difficulties, when we upheld everything in prayer, we greatly experienced God’s faithfulness. God guided us to move forward in the vision, building teams, providing venues, and even during a global economic downturn, He supplied our financial needs. The 18 million dollars required for the building offering is almost complete, which is truly God’s abundant grace!

The new BIC venue is a milestone in the development of our church, witnessing 611 stepping into a new phase. Thanks to Abba Father’s abundant provision, we can build a glorious sanctuary for God. May God greatly use all the venues to fulfill His will!■【2025.06.29】
