<div><strong>Our Story</strong>
</div>
<div>Our church’s start was at 5 Beekman street NY, NY when God spoke to the heart of a businessman, our founder, Pastor Leighton David Smith, to establish a Bible study in his small office. This flourished into a dynamic spirit filled, spirit led multi-cultural church impacting our city, our nation and the world. Our building is more than just bricks and mortar—it’s a sacred space where prayers are lifted to bring deliverance, the body of Christ is enlightened with end-time Bible prophecy, bodies are healed and friendships are forged.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The vision of this ministry is to carry out the commandment of Jesus in Matthew 10:6-8, which is to preach the kingdom of God, and restore hope to people in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We also align ourselves with New Yorker, Jeremiah Lamphere who had a burden for the lost and became an inner-city missionary in 1857. He invited anyone who wanted to come to the 3rd floor of the Old North Dutch Reform church on Fulton Street in New York city where a prayer service was birthed and what started with 6 people, 1 day a week, grew to 30-40 people, praying every day for the city.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We continue to carry that burden for the lost and our city by going out monthly to evangelize. We purpose to re-dig the well and with God's help start a 21st century revival in New York city, leading to your neighborhoods, your communities and eventually every city in this country!

<div><strong>The Opportunity</strong>
</div>
<div>We are blessed to have a beautiful church, but we still carry a significant mortgage. Paying off this mortgage will free up resources to enhance our vision through outreach programs, youth ministry, and community support. It will also ensure that our church remains a vibrant, debt-free hub for worship and service for generations to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We encourage you to join us as we build on the foundation that was set for us. Every dollar donated will go directly to reducing this debt, bringing us closer to financial freedom and sustainability. Our target is $2,000,000 by June 2027 and every gift—large or small—makes a difference.
