Kanaph Church

Today, something happened that I had no choice but to stay for a day even though I didn't want to in this city that I've never heard of. It was undeniable that pastor Bruce Deel's today's message as a guest speaker was indeed a message given to me by the Lord. After the service, I needed to adjust the schedule by looking into the laptop for a while. Suddenly two men approached me. One of them, Bill, looked me up and down and asked me what I was doing here. He tried to force me out while many others stayed in the church. I asked him why I should leave when the others were still in the hall. This person said that because I had brought a bag. If so, they could have asked me if they could check the bag, but they didn't say that from the beginning of the conversation and the entrance. Then he just tried to force me out. This man, Bill, lied to me from the beginning that he told me that. And it turns out that, contrary to what this person said, this person was not even a security guard. If it is a problem to bring a bag, you should investigate the load of everyone who comes to worship. I said that I am a passing traveler, visitor, and Christian, so I also showed my seminary ID and said I am a pastor, but another man standing next to this man Bill, asked me, like an interrogator, which church in LA are you? Oh my goodness, do you guys think you are good at discerning all the denominations biblically? Humble yourself. Ok, so to worship in this church, you should not be a traveler, visitor, pastor, or even nonbeliever who owns a bag? I guess they only heard the sermons of this church's pastors and didn't hear or didn't want the sermon of pastor Bruce today. The pastor, who later found out that he was the church's associate pastor, also asked me why I came to this town, even after I showed him my seminary ID and said I am a pastor. I told him I didn't feel the need to answer that question. Look. If someone comes to visit, you will only care about whether the person is born again Christian or not. The one soul you miss may be the soul you will never find again anywhere else. If you put a nonbeliever in a welcome team, the pastor in charge does not know the importance or is not interested in the soul. So the pastors. Please do not be interested in getting information such as what my name is in ID but think about the Gospel. If someone causes a disturbance in the church, the pastor's name is Marty, so if everyone is MARTY*** during service, it would be an honor and grateful thing to God. The time of martyrdom is approaching for the church on this earth. So what do you worry about? If you can not overcome that fear, just set up a security checkpoint. I don't feel any deep repentance from them, so I still write a review like this and leave this town where I won't come back. The only reason I gave two stars was because of a humble woman who opened the door for me wholeheartedly.

What a wonderful church in Augusta! The Holy Spirit dwells here, and that’s why I am surely coming back. Today I visited for the first time and was welcomed warmly by EVERYONE there. The service was divine: from worship to sermon… it was Spirit-led, soul-nurturing, and life-changing. I then received a tour. The backyard is literally HEAVEN here… so beautiful and peaceful, I just wanna go sit there EVERY day facing woods and being quiet with God. They gave me a tour, and I saw a gorgeous facility made with PEOPLE in mind. Bathrooms are so clean: period pads, hand lotion, flowers - all there… The nice gentleman at the cafe made me fancy hot chocolate with marshmallows and other fancy things, which I enjoyed… and I just had fun being there! Then… omg… I went to a prayer room. Heather was there waiting. She prayed with me, for me, over me… and a miracle I’ve been waiting for… for 6 months… happened TODAY a few minutes after I left the church… This is a place of miracles, and I can tell you with confidence after I attended 10 different churches in the Augusta area in 6 month since I moved from Atlanta: this is the best church in Augusta GA by every measure. I have also attended a goal-setting small group there, and it was incredible, helpful, mind-blowing good! The nice lady who leads it bi-weekly is generous, brilliant, and genuine. Her goal-setting workshop helped me tremendously right away! And one more thing: people at this church are just so so beautiful! Just literally gorgeously-beautiful creatures walking around filled with joy. This church is for everyone who loves Jesus and is led by the Holy Spirit.
