Despite financial challenges and mixed opinions, the project was seen as a faithful response to God’s blessings and a strategic way to serve more souls. Morning Star’s first year saw enthusiastic participation, increased giving, and a vibrant sense of mission. The story highlights the spiritual and logistical journey of establishing a new congregation rooted in gospel outreach.
