Truro Christian Churches, N.S., Canada

Colchester County has a plethora of churches. And that is a good sign Christians are everywhere. Some may say, "Another church?" Why not? There certainly are enough bars, bingo halls, and outlets for purchasing drinks. What is so difficult for some to accept a variety of places regarding worship where the true hub of Christianity is one God for all people.

For example, Abundant Life Victory Church in Bible Hill, adjacent to Truro, Nova Scotia is really an interdenominational church. Others call it a non-denominational one. It is like one spoke where services are available to those seeking to praise their God. And Jesus, the Son of God has descended from the cross, not only for those souls in Bible Hill, but in Nova Scotia, Canada and the world.

Worship is an international praise of our God who came into this world to save us from our sins. In a sense the beginning point of the Victory Churches International, of which Abundant Life is a member, is the hub of a worldwide ministry. Each church tithes to the main office who in turn help other Victory churches get established where there is a need. As well these funds assist in developing villages by providing opportunities for young girls to learn a trade, as in India, where it is most difficult to get married if the female does not have a dowry.

Learning through doing allows these young ladies to save their money for that very special day in their lives. Funds are also used in a variety of ways to assist orphanages, buy clothes, vehicles to get children and adults around, bring in teachers to train others, ie through Bible Schools. The Word of God, inspired the many writers to compile worship, praise, prayers and services to Jesus via the vehicle of such men as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And from these words of praise come love and forgiveness, essential to our way of life in each community of Colchester County.
