The Ballico Mennonite Congregation
The Church of God in Christ, Mennonite is a group of Christian Believers who endeavour to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and His apostles in all matters of faith and practice. We believe in modesty and simplicity in our daily life and business practices. Many of us work with our hands as farmers or tradesmen, just as Jesus was a humble carpenter.
We welcome you to come visit us and to let the Lord speak to your heart. Our doors are open to everyone, regardless of where life has taken you thus far. We have all made mistakes and fallen to Satans tactics. But through God's Redemption Plan and His Wonderful Grace, you can find Peace of Mind in a Troubled World.
We have two services every Sunday, the morning service begins at 10:45 AM and the evening service at 7:00 PM. Sunday School begins at 10:00am. We extend a hearty invitation for you to join us. May God bless you as you seek to do His will.
You can also visit the main Church of God in Christ, Mennonite website which has a large amount of gospel literature that may help you in your search.

THE RADIANCE OF GOD’S LOVE
When I awoke this morning, the sun was shining as brightly as ever, but its light was filtered. Its presence was there, but its intense warmth was being hindered by the atmosphere.
That is how God’s love is. It is there. It radiates. But sometimes, its warmth barely penetrates through the cold atmosphere of my universe.
My heart was dull; my spirit was heavy. My limbs were as lead. My Caregiver? Oh yes, does He care? Does He know my oxygen is low? Can He feel the throb of pain?
Where could I go? I feel a tug. My clouded eyes barely look up, and there I fall, prostrate and call in my weakness. I call in distress. He draws me to His embrace. My faltering heart seeks His heartbeat. I pour out my longings, my hurts, my anxieties, my sins, my griefs. Helplessly, all my contents spill out. He lovingly scoops them up. You see, He is my Caregiver. And He is there, just like the rising sun, every day. Though the moon casts its shadow and brings a chill to the air, He is still there. And He cares.
When my prayer is spent, I rise shakily to my feet. I am overwhelmed at my Caregiver’s infusion of strength. I am amazed at the renewed oxygen my Caregiver has supplied. My dimmed, distorted vision requires a new lens, and I am sustained by His vision.
The morning goes by. A song from my Caregiver wafts through the air. Yes, in Your own time, Lord, in Your own way, teach me to be patient. Lord, teach me to wait; the answer may not come today.
A message dings on my phone—a message from my Caregiver! I cannot believe what I am experiencing; it overwhelms me. A friend, a long ago, far away friend, sends me a message of courage. She sings me a song of God’s care. She had no idea she was a personal messenger from my Caregiver. She was just faithful to inner promptings.
Lord, I thank You. Lord, Your love is overwhelming. You are the healing grace my heart always hungers for.
This letter is a thank you to my personal Caregiver.
And may each and every one of you learn to know Him, too. He is there, like the sun, radiating warmth and care in a cold, uninhabitable atmosphere. Thank You, God.
