Over the last twenty-five years, Nick Chilivis has had a front row seat to what God has been doing at The Church of The Apostles. As he reminisces about the church’s story—from his time as a member of the church’s first vestry to the church today—one theme clearly emerges: God has been faithful.

In May 2012, The Church of The Apostles will celebrate its 25th Anniversary in ministry. As I look back over the first 25 years, I cannot help but rejoice in God’s faithfulness. These have been building years, preparing us for the next 25 years.

Presently, there is a growing humanitarian crisis in the Nuba Mountains. A broadening war also means a broadening humanitarian crisis. The international community has so far chosen to do next-to-nothing to check the genocidal policies of the NCP. That’s where you come in.

How many of us climbed out of bed this morning and promptly put in our earplugs for a day without sound? Or wrapped our eyes with a blindfold for a fun-filled day with no sight? Or tied a hand behind our back for a left-hand-only-kind-of-day?

For two years now I have been praying, spending time with the Lord, and sensing in my spirit through His leadership that we should do something symbolic for this mid-Jubilee year, namely, that all church members have the opportunity to renew their Membership Covenants on the day of the 25th Anniversary.
