Welcome to the website of Mountain Road God's Missionary Church! I have been serving here as the pastor for the past three years. God has been helping us, and we have seen growth spiritually as well as increase numerically, for which we are very grateful. I'm often reminded of the words of Jesus in John 15:5 - '...without Me ye can do nothing', as well as the declaration in Zechariah 4:6 - '...Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
(John 3:16; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 3:16)
Many years ago
Before the world began
God was looking for a person
To carry out His master plan.
He needed a supreme sacrifice
Who was innocent and pure
So that man’s sins could be forgiven
And he could commune with God once more.
He began to search through Heaven
To find one who was able to go
To pay the price to redeem fallen man
From his wickedness and woe.
He went from corridor to corridor
Until He found the only One
Who was able to meet the requirements
It was Jesus, His only Son.
God looked at Him and asked,
“My Son, are You willing to go
To be a sacrifice for fallen man
On the wicked world below?
They will hate and despise You
And You will suffer, bleed, and die
But then You will be resurrected
And You’ll reign with Me on high.”
Christ looked at His Heavenly Father
And saw the tears that filled His eyes
He was silent for a moment
Then He gave Him this reply.
“I will do whatsoever You ask
Because I am Your Son
If I must be a sacrifice for man
Not My will, but Thine, be done.”
So God sent Him down to earth
To die upon the rugged cross
And save every human soul
From being eternally lost.
I do not understand it
And I have often asked, “Just why
Would God send His precious Son
To a wicked world to die?”
I have searched and searched for answers
But I have found just this one
For God so loved the world
He gave His only Son!
