In 1984,
John Belcher, pastor of St. Paul Methodist
Church in Enterprise, was so touched by many hurting and hopeless people in
the area that he began asking God how he could be of service to Him and these
people. The Lord revealed to Rev. Belcher: "if you will start a Mission here, I will
bless many people." Rev. Belcher responded in faith by purchasing a building
that was a gathering place for addicts. As Rev. Belcher enlisted the aid of other
Christians in the area to help with the clean up of the sight, he began to see the
birth of the Christian Mission Centers. Soon a Board of Directors was installed
and the incorporation papers were filed.
As a result of "Brother Johnny's" compassion and caring for the less fortunate
of our area, that small building is now one of eleven other buildings in use to
provide the ongoing ministry at the Christian Mission.
The foundation of all that takes place at the Christian Mission is based upon
our faith and trust in the goodness of our loving Father, His Mercy through the
shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, and our total dependence upon our
advisor, the Holy Spirit.

Christian Mission Center.
