Greetings in the mighty and faithful name of Jesus! As all of you are now aware the tiny country of Haiti was hit by a 7.2 EarthQuake that has left the country in shambles. They are now estimating more than 100,000 may be dead! I know many of you are already giving to the need there. But if you are still praying about how to give here are a few "Proven" organizations that are helping. http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ (Headed by Franklin Graham); www.salvationarmyusa.org , www.childhope.org (Headed by Child Hope International); Plus many others. These are the ones who have come to our attention that we know the money is getting directly to the Haitian people!
Most of all please pray! These are real people with real families.... for whom Christ died! Thanks in advance for what the Lord leads you to do! "When we can't see His hand, trust His heart"

Syosset Gospel Church, Long Island, New York 266 Jackson Ave. Syosset, N.Y. 11791 / Tel. (516) 921-2788
Welcome to Syosset Gospel Church.... founded in 1957 by Paul L. Steffens, a 14th generation descendant of the reformer Dr. Martin Luther (1483-1546)
A NonDenominational Christian Church Staying true to Luther's life's theme; "the just shall live by faith", Pastor Steffens continued the four century long family heritage of preaching and teaching the Word of God only. From a strictly nondenominational presentation of Scripture truths, the parishioners receive an unbiased diet of spiritual milk and meat.
Joining his father in 1976, Paul K. Steffens has filled the role of Associate Pastor. Together, both father and son endeavor to remain true and without compromise to the teachings of the Holy Bible.
Its Members Growing in the Lord Since its conception, our fellowship has remained small in size since many of its members, after being nurtured in spiritual matters have moved on to serve the Lord Jesus around the globe. Being a small church has the added benefits of personal, close contacts with parishioners and Pastors.
Spreading the Gospel on LI., New York & Beyond Though small in size, the Church has lifted up its eyes to the harvest fields. In 1993 we launched the The Evangelical Mission Society of America (EMSA), bringing the Gospel to distant lands. Pastor Paul K. Steffens traveled numerous times to Asia and Eastern Europe to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. Upon his journeys abroad he came into contact with suffering orphans in the Communist country of Russia. With an urgent plea from local Christians not to abandon them, EMSA opened up offices in both Moscow, Russia and Tbilisi, the Rep. of Georgia. Since that time, by the grace of God, thousands of orphaned, abused, and handicapped children have heard the liberating truth of the Gospel.
Preaching and Teaching the Truth of God's Word So if you are looking for a small loving church, preaching the truth of God's Word at home and abroad, please come by and check us out.
Who knows?, God may even lead you to become a part of our family!
“To place ourselves in range of God's choicest gifts, we have to walk with God, work with God, lean on God, cling to God, come to have the sense and feel of God, refer all things to God”
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (published February, 1678) is a Christian allegory. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of English literature, has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print.
Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory of a Christian's journey (here represented by a character called 'Christian') from the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City". Along the way he visits such locations as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, the Doubting Castle, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
Bunyan, the author, had very little formal education and a humble background. Nonetheless Pilgrim's Progress is considered one of the masterpieces of English literature, and is required reading for Christians who are on the spritual path in a world of temptations.
