Whitefield, NH
On Sunday June 26, a good number of believers publicly identified themselves as charter members of the Victory Baptist Church and officially called Pastor Dan Boyce, who led in planting this church, to be their first Pastor. Dr. and Mrs. Terry Smith and Pastor Joe Roof and his family were able to take part in this special day and were deeply touched by the devotion, hospitality, and generosity of this congregation and the Boyce family. God has blessed the early days of this new work in many ways and we look forward to many more blessings as we lift up this precious ministry in our prayers.

From God’s Word
The church and the Country are being bombarded with false doctrine. The modified Universalist theology of Rob Bell is being read by millions. Instead of believing the Bible truth that a loving God provides redemption for those who believe in Christ, Bell teaches that God will provide redemption for all whether or not they believe. The Gay theology of the liberal churches and liberal politicians denies fundamental truth about the Bible’s teachings on marriage, human sexuality, creation, and a host of other doctrines. It threatens the future existence of American society. They want all the Christians who disagree with them to shut up or face punishment for speaking up. The nutty theology of Harold Camping teaches that a “spiritual” rapture took place on May 21 and that this was the last day anyone could be saved. Family Radio is still teaching that the world will end on October 21. These false teachings are the tip of the iceberg.
“Hold Fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.” (2 Tim. 1:14-15)
