Dear Church Family, 

Acts 16:16-34 tells a remarkable story of faith in the midst of suffering. Paul and Silas were unjustly imprisoned, beaten, and chained. Yet, instead of despairing, they worshiped. Their prayers and songs filled the prison—until an earthquake shook the foundations, opening the doors and breaking their chains. 

But they didn’t run. Instead, they stayed, showing mercy to the jailer, who fell before them and asked, “What must I do to be saved?” Paul’s answer was simple: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” That night, the jailer and his family were baptized, transformed by grace. 

Friends, maybe today you feel bound—by fear, pain, or circumstances beyond your control. But God is moving. Even in the darkest places, He is breaking chains, opening doors, and leading hearts to freedom. 

You are not alone. Jesus walks with you, and our church family stands beside you. If you ever need prayer, a listening ear, or a reminder of God’s love, I’m here. 

Blessings and peace,

Pastor Ben
