Join us on March 27 2021 at 10am (GMT+8) in our PITH Talk Show 6 as we interview 2 elders from smaller towns in Malaysia. They will share what God has done in their assemblies in the hope that it will bring encouragement and new insights about expanding God’s kingdom in small towns.
What can help a church to grow? What if it is located in a town with just one main street? Is the growth of a local church limited by its location? Or is it its demographics? Will it grow if it has children and young adults no matter where it is located?
