Conclusion
We have witnessed the blessings of the Lord on Abilene Bible Church in a marvelous way as He has demonstrated His ability to use the willingness of His servants to accomplish His purpose for the Body of Christ in this Age of Grace. We trust that this congregation will rest upon the promises of God, that we will trust and obey Him as we act upon His charge to us to "go and tell" the Good News of salvation through His Son to a world in need. To God be the glory!
The history of Abilene Bible Church, written in 1987, was distributed in 1989 during our Year of Jubilee, a celebration of the fifty years of ministry of Dr. Joe Temple.
On December 13, 1990, Dr. Joe Temple went home to be with the Lord, and since that time, Abilene Bible Church has continued to thrive under the leadership of his son, Dr. Tim Temple.
In 1994, Josias Mendoza of the Spanish congregation left Abilene to further his education at the Central American Theological Seminary in Guatemala. After working in Tucson, Arizona, and the surrounding area, Josias is now with the Mexican Evangelical Association in Mexico, working in the areas of church planting and camp ministry.
In May, 2006 Abilene Bible Church purchased the buildings and property at 3125 Oldham Lane which were previously owned by the regional council of the Girl Scouts. The buildings were very well suited for the needs of the church. We were able to move in by August. Several remodeling projects are in the works and a design for a new sanctuary is being draw up by architects. We are very excited about our new location and look forward to serving the Lord where He has placed us.
In May, 2009, Dr. Tim Temple retired as pastor of Abilene Bible Church. God provided a new pastor, Daiqing Yuan, to begin pastoring this church in June of
2009.
Abilene Bible Church continues to seek the Lord's direction in adopting new ministries in order that we may continue to offer Bible teaching in the most accessible forms. We continue to marvel at God's provision to meet the needs of His people, and we continue to trust Him as we send out His Word. | |
