A heartbeat is a tiny thing that doesn't make much noise. The impact of a heartbeat can be fully appreciated when it stops. Immanuel Ministries in the little Village of Java, NY is a small church that has a nonstop heartbeat that sends love all over the world.
Pastors Scott and Jen Johnson are genuine hometown folks who open up their hearts to everybody. All visitors are greeted with a hug, a handshake, a smile and a listening ear. The heartbeat of compassion can be heard in the atmosphere created they create in the name of Love.
They support ministries in the Java/Arcade Area, Buffalo and internationally. Prayer is probably the main food served at Immanuel. Sunday morning services are real displays of tender love and gratitude for God and each other. Bible studies for men and women are focused on equipping people to get out and serve people as examples of Christ's love.
They also have a support ministry for folks struggling with addiction or living in dysfunction called Overcomers Outreach.
We're grateful for Pastors Scott and Jen Johnson. Through them and their Church, God is using Immanuel Ministries to create a Bright Spot in the world. They're proving how small things can change the world. A tiny heartbeat can be the echo of eternal love. That's pretty big. We've posted some more information about Immanuel below, please go visit them and listen to their heartbeat.
