My pastor, who ministers to a largely expat parish here, told me he feared he would lose 60 percent of his congregants this summer. 我的牧师负责这里一个主要由外籍人员构成的教区,他告诉我,他担心今年夏天自己会失去60%的教众。
"I'm taking my life back step by step, and I wanted to come home and this is my home," he told congregants Sunday at the Galilee Missionary Baptist Church in northwest Houston. “我正慢慢让我的生活步入正轨,我想回家,而这儿正是我的家。”上周日,他在休斯顿西北的加利利浸信会教堂对教友们如是说。
