LORD, DO IT AGAIN #2

The predecessor (Mount Zion Baptist Church later called Angel Baptist Church) of Rehoboth Church (Angel) in the chapel on Chadwell Street had a rich and varied history. In the first 100 years of her history 10 men were called out of the church to serve the churches of London and the surrounding area as lay preachers. During the same time frame another 23 men were called out of the church to serve as pastors. One of these men (Mr. Hutchinson) left the church at Chadwell Street in 1901 to serve as pastor of the Strict Baptist Church on Park Ridings, Wood Green. This is the present day location of Rehoboth Church (Wood Green). In addition, the church sent out 10 missionaries to serve on the foreign mission field. Truly this church had a profound impact on the spread of the gospel in London and beyond. Lord, do it again.
