Last week we had the AGM (Annual General Meeting) at the PCO and it was good to look back on a year of blessings.
There are plenty of worship opportunities throughout the week at the PCO. For more info, you can always contact the office at www.churchinoman.com
Some highlights of the past year include:
- outreach to the less fortunate through Christmas Joy 2011 and many other outreach programs and gifts through the giving committee.
- “Special services of Good Friday, Easter, Christmas, New Year, Day of Pentecost and the International Day were celebrations of our unity in the midst of our diversity.” (with Christians from more than 45 nations)
- Youth Pastor, Rev. Andre Botha, installed in May, 2011.
- Children’s Pastor, Rev. Diana Willemse, appointed in Nov, 2011.
- Rev. Dr. Barry Dawson-the RCA Minister, (and wife, Shelly) joined us in Sep, 2011.
- Rev. Chris Howitz-Anglican Minister, (and wife Nicole and son Joshua) joined us in Feb, 2012.
- (“We are still waiting for the Lord to guide on the appointment of the Arabic Pastor in due course.”)
- A total of 63 congregations have used our facilities each week.
- Ground-breaking service for the Ruwi Building Project on June 22, 2011
.
It is the hope of the PCO that the new church building in Ruwi will be completed within 9 months. “The total estimated cost for the project is OMR 800,000. We have 50% of the funds needed for the entire project. It is here that we value your prayers and your commitment to make a pledge towards this project…We know God’s work, done in God’s way will not lack God’s provision”.
As you can see, it has been a fruitful year for the PCO and there is much to look forward to in the coming year as well. Soli Deo Gloria!
Andy in Oman 
I praise God for such a glorious report – I am glad you have found a spiritual home there!
Thanks! Of course we are also very thankful to God for such a wonderful church here in Oman! It makes all the difference.
I happy when people pray if they are seeking out the pleasure of God, even if I can’t see the way they are going.
Princess,
We’re just happy that Oman is such a tolerant country! Nice to be able to worship here freely!
Has the new church project been completed? Can you email a few pics if so? Please also post photos regularly of PCO activities, I was in Oman from 1984 till July 2010 and regularly attended PCO services. Ho[e tp be email friends with you as well. Regards. Bro Jacob
Hello, Jacob!
The new church project is under way but quite far from completion I understand. I am not directly involved with the project and don’t have any pics to email to you. As the project progresses, I’ll try to post a few pics if possible in the future. Keep checking back from time to time. I try to get the weekly sermon up when I can for the sake of churchgoers who might have missed church for any number of reasons. It’s also nice for people such as yourself who attended PCO and want to keep themselves updating with events here in Oman. I’m not the best with email but feel free to visit here on the blog and comment when you can and I’ll always get back to you. God bless!
It is great to have such spiritual and social work activities in oman through PCO.
I too interested to involve myself in social work activities.
