Book excerpt: LEARN OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MINISTRIES OF A BELIEVER, AND HOW OUR PRECIOUS GOD SEES IT "Altar" means lifted up or elevated space. Every time we visit the altar, we should leave uplifted, strengthened, encouraged, enlightened, and changed. Strongly driven to fulfill the will of God for his life, Pastor Trevor St Aubyn Parris became the founder and visionary of the Nassau Tabernacle of Praise in Elmont, New York in January 2001. By the grace of God, the church has grown and the Lord is doing new and exciting things in the ministry. This is Pastor Trevor's first book but you will not be able to tell because it is insightful, fresh, and thought-provoking. Rest assured, as you read you will be encouraged, inspired, empowered, and uplifted. You will see how important it is to establish a meeting place with God. I can prophesy that, whether you are a Christian or non-Christian, God will show up to have conversations with you just like he did in Genesis.
