Hi, I'm Tom Stevens. My wife Mabel and I are grateful for God's calling us to lives of service. She in teaching children, and I in providing nursing care and supports for people with disabilities. We are both retired from employment now but continue to reach out to people of New England and beyond. We have had the joy of believing in Jesus since our teenage years and know the difference between religion and relationship. This website is dedicated to helping people answer God's call in their lives. We encourage you to reach out to us by using the connect form. We are like grandparents in the faith and would love to be a blessing to you. Rekindle or strengthening your love for God with us. Help New England rise up in faith and service for God's glory.
live in jesus
Jesus entrusted his disciples with the responsibility of continuing his work on earth by spreading the gospel. In Luke’s gospel, Jesus told them, “The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem” (Luke 24:46-47). This same message — of forgiveness, new life, and hope through Christ — has been passed down through the generations. Today, we are blessed not only to hear the gospel, but even more so when it becomes real in our lives — when we personally experience the forgiveness and grace Jesus offers.
REVIVE US
Living through COVID-19 and facing ongoing health challenges has been incredibly difficult for so many people. Several churches have lost members, pastors, and even their buildings. Many have struggled just to stay open. In this time of great darkness, we believe prayer — and uniting together as God’s people — is critical for restoring hope and seeking spiritual renewal. New England, perhaps more than ever before, stands in desperate need of revival. Lord, we humbly ask, please pour out a spirit of prayer across this region and across your church.
pray, gather, & witness
Will you answer God’s call and join the Spirit of God as He moves us to pray and work together for revival in New England? Please encourage your church members to take a few minutes each day — or even each week — to pray that the gospel of Christ will be preached boldly, will spread freely, and will be honored across each state and throughout the United States. We, Mabel and Tom Stevens, humbly ask that every church in New England that honors God and proclaims His gospel would be s strengthened to pray, to gather, and to stand together in faith.
My wife Mabel and I have had the joy of participating in weekly prayer time at the Presbyterian Church of Manchester, CT. We also partner with the missionaries our church supports by getting fresh requests each month and sending out an email highlighting requests, answers, and blessings. We are excited about missions and hope to support a missionary on each continent.
We are thankful to be members of the loving community at P.C.M. We have been blessed by their fellowship since being invited to the Spruce St. building for Easter Sunday by Pastor Scholten's son, Jason. Mabel had tutored him in reading and he wanted us to be part of his family and benefit from his father's ministry. We joyfully became members in February of 2005. It is great to see the Solid Rock Church of GOD continue in that building as we moved to the Lydall St. property which had more parking available and more pews for our families. May God move us all, in our local churches, to help each other know and love our God and heavenly Father, to receive the gospel of his Son, and through faith and believing, to love one another "more and more" as Paul encouraged.
