The Testimony of the Local or Area Church is very important. People in the locality or area often know about the Church. Firstly Believers know and then information spreads to the nominal Christians and the non believers. A bad Testimony discredits the Lord and His Church. Let us endeavour to have a good Testimony as a Local Church and as the area Church. (Area Church is the local Churches which gather in a certain area.)
