Since 2006, people from many different walks of life have been gathering each Wednesday at 12 noon to worship, pray and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. These meetings are held at ReverendCeleste's house in Old Bethpage, NY, where she teaches, exhorts, and encourages from the word of God, and follows the leading of the Holy Spirit in prophetic ministry. Each time we gather with hearts that are hungry for God, the Lord meets with us. Reverend Celeste leads us in prayer for the sick (James 5:15), for the needy, for our communities, and for our Nation. "Abiding in the Vine Ministries" also regularly gives alms to the poor and less fortunate. Wednesday meetings have been a tremendous blessing to many who receive emotional healing and support, and prayerful, biblical counsel to help face the difficult circumstances in their lives. This has been at the heart of "Abiding in the Vine Ministries": Reverend Celeste’s loving heart of faith, servanthood, and vision to spread the gospel and God’s love are evident, as her ministry has produced much fruit (Matthew 7:17-20) "Abiding in the Vine Ministries" has been spreading God’s love to other nations since 2012. ReverendCeleste hosts many missionaries from all over the world who come and speak at the meetings. ReverendCeleste also forms and leads groups of believers connected with "Abiding in the Vine" who travel abroad with her on mission trips. As a good shepherd raises up leaders, Rev. Celeste recognizes people’s gifts, and has helped to guide many into God’s calling for their lives. Many have become missionaries and ministers of the gospel. Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me. To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.”
