Here was another example of the miracle of the harvest. Within three weeks of opening their thousand seat capacity new facility, they were forced to go to three services to make room for everyone. That was in 1984. Today Maranatha Fellowship continues to grow. In addition Bil has been able to start four spin-off churches in nearby Rochester and neighboring areas. A stone's throw from the church stands a tall silo in the town of Farmington. History has borne out the vision that God provided at that prayer meeting. God's many proddings to get Bil Gallatin where he was called to minister have brought astounding results. Calvary Chapel has seen great harvest in upstate New York, where it already has become one of the largest churches in the region. And Bil is a deeply contented man. He has come a staggering distance from that kitchen floor, where he was set free by the power of God. Not even the wildest dreamer would have ventured to notion that such a man would one day be the humble, strong, and balanced pastor that God would use to build a church of 3,000 from scratch.
