The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has purchased a historic town in the United States as part of its aggressive expansion program, an official said. The church paid $1.85 million for the 200-year-old Johnsonville town in Connecticut which will serve as its second town in the US. The church has built three congregations in the towns of Bristol, Stamford and Windham in Connecticut, General Auditor Glicerio Santos Jr. said. Johnsonville, a 62-acre property, has been regarded as a “ghost town,” having been abandoned for 20 years. We will also establish our first eco-farming here in the US to create jobs and livelihood in this town,” he added.
