1935年隆比罕姊妹接受真耶稣教会真理后,到附近的许多村庄传福音,她原是个多神论者,拜大树、大石头,并具有邪术异能,后来信奉天主教。

斗亚兰教会的陈约翰执事向她见证真道,带领她归真。1938年中,加达延安加接受真道后,有许多人也跟随信主,其中一位巴志拉撒(今西门执事)是隆比罕姊妹之儿子,因病蒙主医治而受洗。

之前他曾激烈的反对真道,曾经用脚踢其正在祷告中的母亲,并未踢中目标,反而失足跌倒,昏迷不省人事。此区的信徒是以西门执事家为聚会所。

1942至1945年间,第二次大战影响真道进展。战争结束后,会众议决建盖会堂,于1946年创建首座会堂,按立隆比罕为女执事、西门及雅各二位执事。因信徒人数激增,于1951年再重建一所较宽阔的会堂。此村庄的村民大部份都接受了真道,并分设了丁宝及所摩顿二处教会。

湾谷教会进展迅速,并与邻近的五间教会通力合作传扬福音。现今会堂已经重建,拥有教室及厨房等的设备。现有信徒人数132人,三位执事。

Wangkod Church

After Sis. Lumbihan accepted the truth of the True Jesus Church, she went to the nearby villages to propagate the gospel. Prior to this, she was a pagan, worshiping big trees, big rocks and possessed evil supernatural power. Later she embraced the Roman Catholic faith. It was Dn. John Chin of the Tuaran Church who testified to her and led her to the truth .

After Kadayang Bin Angkal accepted the truth in the mid 1938, many followed suite. Among them was Bacheh Lasak(now Dn. Simon) son of Sis. Lumbihan after he was healed of his serious ailment. Prior to his conversion, he was very much against the truth to the extend of trying to kick his own mother while she was praying, but he missed and fell and became unconscious. The believers in this area made use of Dn. Simons house as the place of worship.

The progress of the church then was affected by the Second World War from 1942 to 1945. After the War ended, the congregation resolved that a church be constructed. The first church was completed in 1946 followed by the ordinations of Sis. Lumbihan as Deaconess, Simon and James as Deacons. Due to the ever increase of believers, another much bigger church was constructed in the year 1951. Most of the villagers had accepted the truth and had also branched out two churches to Timbou and Somondon respectively.

The Wangkod Church progressed swiftly and propagated the truth with the collaboration of the five churches nearby. The Church has been rebuilt with classrooms and kitchen facilities. The present membership is 132 with 3 Deacons.
