Pastor Tom Ruiz Visits

Weds. Evening we were blessed to have Pastor Tom Ruiz from Okinawa come and share God's word with us. Him and his daughter Hannah and Matt Hallman lead worship. It was a great evening. The fellowship afterwards was blessed and joyful.

Ladies Fellowship Evening

The women have been abundantly blessed this past week as Joanna Ruiz has been here from Okinawa, Japan.The women gathered at Jeanne's home for a potluck fellowship. Joanna then encouraged each lady through God's word to build up her house in the ways of the Lord...being a wise women! It was lots of fun and we have truly been blessed by Joanna this past week. We pray that has she goes back to Okinawa God would continue to bless her and use her greatly!

"Spurred on in Faith" Conference

The young girls and women gathered together to be spurred on in their faith. We began our day with a delicious lunch and then were blessed by worship from Hannah Ruiz. Joanna and Hannah Ruiz from Okinawa, Japan and Rachel Zabel taught on being encouraged in our Faith that we may run with endurance in our relationship with Jesus. We were spurred on and blessed with awesome fellowship and time in prayer.

Sneak Peak into our Nursery

The most lovable place in our building ;) How we love the babies of our church, and pray God's blessings upon them and that they would grow up feeling His love and grow into amazing young children and then adults who love the Lord their God with all their heart and minds and souls!

Family Dedication

We are always excited when a family says that they have a desire to raise their children in the ways of the Lord. Sunday, that is just what Bobby and Kristen Bilderback have said. They have dedicated all 4 of their children to the Lord and have asked God to guide them in their journey of raising Godly children.

CM Training Meeting

We were truly blessed this past Sunday to have Joanna Ruiz from Okinawa, Japan here to encourage our CM servants in the way of the Master Teacher, Jesus himself. We were encouraged to love,pray and teach the children in the ways that Jesus himself had demonstrated throughout His ministry. If you were unable to make it to the meeting please request a copy of it as we have recorded it.

Mission's Day

The missions Team (from left to right; Brandon,Jay Holden,Jackie,Brian,Annie Horner,Rachel Zabel,Adina and Francis Celestine, Jeanne Hallman and Pastor Tom up top) have safely made it back home and we had an awesome service Sunday hearing and seeing all that God did in and through them. It was a blessing to hear each of them share their hearts. Here are a few things God put upon their hearts.

Jay Holden was challenged to live each day in the moment..not to be so caught up in the agenda things that you miss the God things. He was touched by the way the people in Trinidad and Guyana were never on a time table, never late, always had time to just stop and wait.

Jackie Horner challenged us to take steps of faith and to just go and trust that God will work everything out! It was exciting to see how God used Jackie to provide medical care for the children on this missions trip. It is a characteristic of Christ that she showed as she provided the same love and care for the 50th kid that came as she did to the 1st one she saw.
Brian Horner was used on this trip to provide the word of God to the people and he was also able to minister to many people there. His heart was touched by the peoples dedication and commitment to go to church to seek Jesus...as the people there had to travel by man made canoes through the jungle in the dark to get to and from church...how we should be inspired by their love for Jesus! Yet here in America we allow weather, distance and activities keep us from church.

Annie Horner was a blessing to this trip...she was a great help in the medical clinic and with the children. She was humbled by the joy these people had in small things and the contentment that each one had. She went on this trip with the heart to bless the people and was blown away how they blessed her in return.

Rachel Zabel heart was forever transformed. She found that being busy with the things of the Lord brought great fulfillment! Rachel was able to see God's provision for this trip and has seen first hand that where God leads He provides as she was blessed with a lot of financial help in order to make this trip. She was an amazing servant of the Lord and used greatly to minister to young girl and children.

Adina Celestine was able to go back home for this trip as her family is from Trinidad. She was blessed to see God begin a great work in restoration in her parents life. She is excited as family members were saved and baptized on this trip.

Francis Celestine also was used greatly in his homeland. He was able to go back home and bring the word of God. He is excited to see all that God has for the people of Trinidad and Guyana.

Jeanne Hallman was amazed at the hand of God throughout this trip. She spoke of how she witness and saw the things of God...deaf girl learning to sign, people being saved, the desire to know God and seek more, the heart of loving servants. She was truly blessed and stretched spiritually through this trip.

Pastor Tom was able to go out and bring God's word to the people. He spoke of the unity God brought in this missions team and how God formed them and gave them great joy even when they were tired for there work in Trinidad and Guyana.

The over all theme that each of them shared was how God give a call and when you obediently respond He will do Great and Mighty things!
