Youth Mission team takes a leap of Faith

The construction continues on the hotel mission training center in Chan Chen.

We are building a eight room hotel to house mission teams and train the locals to work with tourist.

Why do we keep going and giving?

Another trip out to small village of Chan Chen and another one planed for Friday. You might ask why do we keep on going and giving? I'm not trying to sound "Spiritual" but we are commanded to Go.... Second we love the people of Chan Chen and we want them to know and experience the love of Christ.

Be careful what songs you sing

The words to one of the songs we often sing at church goes something this

"Brokenness, brokenness is what I long for
Brokenness is what I need"

I sometimes wonder if God is listening to the words of our worship songs. This weekend it seemed like he most have heard this song. Have you ever had a Sunday when everything broke. Or maybe God heard this Song that we sing a lot:

"When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart"

You would not believe all the things that stop working this Sunday. I had worked all night Sat. reformatting the hard drive on my computer it was working great Sunday Morning and then for some unknown reason it would not work at all for the church services Sunday. Then the Sound System died at Paamul. So we had Fellowship Church unplugged in Paamul Sunday night. I had lost my sermon notes in the computer crash but for the most part I remembered my sermon. I also broke my glasses can you believe it. All was broken, no computer, no sound system, no sight, And my heart was also broken Sunday as I discovered that a good friend had really made some poor choices that is going to hurt many people. But in the middle of all this we still saw God at work.
After the service we checked out the sound system and the computer and it all worked great.


Coleman and his team of youth have been a great encouragement. They are getting to see missions life up close and we are learning once again life is not about stuff.

Pray for our Sunday Services

We have had a busy week. We are seeing God continue to change lives. Last night at one of the small groups one young lady found new life is Christ as his open her heart to HIM..

Pray for our men as we celebrate family day tomorrow........
