SPONSOR A CHILD FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s that time of year when we start to think how we can make a difference in one child’s life for Christmas. We are asking for Sponsors for the children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, the Cancun Christian orphanage. We have 14 children’s wishes to make come true so please search your heart and help with your $50.00 donation for one child. You can give in person or through our PayPal account (tom@cdymexico.com). Thank you for helping to make these children’s wishes come alive.

Please note: Community of Faith Church Sunday services are now being held at the Hotel B2B behind the Bull Fight Arena. We are meeting in room B1 and the services begin at 10:00 AM. For those of your with young children, there is a nursery in room B2.

We are called to influence the world, not to be influenced by the world

We have received a welcomed financial donation from Kay and Bill Gibbs, new mission partners from the US. The Gibbs requested their donation be used to purchase Christmas gifts for the children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, “the Cancun Christian Orphanage”. Thank you for your assistance.

Cherilyn has started making special ornaments for the children’s Christmas tree this week. Each ornament will have the picture of one of the children on it so they will each have their own ornament on the tree.

Kathy and Prince made a financial donation to our mission activity and it could not have come at a better time. Guys, you are the best. Many thanks for your continued confidence.

Speaking of the Turners, they are among a handful of senior members of our church. Nancy Marroquin, Ryan Lipp and the Turners have all been with our church over ten years. They have remained loyal through name changes, pastor changes and many location changes. You see them in church on Sunday but did you know that they are part of the select few that helped hold it all together. Thank you so very much.

Don’t tell God how big the storm is – Tell the storm how big your God is

Cancun Christian Fellowship donated and delivered cereal, maple syrup and eggs to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza today.

All members of Community of Faith English Church have been invited to have Christmas Eve Dinner with Pastor and Esther Mancilla and the children at the orphanage. Cherilyn and I plan to attend. If you and your family would like to join us, please tell us in advance so we can give Esther a “head count”. We hope you join us.

Henry and TJ again took time out of their schedules to repair doors at the Cancun Christian orphanage. This time I did have my camera and pictures will be posted on our website. Please check our site to see men at work.

In the past ten days, we have mailed out over 500 mission request letters. Website and Blog Spot readership has grown tremendously this month. Face Book has also been added to the Cancun Christian Fellowship Blog Spot to make it easier for some “Techies” to keep up with our activities. If you have a minute you might find it interesting reading.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows but only empties today of its strength

Trish and her daughters donated a case of milk and requested that we deliver it to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza for them. Thanks for the donation Trish, we delivered it for you on Monday.

TJ located, donated and he and Henry delivered a refrigerator to the orphanage this week. They have been short on refrigeration for some time now. Now that is Christian teamwork in action.

Your Mission Activity Committee met today. A plan of action for the month of November was agreed on and will be implemented. Christmas and the orphanage was also discussed and agreed on. Thanks to all members of the committee for your continued support.

If you have a non-food donation (clothing, toys, books, games etc) please bring the item(s) and give them to Cherilyn or Laurie for sorting and distribution. It will allow us to make better use of donated items.

Of course, food items should always be delivered on Wednesday. If you take a food donation to the orphanage, please send us an email telling us what you donated. It will keep us from duplicating your donation and allow us to put funds in other needed food areas. If you want to make a food donation but do not have time to go to the orphanage, we will be happy to deliver your donation for you on Wednesday.

Before a person can be saved they must first learn that they cannot save themselves

If you were not in church Sunday, we missed you. Remember, church now starts at 10:00 AM. We hope to see all of you Sunday. Tom
