Count no day lost in which you waited your turn, took only your share and sought advantage over no one. ~Robert Brault

If you are considering a commodity contribution to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are items that are currently needed:
1. Children’s summer clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
2. Clothes specifically for young ladies ages 6-11

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. ~Robert Brault

If you are in the Riviera Maya and have clothing or commodity contributions for our children, please contact Cherilyn Martin … all items must be sorted and sized before Wednesday delivery. Please strive to make sure all items offered are clean and serviceable.

Looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life- and it was you. It is not too late to find that person again. ~Robert Brault

With the financial help of our worldwide Mission Partners, volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship were able to provide eggs, cheese, chorizo, molida especial, pork and chicken to our Cancun Christian home. Groceries are purchased and delivered every week.

Through the blackest night, morning gently tiptoes, feeling its way to dawn. ~Robert Brault

We are very blessed to continue to have Sunday guests in church. Don’t ever forget that they have a choice of how they spend their Sunday morning in Cancun. Please welcome them and treat them like long lost family.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn. ~Author Unknown

Mark is back and our lesson this Sunday will be on “Home Field Advantage”. This the first lesson in a new series presented by Mark and Laura Shook. We have previewed the lesson and we feel you will find it very beneficial. We hope to see all of you this Sunday.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. ~M. Kathleen Casey

This week’s pre-church fishing video will feature the Flip Pallot, host of the Walker’s Cay Chronicles. Join Flip as he fishes the interior rivers of Alaska. Good fishing and beautiful scenery … what else can you ask for. As always, there is enough fishing action to please even the diehard angler. Join us at 9:25 AM, relax and enjoy the show.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. ~Robert Fulghum

The Great Commission - A Personal Instruction

Matthew 28:16-20: 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The Great Commission is one of the most significant passages in the Holy Bible. First, it's the last recorded personal instruction given by Jesus to His disciples. Second, it's a special calling from Jesus Christ to all His followers to take specific action while on this earth. We have identified five principles of Christian Evangelism that we would like for you to consider. This week we will look at principle five.

5. Be Prepared for What You May Face
Many non-Christians have a vision of witnessing and evangelism that involves Christians "in your face" about faith. Some will avoid any discussion of religion, because they have had some very bad experiences with "forceful" Christians. Others will have misconceptions about God's nature. By practicing your evangelistic techniques you will find that talking to others about the Gospel will come easier over time.

When your life flashes before your eyes, make sure you've got plenty to watch. ~Author unknown

We continue to talk about stepping up and belonging to the church instead of simply attending the church. We are happy to tell you that Jean and George have volunteered to deliver church informational handouts to the hotel zone. Below are opportunities that currently need to be filled:

What to do with your one life? The same thing you would do if you had two lives, and this was the second. ~Robert Brault

An apology is a good way to have the last word. ~Author Unknown
