I can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by. How about you college folk? Does the time seem to be flying by as your writing papers, studying, and heavy in the test taking season?? I do not envy the coarse load you must carry! I have been in denial that it is fall, but the weather change leaves me forced to embrace the new season! But I will be counting down the days to the next summer!
Here in Cali, things are busy but steady. It is amazing to watch God work, and to watch it happen in ways you don't even expect. Something none of us could predict is how the Hispanic ministry has taken off here at FBC. We currently have a interum Hispanic Pastor and his name is Daniel Puerto. He's about 24? LOl... and received his ministry degree in Texas. He has such a heart for the Lord and the lost people here in Cali. He is doing a really great job reaching the hispanic community and one way he is doing that is through volleyball tournaments. FBC had their 3rd tournament on Sunday and had another great turn out. They are averaging between 100-150 people at the tournament, including children. They always take time to give testimonies and share the gospel. The tournament on sunday even offered a one day VBS for the children. Some SBU students including Hayley Belt and Nick Burger came down and poured their Jesus love onto these kids!! It was a great day in God's house, and I'm sure there will be more to come!
Sunday I was also reminded through Greg's sermon of how many we have lost in the last year or two. It is really a shock to think of the lifes that have been greived. I would ask that in this coming year as families continue in the grieving process and come upon anniversaries and holidays that you will keep them in your prayers.
In random news - Tonight we will have a mission council meeting and discuss AFRICA! and We will set a date for our church meeting and I will be sure to post that. This weekend will be a busy weekend with the arrival of Kyle Ward. There will be a reception sunday evening at 6pm with music anc cake. No college kid can pass up cake?? LOL Also this saturday is a Women's Brunch at 9 am at the eulinger's. If any of you ladies want to join us, you would be blessed with yummy food and we would be blessed to hear about your lives!!!
Well thats all I have for now! Keep up the hard work and hope to see you all soon!
Prayers and Blessings - Dawn
