When Christ who is your life appears...
Apostle Paul wrote to the Colossians, " Christ is your life!", if we think about it today, what does it really mean?
I love this quote: "This is the kind of peak of devotion which we can only dimly and only haltingly and imperfectly express, sometimes we say of a man, " Music is his life, Sport is his life, He life for his work," Such a man finds life and all that it means in music in sport, in work, as the case may be, for the christian, christ is his life".
And today, I asked myself Christ is your life? and the beauty of this, is to remember " your life is hidden with Christ in God!"... Praise God! for such amazing truth!...
As a family and Christ's followers, this is our prayer "Live Christ in us"... And we trust in God, who will continue revealing His plan in us.

Mike is training them to see later the future leadership of Christ Fellowship. Also, I have the blessing to be a Translator and be part of this important time for our family church.
Thanks so much for your prayers! Almost one month ago, we started a Bible English Study, Well, it was the best idea to English Reading to Manuel and Geronimo. But for that we are using the Bible.
We started reading The Gospel of Mark. It's amazing to see how God's word is working in Manuel and Geronimo hearts.
Praise God, for let me develop His plan in involving the local church into discipleship. We are so thankful for our dear brother David Criger, who is giving his home to develop the discipleship meetings.

Building Strong Relationships
We love to see what God is doing among The family Arguellos ( Carlos, Judith and Carlitos). God really bless us with them and we can say the same in behalf of Christ Fellowship.
We are so Grateful to God in provided furnitures, dishes, sofas, tables for the Arguello's. Let me remember you that they are looking for the Political Asylum for the difficult situation of their country Venezuela. God used our family in the faith, that it means our families from our mother church Christ Presbyterian Church and also families from Christ Fellowship to help them in their beginnings here.
January and February, we had with them Bible Studies, This is a blessing for us because we can see God working among us to have a team to connect more latinos. Also, we can say that we meet two Ladies through Carlos and Judith, their names are Alicia and Adelaida. They are from Cuba. Yesterday they visit Christ Fellowship, really we are so grateful with God!!
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise...

Please pray for us, we need the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ to accomplish what God call us to do, like apostle Paul asked to the Philippians
for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:19-21
