Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

If we read Hebrews chapter 11 is talking about Faith,we will find a list of men, who “Trusted in God”,and also we can see many stories, miracles, and incredible events that they could see as a witness because they “trusted in God”… Faith Always is connected with Trust!

"Faith sets no limits on God's power and submits itself to His will"

Hebrews 11:6  ESV

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

We are so Grateful to see God working among Christ Fellowship, and it includes us as part of their family.

September 17^th, amazing day it has been. As my brother Mike Winebrenner said : We adopted new church members, performed an adult baptism, immersed four young people (include our son Esteban) in Palmer Home Lake. Because mode of baptism won’t divide us! We are One in Christ.

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

"for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries". 1 Corinthians 16:9

"For the Lord opened up a way for him for the furtherance of the gospel. He calls this a great door, because he could gain many. He calls it effectual, inasmuch as the Lord blessed his labor, and rendered his doctrine effectual by the power of His Spirit. We see, then, how this holy man sought everywhere Christ’s glory, and did not select a place with a view to his own convenience or his own pleasure; but simply looked to this — where he might do most good, and serve his Lord with most abundant fruit; and in addition to this, he did not merely not shrink back from hardships, but presented himself, of his own accord, where he saw that he would have to contend more keenly, and with greater difficulty. For the reason why he remained  was, that many adversaries were at hand; and the better equipped he was for enduring their assault, he required to be so much the better prepared, and the more resolute".              

                                                        John Calvin

Philippians 1:19-21

Hebrews 6:9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end...

For God is not unrighteous - God will do no wrong. He will not forget or fail to reward the endeavors of his people to promote his glory, and to do good. The meaning here is, that by their kindness in ministering to the wants of the saints, they had given full evidence of true piety. If God should forget that, it would be “unrighteous:

First because there was a propriety that it should be remembered; and, second because it is expressly promised that it shall not fail of reward; Matthew 10:42

Albert Barnes



July was “ Encouragment ” Month to Christ family Church.

“Aloving church must learn to encourage one another ” as boletines church said...

We still taking oportunities to gather with Latinos Families to encouraged, sheperd and love them. An oportunity to encourage was the invitation from Lesly´s friend, her name is Mary. She invited us to her house in Tunica to celebrate the arrival of her daugther from Honduras. The last time, Mary saw her daugther was 10 years ago!... It was a really special moment, also Mary asked me to share the Word of God and prayed for them. Please pray for them to visit Christ Fellowship!

My new Skater Friend

Another oportunity to Encourage one another was a month ago. I met Edward Pidgeon. He is the founder of Hernando Skate Park. I went to the park with my kids to ride their bicycles. We spent a really good time and I talked to Edward many things, between them he told me that he went to my country in 1974. It was amazing for both of us that Edward met a Peruvian in Hernando years later! Let me share Edward´s Post on Facebook that I didn´t know until a week ago when I sent to him a Facebook friend request

Philippians 1:19-21

2 Timothy 4: I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."


As Paul comes to the end of his letter, he wishes to nerve and to challenge Timothy to his task. Also is the same challenge for us today!

Jesus is the judge of the living and the dead. Some day Timothy's work will be tested, and that by none other than Jesus himself. A Christian must do every task in such a way that he can offer it to Christ. He is not concerned with either the criticism or the verdict of men. The one thing he covets is the "Well done!" of Jesus Christ. If we all did our work in that spirit, the difference would be incalculable. It would save us from the touchy spirit which is offended by criticism; it would save us from the self-important spirit which is concerned with personal rights and personal prestige; it would save us from the self-centered spirit which demands thanks and praise for its every act; it would even save us from being hurt by men's ingratitude. William Barclay

We always say in Christ Fellowship “ We are a family, but we always are adopting ”

As a Missionary family is amazing to see families who we encouraged a couple years ago as is the case of Whitthens family. We met them since 2012, and God use circumstances to be connected  and invited them  in 2015 to Christ Fellowship  and now they join to us as a members! Also, Arguellos Family, is very encouragement to see in them their love for Christ Fellowship.Praise God who is the only one who brings the spiritual growth.
