Verse of The Day

“ "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matthew 5:43-45)

Session I: "The Truth About Discipling"

What is discipling?  Is it Biblical?  What did we do right in the past?  What was broken?  

Is having a one another relationship the same as a discipling relationship?  How 

necessary is discipling to the church.  What is the truth about discipling? This is the class 

that will attempt to answer these questions.

Session II: "The Heart of the Matter"

How can we have intimate, spiritual iron sharpening iron relationships?  What are the 

practical steps to building life changing friendships?  How can we make sure 

these relationships are safe?  What is the role of confidentiality?  What are the forces that 

conspire against us?  This class is a practical guide to great relationships.

Haiti Wednesday Report

Wednesday, January 20 2010
150 still missing.  Church plans relocation to Mirebalais.

Dr Mark Ottenweller reports by phone that it went well in Haiti distributing food, water, and medicine to the disciples who are suffering in Port-au-Prince.  Mark and Stanley Dumornay have now left Haiti and drove across the border to the Dominican Republic.  They will be flying home to the USA on Wednesday.

The situation in Port-au-Prince is still desperate.  Roads are blocked.  There is no communication.  So far 9 disciples and 12 family members are dead.  The number of missing in the church is about 150.  Some of those may have gone to be with family or relatives.  Others may simply be stuck in a neighborhood with no mobility.  Certainly some have perished.  We may not know the number who perished for a few more weeks.
 
Latest News From Haiti

Brothers and sisters,

What I have seen over the last few hours is beyond what I imagined. The scary thing is that there is more to see...

We made it into Port au Prince from Dominican Republic safely by the grace of God. I must admit that I was pretty nervous. But God opened the way for us and guided us safely all the way to the church's property were the disciples welcomed us as if we were angels of God. I am sobered by the display of courage I have seen in these brothers and sisters. Many of them have lost homes, employment, not to mention loved ones in the disaster. Yet they are still able to smile, sing and pray and serve others." Evangelist Jorel says" I had a place to live and many other things yet I had worries. Now, I have no place to live and very little yet I have less worries." This sentiment is shared by most of the disciples.

The faith of the church has been built up in spite of this catastrophe. Now that many have nothing...they really understand Paul's word that "if we have food and clothing we should be content."
