A note from us...
...But whoever keeps and teaches my commandments, he shall be called Great in the Kingdom of Heaven! - Matthew 5:19b

Welcome to our June edition! The Lord has blessed us with another great month of ministry. We've had lots of fun with our "inviting contest" and we are still ministering on 'guarding your heart' in our regular church service. More details below.

'Inviting Contest'
We just finished our inviting contest. The contest consisted of rewarding the children for inviting their friends to the childrens service. The prizes consisted of a bicycle, skateboards, basketball, badminton and food prizes for the lower rewards. Our Grand Prize winner, Ken, scored 39 points. Points were awarded: 1 for a first time visitor, and 1/2 for kids who haven't visited us for a while. The second place winner was Oliver who had 35 points. We had 75+ kids saved and over 136 visitors, most new, during the 5 week contest. We love to see children born again, but we also want to see them discipled in our church. Our highest attendance was 140 during this time. Praise God!!!!

We are excited about our new web site. We have totally redone the site, it now has a blog, (fancy online diary)that we document each week's events, and a monthly devotion . There is a video you can watch, for fast Internet connections, and much more. You can read about our 'A-kids' (pictured) who were just blessed with notebooks, backpacks, T-shirts for their attendance and memory verse recitation. If you haven't been to the site for a while, then check it out. It is our way to keep you updated and involved in a weekly basis. We want you to be involved!

Prayer Point: One way that we lose children is through their parents forbidding them to come once they find out that we are not Catholic. It's a tool the enemy uses to hold some here. Religion, is a better word. Pray that these kids will have favor from their parents and that they will encourage them to come.

In Closing...
For the last five weeks as a church we have been praying the Ephesian prayers found in Eph 1:16-23 and 3:14-19 with great results. This prayer is a now a cornerstone of our church.

We are calling for light and truth, or revelation knowledge and according to Ephesians, TRUTH is key to standing against the deception of the devil.

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles (tricks, snares, traps and strategies) of the   devil.

Eph 6:14 Stand therefore... with truth...

In Revelation 20:3 "and cast him (satan) into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more..."

Deception is key in satan's strategies to kill, steal and destroy you!!!

This is why the Spirit of God inspired  the Apostle Paul to record this anointed prayer. The truth that you know and do is what makes you free from deception. Join us in making this apart of your daily prayers.

With Love,
Mark and Verna, David and Jillian
