SPONSOR A CHILD FOR CHRISTMAS
It’s that time of year when we need to think how we can make a difference in one child’s life for Christmas. We are asking for Sponsors for the children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, the Cancun Christian orphanage. We have 14 children’s wishes to make come true so please search your heart and help with your $50.00 donation for one child. You can give in person or through our PayPal account (tom@cdymexico.com). Thank you for helping to make these children’s wishes come alive.
If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Cancun Christian Fellowship donated and delivered Beef, Chicken, Eggs, Cereal, Lunch Box Snacks and Rice to our Cancun Christian orphanage today. We also delivered clothes, curtain fabric and the fitted plastic mattress covers that had been donated by Don and Carolyn Pfennig.
Many members of Community of Faith English Church have made “Children’s Christmas” donations and they are dearly appreciated. For numerous reasons, the newsletter will only reflect acknowledgement information concerning donations from our non-church “Mission Partners”. They are the ones that give to us by FAITH not sight, having confidence in our work and what we strive to accomplish as servants of God serving others.
Teresa Weatherly, one of our truly devoted mission partners in the US, has blessed us with another financial donation, this one to be used for the children’s Christmas. As always Teresa, your continued confidence in our mission activity is greatly appreciated.
In keeping with the season, “Cartoon Night” at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza will be a little different in December. A mission partner from Playa del Carmen as furnished us with a DVD copy of Mickey Mouse Celebrates Christmas. The movie duration is 77 minutes and, as always, we are looking for helpers. Please contact us for details.
Children’s Christmas sponsors: It is a pleasure to acknowledge new mission partners that have sponsored childen for Christmas this past week. Please welcome to our family Hollis and Sue Scott, Mike and Pam Harris, Kevin and Sharon Harris, Joey and Tiffeni Briones, Friends of Cancun Christian Fellowship in Playa del Carmen and Santa’s Helpers with the Cancun Wednesday Ladies’ Group. It goes without saying that it would not be Christmas for the children without your help. Thank you.
WE HAVE WONDERFUL NEWS! Wendy Sombito, our Guardian Angel with 2nd Baptist Church in Houston, will furnish Dr. Ed Young’s Christmas Service sermon for us this year. You enjoyed Dr. Young’s Easter sermon last year and his Christmas sermons are equally as good. It is faithful servants like Wendy that keep us going. Wendy, you really are our ANGEL.
We are looking for a Christmas Tree for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. If you have an extra one, desire to donate one or know someone that would like to donate one, please have them contact us or tell us so we can contact them. Cancun Christian Fellowship will be furnishing new lights, ornaments and decorations.
Pastor Mancilla donated several Children’s Bibles to Community of Faith English Church. The Bibles are in English and make bedtime Bible reading with your younger children enjoyable. I can testify that they are great reading for adults also. If you would like a Children’s Bible, please send me an email and I will be happy to give it to you in church (while supplies last).
You are the only Bible some may ever read. The greatest testimony you have is not what you say you have, but how you live.
If:
• If you enjoy attending church services
• If you find our new location comfortable
• If you feel welcome
• If you feel like you are part of beneficial mission activity
• If you find the sermon content meaningful
• If you feel your opinion matters
• If you feel you are part of a Christian family
Then: Why not invite someone to attend church services with you? When Christ is at work in your life it is your responsibility to tell someone! It may be just exactly what they need to hear, to give them faith that God can work in their life, too!
I am happy to tell you that Dan Grounds, a twenty+ year friend, fishing and hunter partner from Texas, that has been on our mailing list for some time, recognized the value and need of our mission work and acknowledged it with a welcomed donation to benefit the children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, the Cancun Christian orphanage. Dan, from the bottom of our hearts…THANK YOU, your generosity is overwhelming!
Members of our church received this warm email wish from the Pastor Mancilla family:
Dear Pastor Tom & wife:
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. It is just a beautiful day. We hope you will all find yourselves around the table with family or friends this Thanksgiving day and be thankful for each other and for what we have, and for God's love to us. "Happy Thanks Giving from the Mancilla"
Pastor. Ascencio M. Mancilla.
All members of Community of Faith English Church have been invited to have Christmas Eve Dinner with Pastor and Esther Mancilla and the children at our Christian orphanage. Cherilyn and I have made plans to attend. If you and your family would like to join us, please tell us in advance so we can give Esther a “head count”. We hope to see you there.
Leoncio and Amy Dominguez and their two children just moved from Tennessee to Cancun and visited our church last Sunday. It is nice to see new “young Christians” attending our service. Please welcome the Dominguez family to our family.
God is in control and Satan is on the prowl. Be humble before God and be alert to Satan's devices.
“If you are born once, you will die twice. If you are born twice, you will die once" Remember Sunday’s sermon?
If you have a non-food donation (clothing, toys, books, games etc) please bring the item(s) and give them to Cherilyn or Laurie for sorting and distribution. It will allow us to make better use of donated items.
Of course, food items should always be delivered on Wednesday. If you take a food donation to the orphanage, please send us an email telling us what you donated. It will keep us from duplicating your donation and allow us to put funds in other needed food areas. If you want to make a food donation but do not have time to go to the orphanage, we will be happy to deliver your donation for you on Wednesday.
This Sunday, November 28th is Communion Sunday at church. We will be viewing a special service, “Know That You Know” by Dr. Ed Young, Second Baptist Church Houston. I review the sermon yesterday and found it to be very meaningful.
A Wednesday Men’s Group is offered by Cancun Christian Fellowship. For information, please contact Tom Martin. tommartin@inbox.com or 998-121-1316.
A Wednesday Ladies’ Group also meets in Cancun. For information, please contact Cherilyn Martin. cherilynmartin@inbox.com or 998-121-1315.
If you were not in church last Sunday, we missed you. Remember, church now meets at 10:00 AM, Floor B1 at Hotel B2B behind the bull fight arena just east of Avenida Bonampak and Malecon Las Americas. We hope to see all of you Sunday. Tom
And for my friends that don’t know You, I pray that You would save them too!

"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." Mother Teresa
Please note: Community of Faith Church services are moving to Hotel B2B behind the Bull Fight Arena this week (November 7th). We will be meeting in room B1 and the service will begin at 10:00 AM. We feel the room will be much more “user friendly” and we absolutely KNOW the acoustics will be better. We are doing a “dry run service” to make sure we are ready to go this Sunday.
Our very own Juliette donated a case of milk to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza and asked that we deliver it this Wednesday. Thanks bunches Juliette.
New mission partners Joe and Grace Holland made a welcomed financial donation this week. The funds were used to purchase two cases of milk that were delivered today. The Holland’s confidence in our mission activity and financial support is greatly appreciated. Welcome to our mission family!
Cancun Christian Fellowship donated and delivered four kilos of ground beef, five kilos of chicken, five kilos of pork, three pallets of eggs and five boxes of lunchbox size snacks to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza today.
We can't change the hearts of people, but can do what's in our hands and hearts, by sharing God's perfect love with others and letting that love be expressed in our behavior.
At the close of church last Sunday, we discussed the changes made in the Sunday service and the response was lively. We will be running the new service format for several weeks and then we are looking for feedback on the changes and/or additional changes you would like to see.
I received a surprise email last week from Carolyn Pfennig, our newest mission partner in the United States. The Pfennigs are on our mailing list and Carolyn informed me that she had purchased all the plastic mattress covers needed for the younger children at the orphanage. She will be shipping them to us in the next few days. Thank you so very much Carolyn. The covers WILL make a huge difference in the ongoing health of the children.
TJ continues to post updated information about our church and our ongoing mission activity on chat boards around Cancun. As TJ wrote me, “Every little bit helps”. If you visit chat boards dealing with life in Cancun, please take a lead from TJ and tell others about the church, what we are doing and extend an invitation to join us. You never know who you will touch.
The men’s group is presently studying Evangelism, Witnessing, Testimony and Discipleship and what God expects us of us as Christians. It is our responsibility to tell others about the life changing power of a relationship with Jesus.
"As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others." Charles Spurgeon
TJ picked up and delivered two more bicycles to the orphanage today. One was a small girl’s bicycle and the other was a small boy’s bicycle. TJ is doing his best to keep all bicycles in working order and his efforts are appreciated.
Website Update: Our website and Blog continues to gain readership. We feel that most views are from people that we mailed mission requests to. Here is the way it breaks down:
August: 83 Views
September: 111 Views
October: 127 Views
With viewers from: US, Canada, Argentina, China, UK, Colombia, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Japan, Slovenia, Denmark, Mexico, Israel, South Africa and Russia. It’s just a matter of time!
The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others.
If you have a non-food donation (clothing, toys, books, games etc) please bring the item(s) and give them to Cherilyn or Laurie for sorting and distribution. It will allow us to make better use of donated items.
Of course, food items should always be delivered on Wednesday. If you take a food donation to the orphanage, please send us an email telling us what you donated. It will keep us from duplicating your donation and allow us to put funds in other needed food areas. If you want to make a food donation but do not have time to go to the orphanage, we will be happy to deliver your donation for you on Wednesday.
If you were not in church Sunday, we missed you. Remember, church now starts at 10:00 AM. We hope to see all of you Sunday. Tom

Please note: Community of Faith Church services are moving to Hotel B2B behind the Bull Fight Arena this week (November 7th). We will be meeting in room B1 and the service will begin at 10:00 AM. We feel the room will be much more “user friendly” and we absolutely KNOW the acoustics will be better. We are doing a “dry run service” to make sure we are ready to go this Sunday.
Our very own Juliette donated a case of milk to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza and asked that we deliver it this Wednesday. Thanks bunches Juliette.
New mission partners Joe and Grace Holland made a welcomed financial donation this week. The funds were used to purchase two cases of milk that were delivered today. The Holland’s confidence in our mission activity and financial support is greatly appreciated. Welcome to our mission family!
Cancun Christian Fellowship donated and delivered four kilos of ground beef, five kilos of chicken, five kilos of pork, three pallets of eggs and five boxes of lunchbox size snacks to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza today.
We can't change the hearts of people, but can do what's in our hands and hearts, by sharing God's perfect love with others and letting that love be expressed in our behavior.
At the close of church last Sunday, we discussed the changes made in the Sunday service and the response was lively. We will be running the new service format for several weeks and then we are looking for feedback on the changes and/or additional changes you would like to see.
I received a surprise email last week from Carolyn Pfennig, our newest mission partner in the United States. The Pfennigs are on our mailing list and Carolyn informed me that she had purchased all the plastic mattress covers needed for the younger children at the orphanage. She will be shipping them to us in the next few days. Thank you so very much Carolyn. The covers WILL make a huge difference in the ongoing health of the children.
TJ continues to post updated information about our church and our ongoing mission activity on chat boards around Cancun. As TJ wrote me, “Every little bit helps”. If you visit chat boards dealing with life in Cancun, please take a lead from TJ and tell others about the church, what we are doing and extend an invitation to join us. You never know who you will touch.
The men’s group is presently studying Evangelism, Witnessing, Testimony and Discipleship and what God expects us of us as Christians. It is our responsibility to tell others about the life changing power of a relationship with Jesus.
"As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others." Charles Spurgeon
TJ picked up and delivered two more bicycles to the orphanage today. One was a small girl’s bicycle and the other was a small boy’s bicycle. TJ is doing his best to keep all bicycles in working order and his efforts are appreciated.
Website Update: Our website and Blog continues to gain readership. We feel that most views are from people that we mailed mission requests to. Here is the way it breaks down:
August: 83 Views
September: 111 Views
October: 127 Views
With viewers from: US, Canada, Argentina, China, UK, Colombia, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Japan, Slovenia, Denmark, Mexico, Israel, South Africa and Russia. It’s just a matter of time!
The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others.
If you have a non-food donation (clothing, toys, books, games etc) please bring the item(s) and give them to Cherilyn or Laurie for sorting and distribution. It will allow us to make better use of donated items.
Of course, food items should always be delivered on Wednesday. If you take a food donation to the orphanage, please send us an email telling us what you donated. It will keep us from duplicating your donation and allow us to put funds in other needed food areas. If you want to make a food donation but do not have time to go to the orphanage, we will be happy to deliver your donation for you on Wednesday.
If you were not in church Sunday, we missed you. Remember, church now starts at 10:00 AM. We hope to see all of you Sunday. Tom
