SPONSOR A CHILD FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s that time of year when we start 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.

New mission partners, Jim and Linda Lipp made a financial contribution to the children’s Christmas at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. Your contribution is truly appreciated and we hope to see you soon.

You will never know He is all you need until He is all you have. And when He is all you have, then you will know He is all you need!

Cancun Christian Fellowship donated and delivered Pork, Chicken, Beef and eggs to our Cancun Christian orphanage today.

A children’s Christmas donation was received from Brian Schaefer, a loyal mission partner from Cancun. Brian has helped us in the past and his continued support is truly appreciated.

Brant and Claudia Boston, also Cancun mission partners, blessed us with a donation for the children’s Christmas. Thank you for helping to make this the best Christmas ever for the children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza.

The Wednesday women’s study group donated Christmas dresses for the young girls at the orphanage. Laurie Lipp’s mother, Terri Kemble, purchased the dresses in the US and ladies from the group delivered them today

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).

When you kneel before God you can stand before anyone!

Feedback concerning our new church location has been very positive. Most find it more convenient and all agree the acoustics are much better.

The bicycles that TJ and Henry repaired are holding up well and are getting constant use.

A mission group from the US worked at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza last week and did a great job of repainting the interior of the lower level of the orphanage.

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 the orphanage. Cherilyn and I plan 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 you join us.

You are no fool when give what you cannot keep, to gain what you cannot lose.

I received an email from Kathy Turner stating that she had procured several sets of twin bed sheets for the children’s beds at the orphanage. She will deliver them on their next church visit. Twin sheet sets are always a welcomed item if you run across them at garage sales.

New mission activity pictures have been posted to the website this week. You can view them by clicking http://www.cancunchristianfellowship.com/ . It will take you directly to the website. Added was a great picture of Pastor Mancilla, Henry and TJ at work and some of the young children eating spaghetti.

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

And for my friends that don’t know You, I pray that You would save them too!
