People are funny; they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.

If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are some items that are currently needed:
1. Locking file cabinet
2. Whole milk
3. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)

With the help of our Mission Partners, Cancun Christian Fellowship purchased and delivered eggs, milk, pork, chicken, cereal and diapers to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza this week.

One of our beloved Mission Partners donated Children’s New Testament Bibles in Spanish and assorted other Spanish reading material to our Cancun Christian Orphanage.

Sunday, February 6th, marks the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of our Christian family’s new English service in Cancun. In the last year, we have seen many of our friends and church family leave Cancun forever. As in the past, we will never seem some of them again except in our fond memories. As we have stated many times, for many of us, our church family is the only family we have here. Fortunately, our Father has a plan for replenishment and new members continue to join our family. I hope that our church family appreciates what we have, when we have it and that 2011 will be a year of membership growth and not decline. When you greet each other in church, hold that hug or handshake a few seconds longer and share your love and happiness with your Christian family. It is our desire that our mission outreach continue to grow as we serve God by serving others. As more of our family members discover the joy of serving others, along with the help of our Mission Partners around the world, we will have the tools necessary to make 2011 the greatest year ever in the history of our church.

Speaking of church, why not bring a friend or neighbor with you and let them meet your Christian family. It might be just what they are missing in their life.

No one has contacted us concerning a good location to have our next church luncheon. Please put your thinking caps on and help us by offering some great ideas.

Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.

Jimmy Williams, a great guy that I am glad to call a friend, has joined our extended family of Mission Partners through his financial donation to our mission outreach. Jimmy, we hope you will visit Cancun and share in our work first hand. You are part of our family.

If you are interested in becoming a “greeter” for groups that visit the orphanage, please contact Cherilyn. She will be happy to let you know when we have a group arriving and your participation would be greatly appreciated.

Five men attended the men’s group at the Italian Coffee Company today. It was a great lesson on Eternal Life.

Ladies, if you are not attending the Women’s Christian Group, you are missing out on fellowship with ladies that care about and support you. Cherilyn and Laurie have meeting details they would love to share with you.
