“Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.” Corrie Ten Boom

With the financial help of our worldwide Mission Partners, volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship purchased and delivered a week’s supply of eggs, cheese, chicken, chorizo, pork and milk to our Cancun Christian home. Groceries are purchased and delivered every Wednesday. If you would like to make a donation to the Casa Hogar Food Fund, please tell Cherilyn or Tom.

Sixteen Church Members and Mission Partners attended last Sunday’s pizza luncheon. Everyone had a great time and we can assure you that nobody went home hungry. If you were not there, you missed a great gathering with your Cancun Christian family.

The children at the home are on Summer Vacation and full of life. If you have an extra shot of energy, why not stop by the “CASA” and spend some quality time with them? Your love and attention will go a long way.

“The badge of courage does not require that we walk through something dangerous. It simply requires that we continue to share God's love whenever and wherever we are.” Tom White

For those of you that frequently travel to the US, this will not mean much but, we have discovered that Chedraui on Kabah across from Soriana now has Frito Scoops. WOW! They are not in the chip section but are on the rack right as you walk in the front door. They taste wonderful and bring back fond memories. ENJOY!

We have received a financial donation from the Wayne Shaw family in Kansas. The Shaw’s are special friends, friends that our Father placed in our care a short time ago…friends that we will never forget. There donation will be used to purchase groceries for our children. Thank you for your support and for joining our family of Mission Partners.

This Sunday’s service will be presented by Dr. Damon Shook and is titled “Wake Up and Live Now”. Dr. Shook’s “Old School” approach to our Sunday service is always enjoyed. We hope to see all of you this Sunday.

We are happy to report that we had five guests in church last Sunday. It is very nice to see new faces enjoying our Sunday lesson and sharing fellowship with new friends.
