“Jesus said that He would be in the midst of two or three gathered in His name, but this does not mean that our Lord does not like to have a larger crowd.” Bob Jones, Sr.
If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are some items that are currently needed:
1. Milk / Cheese / Eggs
2. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
3. Diapers Size Jumbo
Volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship purchased and delivered eggs, cheese, chicken, beef and chorizo to our Christian home this week.
We continue to look for a legal size locking filing cabinet for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. If you have one or know where we can purchase one at a reasonable price, please contact Tom Martin.
We have great news from Texas. Teresa Weatherly, one of our Mission Partner Angels from the GREAT STATE, has blessed our Christian Mission Outreach with another financial donation. Her donation will be placed in our weekly food fund for our children. As always, thanks so very much for your continued support.
Regina Wheeler has also blessed us with a financial donation for our Christian home. Regina is our newest Mission Partner. If you were in church last week you heard me talk about Rich and Amy Shelton, new Mission Partners from the Washington DC area, and their creative way of financially benefiting our children. We continue to be blessed by the way our Lord works in our lives and our outreach. All donations that come to us by way of the Shelton’s creativity will be used to purchase food for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. Our weekly food fund is always in need of creative and giving people like the Shelton's.

We have a work group from the US that should be arriving on June 14th. Members of the Robert Hollander family and extended family will be helping us with a renovation project that has been approved by Pastor Mancilla and will improve the quality of life for our children. You will have the opportunity to meet the Hollander family at our church Sunday service. Hopefully they will also have the opportunity one of our study groups.
Members of the Jon Green family have also informed us that they will be in Cancun this month and would like to assist at the home on May 28th. We will have more on the Greens next week.
Volunteers from CCF took two boys from our Christian home to the beach Friday. We picked them up at 12:00, took them to Tacos.com for gourmet tacos (they were really great tacos) then to the beach. Keith and Kimberly Wagner shared their lawn chairs, palapa, beach front and their children to help entertain our boys. CCF supplied lunch, cookies, soft drinks and transportation. Jenaro and Enrique had a great time, an afternoon they will remember for years to come.
If you have leather gloves, boots and jeans and would like to join us in our labor of love, we could use your help.
If you would like to join our Mission Partner Welcoming Committee, we would love to have you. For additional information, please contact cherilynmartin@gmail.com.

This has been a great day for GOOD NEWS. First, we just received a call from a group in Indiana that will be here for two week beginning the middle of June. Their desire is to attend our church services and help us launch our new renovation project at Casa Hogar Para Ninos Esperanza. Pastor Mancilla has approved the project and, when completed, will add to the quality of life at our Cancun Christian orphanage. AND, we just talked to Kathy Turner in Alabama. Kathy is doing better and is on the road to recovery. Kathy stated that she has booked their flight ‘to Mexico for June 7th and they will be returning to their Cancun family shortly. It will be great to have them back home. Please join us and keep the Turners in your prayers.

Trish and Ricky Gonzalez purchased enough diapers to keep Jamil dry for the next ten days. Remember, diapers and milk are always needed and appreciated. The Gonzalez family has done a wonderful job of supplying diapers and clothes for our children.
We continue to look for a legal size locking filing cabinet for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. If you have one or know where we can purchase one at a reasonable price, please contact Tom Martin.
Cherilyn and Tom will be entertaining two of OUR children in their home this weekend. A trip to the beach and fish tacos on the square in Puerto Morelos seems to be in the plans.

The Keith and Kimberly Wagner family visited our Sunday Service last week. They well be here for approximately two months and we hope they join us again. It is always nice to see fresh young faces in our service.
With Easter and Semana Santa behind us, church attendance should pick up this week. Mark’s lesson is a continuation of the series on “Secrets”. We have previewed the lesson and know that you will enjoy it.

I worship you Lord! You did not enter your holy city Jerusalem on the back of a war horse, but humbly and on a donkey. You knew that you were surrounded by murderers, yet you came in peace, and by your sacrifice you would utterly conquer death before the week had passed. You, oh Lord, are blessed and worthy of my praise. You have saved your people. I say, "You are my king!"... I long to live in the city where you sit on the throne! Establish your Kingdom, so that your people can live in peace. Jesus, I bow before you, and I will sing your praises until your Kingdom comes and is established, and forever after. David Maddalena
If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are some items that are currently needed:
1. Milk / Cheese / Eggs
2. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
3. Diapers Size Jumbo
4. Baby clothes for a very young lady
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and the sermon will be delivered by Pastor Mike McClenahan with Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, Solana Beach, California. And, of course, next Sunday is Easter Sunday and the sermon will be delivered by Pastor Ed Young with Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas. Special music will be offered Easter Sunday.
Easter Blessings go out to Prince and Kathy Turner, Gary and Marti Mason, Heather and Danny Martinez, Matt and Monette Chain, Harold and Tracy Chapman (along with their extended family), Jack Thomas, Lory Kelly and all other members of our Christian family that are in our hearts but will not in attendance for our Easter service. We wish you were here!
Please join us in extending a Very Special “Thank You” to Katherine Phillips of all she does to make our Sunday service more enjoyable. Katherine is a pleasure to work with and really adds a lot of joy to everything she does.
We wave palms because we have long awaited God's deliverance and now we're within 7 days of it. We wave palms because Jesus shows us life-saving answers when we feel crushed by problems threatening to overcome us. We wave palms because Jesus has set us free from the destructive longings of our fallen nature. We wave palms because, like the pilgrims who came to Jerusalem and gave thanks for their healing by Jesus, we too can really be healed in body, mind, and spirit. Kevin Gray
Volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship purchased and delivered eggs, pork, milk, chicken and beef to our Christian home this week.
If you have not looked at the new pictures on the website, please do so. Every page of the website (http://www.cancunchristianfellowship.com/) contains interesting photos of your Christian family and Mission Partners serving God by serving others.
TJ, Henry and Tom seem to have standing dinner plans in Cancun every Thursday night. If you would like to join their dinner circle, please contact Tom Martin for time and location details. Dinner topics for discussion are usually very interesting. It’s also a lot of fun to watch Henry’s face when the waiter brings the bill.
Practically everyone has known the taste of Palm Sunday, the sweetness of success and popularity, and nearly all of us have tasted the bitterness of Good Friday, of failure and rejection. What saves us from an endless round of ups and downs, what frees us from the tyranny of events over which we have no control is our commitment to press forward in obedience to God. It is to trust in God's love to bring about Easter morning, knowing that the meaning of life is to be found in the knowledge and love of God. It is also in sharing that knowledge and love with those who accompany us on the way. Rev. Richard J. Fairchild
Trish Gonzalez and her family furnished milk and clothes for our Cancun Christian home this week. Last week, we found out that Trish and her daughters were moving to California so the girls could attend school there. They have been attending our church for six years and we are going to miss them.
Ryan, Laurie and the boys furnished diapers for Casa Hogar Para Ninos Esperanza this week. A special thanks to the Lipps for all they do for our children.
As reported last week, we are currently working on a long range, continuous plan for Mission Partners to come to Cancun and assist us with renovations to Casa Hogar. We now have two Mission Partners that have expressed a sincere interest in being the first to join us in our work. Several different ideas are currently being explored.
We are again looking for a legal size locking filing cabinet for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. If you have one or know where we can purchase one at a reasonable price, please contact Tom Martin.

You will meet many very nice people and begin forming lasting relationships while serving God by serving others. It is a WIN WIN invitation.

4/6/2011
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are some items that are currently needed:
1. Milk / Cheese / Eggs
2. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
3. Diapers Size Jumbo
4. Baby clothes for a very young lady
This past week, we have been previewing new music and sermons for our Easter service, the most important service of each year. We can assure you the service we selected is a lesson that you will not want to miss and contains a message that will last you a lifetime. We absolutely know you will enjoy it and look forward to seeing you in church Easter Sunday.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
This week Brant and Renee Ackerman, along with their beautiful children, attended our Sunday Service and visited Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, our Cancun Christian orphanage. While at the home, they played with the children and gave them many items brought from the US including diapers. They also graced us with a financial donation from their church along with a personal family donation. They requested their donation be placed in our food fund. We truly enjoyed their companionship and agreed that we wished they lived in Cancun and belonged to our Christian family. We hope to see them again soon and are happy they have joined our extended family of Mission Partners.
Speaking of the food fund, volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship purchased and delivered eggs, maple syrup, pork, milk, chorizo and beef to the home this week. We also spent time attending to and playing with the children.
The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.
We had the opportunity to meet and bond with Andrea Riemersma. Andie and a friend have been staying at the home and spending quality time with the children. I know all of you remember Renee Loubert from our initial contacts with Pastor and Esther Mancilla. As it turns out, Andie and Renee were roommates in the US and Renee took Andie’s place at the home when she returned to the US last year. Andie’s friend Ben attended today’s men’s group and helped us with the grocery shopping for the home.
And, speaking of the men’s group, today’s meeting was not the same without Gary Mason in attendance. Gary and Marti are again headed north to their “real world” for approximately eight months and they will be missed.
We are currently working on a long range, continuous plan for Mission Partners to come to Cancun and assist us with renovations to Casa Hogar. There is enough work scheduled to keep us busy for the next year. Pastor Mancilla is working on a plan of action and our first group is expected to arrive Good Friday weekend. We will give you more information as we have it.
God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
We had 21 people in church last. Damon Shook offered a great lesson that we all benefited from.
Victoria Alvarez and TJ Carter were Baptized Sunday afternoon in the beautiful cool blue waters of the Caribbean behind Casa Kelly. Many of you showed up for the event and we all thank you for your participation. Cherilyn put a slide show together and we will show it to you in church this Sunday. Sorry, no popcorn or cokes will be available.
We are again extending an invitation to join our Mission Group welcoming committee at Casa Hogar. Don’t look at it as a chore. It is actually a lot of fun and you don’t know what you are missing. Cherilyn and I receive a tremendous amount of joy from the events and we know you will too. You will meet many very nice people and begin forming lasting relationships while serving God by serving others. It is a WIN WIN invitation.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.
New pages and pictures should be up and running on our website by the end of this week. Be sure to look at http://www.cancunchristianfellowship.com/ to get the full story.
A Wednesday Men’s Group is offered by Cancun Christian Fellowship. Please contact Tom Martin at tommartinmx@gmail.com or 998-121-1316 for additional information. The men’s group is presently studying the last week in the life of our Savior.

Also, please contact Cherilyn Martin for more information on the Thursday evening ladies’ group. If you have not attended, you absolutely do not know what you are missing.
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 Americas. We hope to see all of you Sunday. Tom

CCF Newsletter 3/21/2011

Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.
If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are some items that are currently needed:
1. Milk / Cheese / Eggs
2. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
3. Baby Diapers Size Infant for Lorena
4. Baby clothes for a very young lady
With the help of our Mission Partners, in the past several weeks, Cancun Christian Fellowship has continued to purchase and deliver eggs, milk, pork, beef, chicken, chorizo, cheese and diapers to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza.
Gary and Marti Mason continue to make needed donations of Diapers for Ruth Noami. On a sad note, Gary and Marti will be headed back to the US shortly and we will be losing our diaper connection as well as weekly fellowship with our friends. Please remember, diapers are always needed and appreciated. Thanks again Gary and Marti, we are missing you already.
I have been told that we will be getting a shipment of diapers from the US in the next two weeks and will provide further information at that time.
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
We have finished with most repairs and remodels to Casa Hogar. Repairs and improvements included:
1. Complete retile of the pantry area
2. Complete retile of the kitchen
3. The addition of a double sink and new plumbing and fixtures
4. Installation of commercial grade cabinets
5. Installation of below counter top commercial grade doors
6. New sinks, counter top, fixtures, plumbing and a complete repaint in the downstairs girl’s bathroom
7. New windows and screens in Lorena’s room
8. New tile on the counter top between the dining room and the kitchen
Still to go:
1. New window and screen for the upstairs boy’s bathroom
2. New screens on the Pastor and Esther’s bedroom
As you can see, we have been busy. TJ and Brian Schaefer were more than instrumental in bringing the process to reality. Thank you so much!
New pictures will be added to http://www.cancunchristianfellowship.com/ when TJ returns from the US. I will admit that I forgot to copy them off his flash drive.
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
Katherine donated items for baby Ruth Noami. She knows just what the little girl needed.
New Mission Partners, Garth and Eileen Buhr, along with their three daughters, visited our Christian home this week. Many of you had the privilege of meeting the Buhr family in church last Sunday. They brought clothes for the children and made a financial donation to our mission outreach. We will use the donation to purchase a locking filing cabinet and the remainder will go to our weekly food fund. Our hearts and sincere thanks go out to the Buhrs. Welcome to our Cancun Christian family.
Trish and her family donated several bags of young ladies’ clothes along with several packages of diapers. The clothes are beautiful and the girls will look wonderful in them. Cancun Christian Fellowship was happy to deliver the donated items for Trish.
Victoria Alvarez joined recently joined our church and is now very involved with the women’s groups and our mission outreach. Please welcome Victoria when you see her in church.
Don't put a question mark where God put a period.
We will be offering a Baptism Service for Victoria and TJ on Sunday, April 3rd. The service is currently planned for Puerto Morelos. If you would like to be baptized or re-baptized, please contact me for further instructions. The service is open to all members of our Christian family and mission partners. We hope you will attend this special celebration.
