Christmas at Casa Hogar para Ninos Experanza

It may seem a little early to some but Christmas is closer than you think and we need to start planning for the children’s Christmas at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, our Christian home in Bonfil.

Last year we held a Christmas decorating party (wow, what a great success), purchased gifts for the children and several of our volunteers attended a Christmas Eve gathering at the home with Pastor Mancilla, Esther Mancilla and the children.

This year, we are again asking that you and your family consider adopting one or more of our children for Christmas. Your $50.00 donation will help provide Christmas for a child that our Father has placed in our care.

Many of you have visited the home and enjoyed Christian fellowship with our volunteers and the children while others have followed and supported our work through our website, blog and Face Book.

Pictures of last year’s Christmas activities are in the Gallery section of our website (www.cancunchristianfellowship.com) and we invite you to experience the joy of serving God by serving others.

If you have questions, thoughts or simply desire additional information, contact Cherilyn Martin (cherilynmartin@gmail.com) or Tom Martin (tommartinmx@gmail.com). Your love, prayers and support are sincerely appreciated.

We have two new Mission Partners this week. Maria Ali and Rick Conley, both of Houston, have honored us with financial donations to benefit our Christian home.

Our food supply money always seems to be on the verge of critical and your donations, along with your confidence in our work, are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Speaking of donations to our food fund, Andrew Barrey, a Mission Partner from the US has increased his commitment to our work through another financial donation. Andrew asked that the donation be used to benefit our home and we have already added it to the food fund. Thanks Andrew…it will only be about fourteen months before you and your wife join our Cancun family on a permanent basis. It’s a great place to live, worship and serve our Father and we look forward to having you.

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.

“He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.”  Thomas a Kempis

We are very happy to report that Cancun Christian Fellowship has received another financial donation from Teresa Weatherly to benefit our children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza.

No matter where you are, you are part of our family.

“Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks the perception and experience of life as a gift. My resentment tells me that I don't receive what I deserve. It always manifests itself in envy."  Henri J. M. Nouwen

Last week’s Mission Partners work group at our Cancun Christian orphanage was absolutely fantastic. The Hatfield’s and the Hollander’s are amazing families and we are extremely pleased to have them as Mission Partners. Words cannot express our appreciation to them for their work and their fellowship. Henry, Katherine and Santiago assisted but it was clear from the start that our new Mission Partners were in complete control. Thank you and may our Father bless you and all you do in His service.

While we are on the subject, we have received inquiries from other Christian groups in the United States that have found and are following our work through our website, blogsite and facebook and desire to join us as Mission Partners in our Christian Mission Outreach. Our Father continues to provide for our children.

Remember: This Sunday, July 3rd is our Pizza luncheon at Shakey’s Pizza. We will meet at Malecon las Americas at 1:00. All church members and Mission Partners are invited to attend and there is a playground for the children. Come hungry and have fun with your Cancun Christian family. We hope to see all of you there.

Kim Wagner has suffered a mishap with her foot and is currently in pain and experiencing a lack of mobility. Please keep Kim in your prayers.

“I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking: "My name is I am." I waited and God continued: "When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I was. When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I will be. When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM." Helen Mellincost

We trust all of you are enjoying our much needed rain. Besides the greening effect and dust control, the rain makes sleeping in a non-air conditioned casa a pleasure.

This Sunday’s service will be presented by Mark Shook and Dr. Damon Shook and is titled “The Secret to Satisfaction”. Bring the children and enjoy the Service.

Esther Mancilla is out of the hospital and getting as much rest as possible at the home. All will agree that she is a remarkable lady. We ask you to Please keep her in your prayers.

Romans 10:9-11 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

We have work scheduled for next week at Casa Hogar Para Ninos Esperanza. The Hollander and Hatfield families will be showing off their painting skills. The final rewards of their work will provide additional income for our Christian home.

The Lipp boys continue to keep our children in diapers. Thanks guys.

Harry Cuneaz, our newest Mission Partner, has honored us with a financial donation to our Christian home food fund and joined our list of Mission Partners. Thanks Harry, your assistance is really appreciated.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

This week’s Men’s Group lesson is titled “Are You Saved” and a lesson that all men should hear and discuss. We hope to see you there.
