A Year To Remember, A Day To Live!

When you look back on the year 2012, what stands out to you? In what ways have you grown? In what ways have you seen setbacks? If you could change anything that was done or said, what would it be? Is there anyone who needs to forgive you or you need to forgive? Was there a hug you wanted to give and now cannot? Is there an "I love you" that you can no longer hear from someone you wish you could? A lot of things happen in a day much more in 365 of them. There are many things I wish I would have done differently this year. I thank God that He gave us more than one day this year, we need time to learn and grow.
This year is almost gone and many are looking forward to a brand new year, planning and dreaming. Plans and dreams are good and necessary but let's not forget that both are reached one day at a time. Live everyday seeking God's Kingdom first and you will live a life without regrets.

God bless you all and your families,

She would visit the church before, but stopped because of work and other things, but in the last months, she not only started coming again, but brought her daughter too. Some Sundays ago I offered a Bible study, and she accepted happily (I was happy too). So then Ramiro and I began to meet weekly with her to study the book of John. We talked about the importance of baptism and about whether her baptism was Bib

Unity Through The Word

Thank you all for your prayers for the PORMISSOES meeting last month. It was a great blessing. We sat and studied God's Word together for the entire day. There were some differences of understanding on some passages, but we worked our way through them. In the end, everyone was saying how the meeting was edifying. It started around 9:30 am. We broke for lunch at 1 pm. We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm. They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm. If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven. My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought processes and share their own understanding from the Bible. My hope is that God's Word is heard above their personal wants, desires, or traditions. This is no
