FROM YOUR ASSOCIATIONAL MISSIONARY
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day and our love for our loved ones. Let’s be reminded of the greatest love ever shown to mankind. God sent us His son because of a love that our human minds can’t comprehend! Jesus died for us and our sins because of His compassion and love for us! One has to think, where would I be today if there had not been such a love shown to me? In His Service, Bobby
NEWS FROM Misión Casa Hi all! Things at Mision Casa keep marching on! In the fall of 2014, we relocated to a more central location at First Baptist Church Family Life Center. This has been and continues to be a huge blessing to us. We are seeing a rise in our numbers and have begun to see several new faces since the move. Thanks to all at FBC for making this possible and making us feel welcome! We had a great holiday season! Thanks to the generosity of the believers in Laurens county, we were able to bless 4 families in very difficult situations with food and gifts this Christmas. We personally visited each family, shared with them the true meaning of Christmas and gave them the gifts that were provided by sponsors from Laurens county/LBA churches. They were and are all so thankful to the sponsors who helped them this year and so are we! Please join us in praying for these families. Thanks for making it possible for us to reach our people group. How can we help you reach yours? En Cristo, Moises, Amy, Rebecca, Jose and Marcos Sanchez __________________________________________________ Bluewater Baptist Church "Kids In Action" are having a Movie Night Fundraiser on Friday, January 30, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the church to
