En nuestro mundo actual es común medir  el éxito por la cantidad de dinero que posees, el tamaño de casa que posees, el tipo de automóvil que conduces, etc. Hace algún tiempo un consiervo me pregunto cuántos miembros tenía mi iglesia, dándome a entender que el éxito en el ministerio se mide necesariamente por la cantidad de feligreses que concurren. Si el éxito en la vida se midiera por la cantidad de títulos, bienes, o tal cantidad de miembros, Noé seria el hombre mas fracasado de la historia. Noé predicó el mensaje de Dios a la gente de su generación por 120 años y no obtuvo ni un solo convertido. ¿Cómo mides el éxito en la vida? No estoy negando la importancia de obtener logros en la vida. Recuerdo muy bien a un sabio profesor del seminario Bíblico que dijo una vez, “el éxito en la vida no está necesariamente en acumular gran cantidad de bienes terrenales o logros personales, sino en hacer lo que Dios nos dijo que hagamos” Noé anduvo siempre fielmente con Dios, haciendo lo que Él le dijo que hiciera. ¿Cuál es la misión que Dios te encomendó? Toma un minuto para meditar.

Mily and John Mark plan their wedding for Saturday, April 23. It has been our privilege to have John Mark living in our CIC Mission’s Guest Room and joining us for our Tuesday morning devotions. They have visited several area churches, presenting their vision as a couple, serving in the Middle East. Please maintain your prayer and financial support for Mily and John Mark.

Jimmy & Yaqueline Salas are our missionaries, living and working in churches in - and around Cobija. Jimmy also travels to cities around Bolivia leading Envoy Mission Seminars. Yaqueline serves in children’s ministries in their home church in Cobija.

Inocencio and Daria were our very first missionaries. They have faithfully served in Oromomo for more than 5 years. Their home is always open for Bible Studies, counseling and just showing love to everyone along the rivers in the Beni. Because of the floods in the Beni and an annual health check-up for Daria, Inocencio and Daria have been with their family in the Chaparre. They intend to return to Oromomo the last week of March. Please continue your prayer and financial support for this amazing ministry.

Red Vida Esperanza is directed by Dr. Jorge Gareca and a team of other healthcare professionals. They travel monthly to rearely visited areas in the provinces of Potosi, Chuquisaca and Cochabamba. They work with children, with community social needs - all demonstrating the love of God to meet practical and spiritual needs.

Carla Rojas Cuba is serving in a church in England for one year. She works with children, women and young people. Life is always a challenge when you miss home, the familiarity of faithful friends and "normal" food. Let's keep Carlita in our prayers.

Operation Miracle is our newest mission venture. A group from the CIC join with jovenes from other area churches every Sunday afternoon to visit children in area hospitals with the love of Jesus Christ. They use music, drama, games and lots of hugs.

Mily and John Mark will be with us Monday, the 21st of February. Let's celebrate their return and shower them with love. We will have the chance to hear their testimonies. Testimonies of friends learning about Jesus Christ through acts of kindness, testimonies of romance and testimonies of their commitment to missions. Expect to be challenged. Are each of us who call ourselves BELIEVERS also faithful DISCIPLES? Are those of us who are DISCIPLES also MISSIONARIES wherever God has us today?

Jimmy Salas is our missionary, living and working in churches in - and around Cobija. Jimmy also travels to cities around Bolivia leading Envoy Mission Seminars. There is romance also in Jimmy's life - her name is Yaqueline and their wedding is Saturday the 19th of February!

Apreciados hermanos,

El pastor Graham escribió en MÁS QUE UN DOMINGO (Boletín CIC) estas palabras:

“El Rey David era un hombre que tenia la pasión de conocer el Corazón de Dios. El pinta el cuadro de un ciervo cansado por recorrer peñascos y senderos y de repente llega a un campo con un arroyo que fluye. Bramando el ciervo se detiene en el arroyo de agua cristalina, mira el agua fresca e inconsciente de su alrededor, mete su cabeza y absorbe el agua fresca en su boca. La frescura saludable de esa agua recorre por todo su cuerpo, luego levanta su cabeza refrescada. Tu día podría estar como el que David describe en Salmo 25- y quizás necesitas la refrescante y curativa agua de la Palabra de Dios. Bebe profundamente de Él y piensa en alguien que necesita exactamente lo que recibiste- el toque amoroso de Dios. Haz una llamada, escribe una nota en Facebook o visita a alguien con algún pequeño presente”

Te animo hoy a pensar en estas palabras y beber de la fuente inagotable de la Palabra de Dios. Que El te llene de Su amor, paz y gracia.

No te olvides del Men’s Breakfast este sábado 13 de noviembre a horas 7am en CIC. Debes confirmar tu asistencia al pastor Graham Porter. Te esperamos! favor pasa la voz.

• Pray with us so that we may decide wisely.  We need another data display so we can project to the rear of the auditorium, helping the Worship team and speakers; need an office photocopier; need radios for translation (only about 20 of the original 50 remain).

• We have designated some for repairs around the Office: several roofing tiles are broken and canaletas need repaired.

• Anita Paz has served faithfully as translator for over a year - with only a few breaks. Thank you!!! She has asked to be out of the rotation through the end of the year. Thank you Anita!

• 5 people attended church last Sunday as a result of reading the OH Articles for the past 5 years. We thank the Lord for His faithfulness.

• Our missionaries now include: Mily (scheduled to return in Jan. 2011 and be married to John in April); Inosencio y Daria (now in the Chapare getting medical help and visiting family for 3 weeks); Jimmy Salas (in Cobija serving 8 churches as Youth Pastor); Dr. Jorge Gareca (serving in Potosi, Chuquisaca and Cochabamba with medical teams)

• Our 10 Year Anniversary Celebration is beginning to take shape. Gregg Bryce will open our week on Sunday, 17 April. Arnell Motz ( Founder Pastor) is considering closing the week on Sunday, 24 April. We're looking to have other days of celebration - possibly Friday and Saturday nights.
