susan boyle

i amaze wow she sings.... man really values outward appearance, but who knows on the inside? poor human race we are all train to look on good things only not examining things before reacting.

Praise God because He is not human just the way we are but HE is God. He is God alone from the time begun....

I Sam 16: 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Thanks God!

Susan will continue to be a star in her own way nothing can stop even her appearance or age like David over his brothers.

Street Children during our Good News Class...

I'm blessed when i saw these senario while teaching them! They enjoyed singing the song "You and Me",afterwards I explain the song to them. During the Bible Lesson I'm amazed how God moves because that's the only time I seen them without movements while listening to me. I can see to their eyes the excitement in hearing the Word of God. Pray that these children will grow in the knowledge of His Word and apply it to their lives... I thank God for his Word that is alive!

blessings!

Praise God for a loptop and digital camera!

My Good News Club® (GNC™)

Let me share with you something about my Good News Club® (GNC™):I praise God for the opportunity to conduct two new GNCs. This is in addition to my existing GNC. The first new GNC was to follow up the street children who attended the Street Children Camp last December. With the help of my co-worker, we started the weekly meeting last January 9. The venue is near the BPI in Masinag, Antipolo. Praise God for His provision of snacks through Starbucks.
I also praise God for 11 children who were reached with nine professions of faith in the Lord Jesus during an Open Air Evangelism in Santolan, Pasig last January 10. To follow up on them, we had our second new Good News Club which started last week. It was attended by 21 children who eagerly listened and some of them responded to the invitation to receive the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thankfully, my former GNC has now resumed. These boys and girls are my neighbors, where my little sister and some nephews are part of. Praise God for new children who started to attend just this year..

CEF Phils 23rd National Conference

I thank God for the opportunity to attend our 23rd National Conference held in Caliraya, Laguna last January 27 to February 1. Attending the Conference was truly refreshing, challenging me to a deeper relationship with our God. Once again, I was privileged to listen to the CEF Inc President, Mr. Reese Kauffman who was our main Bible speaker. Likewise, I was blessed through the other speakers, lecturers and reporters; rekindling my burden for lost boys and girls no matter what.

WHY TRUE LOVE WAITS

by Tim Stafford

If you stood up in class and encouraged others to follow God's plan for sex, people would think you were trying to outlaw happiness.

You'd have to work hard to explain that God is not against sex. In fact, he considers it something good. It was, after all, his idea. God could have made us reproduce the way plants do, with floating spores and pollen. But he preferred human life to spring from the exultant, loving embrace of intercourse. So it only makes sense that the all-knowing God who invented sex should know how it can best be celebrated. God wouldn't sacrifice his own Son to redeem us, and then turn around to arbitrarily spoil our fun.
A lot of people do feel it's spoiling their party if someone says sex outside of marriage is wrong. But where exactly is this party? Oh, maybe some people are having fun, but people on the whole are having a miserable time. You can't cut the statistics to read any other way. AIDS, divorce, adultery, abortion, and unwanted pregnancies add up to something other than fun.
When God gives direction for sex, he does it either to protect us from harm, or to provide for our needs. Or both.

The Bible is very frank about sex. There's not a prudish note from Genesis to Revelation.
A whole book (the Song of Solomon) celebrates the sensuality of erotic love. The Bible reflects exactly the attitude you'd expect from an inventor writing about his invention. God, better than anyone else, appreciates what his invention means. He understands how it works and knows exactly what it's good for. He tells us how to use it—and how not to.

So what is God's view of sex? Simple: Sex is wonderful within marriage. Outside of marriage, it's an offense to the inventor.

Why marriage? Isn't a really committed relationship close enough? Nope. According to the Bible, only the commitment a man and a woman make in the ceremony of marriage counts. Marriage is the only place to experience truly committed love, love that echoes our relationship with God.
Husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church. He gave up his life for her. … In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife (Ephesians 5:25, 28).
It was that way from the beginning, when Adam and Eve were created and presented to each other by God:

"At last!" Adam exclaimed.

"She is part of my own flesh and bone!" … This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Now, although Adam and his wife were both naked, neither of them felt any shame (Genesis 2:23-25).

That's the ideal, the dream, as the Bible sees it: total nakedness, total unity, total love, total sexual satisfaction within marriage. Plenty of marital problems parade the pages of Scripture—God is no fool. But the ideal stands above the failures.
The Bible doesn't mince words about behavior that falls short of the ideal. Jesus, particularly, made his views plain. Though he never married, he spoke with absolute authority (like an inventor) against abuses like fornication (sex between people who are not married), adultery and divorce. He said of married people:
Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together (Matthew 19:6).
Paul had the same words of advice:
Our bodies were not made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. … Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which belongs to Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! … Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body (1 Corinthians 6:13, 15, 18-20).
God wants your marriage bed to be pure because he cares for you. He wants to protect you from the worst. He wants to provide for you the very best.
But what if two people love each other? What if they know they'll marry someday? Why should they wait?
It may seem that being deeply in love is enough to bond two people together forever. But God says it's not. Marriage is more than just love. It's a promise of lifelong commitment—a promise made in front of others. And those who save sex for marriage are rewarded in two ways:
Honeymoon virginity. Virgins may be nervous on their wedding night. But that's good. You ought to be nervous for the biggest night of your life. For virgins, everything is about to change. They will delve into mysteries they have wondered about all their lives. They will unfold those mysteries with the person they love more than any other. That's worth celebrating. For the sexually experienced, however, a honeymoon is merely a nice vacation.
You only get one "first time" in life. There is great joy in experiencing it with the person to whom you've just publicly committed your life. But that's only possible if you wait.
Total commitment. When you're used to having sex without total commitment, it may be hard to understand what totally surrendering your life to another person is all about. If, earlier in your life, sex merely meant, "I'm strongly attracted to you," it is not easy to change your thinking to, "I give myself wholly and exclusively to you."
Virgins are uniquely able to give their total selves to love in a marriage. That's why "the first time" is such a big deal. You are giving your total self to the one great love of your life.
It's not easy to resist the temptations and pressures to have sex before marriage. But if you want to experience sex the way God meant for it to be, the surest way is to experience no other kind of sex. It's tough to wait for, certainly. But most good things are.

A Harvest of Souls!

Christmas is always a busy time of the year. With all the festivities, it is easy for us to get side tracked from the true meaning of the celebration. How needful that boys and girls hear the true message of Christmas "…making the best use of the time, because the days are evil…". (Ephesians 5:16)

Here were opportunities God gave us to minister to children during the Christmas season:

Dec 2- 4 : Street Children Camp 2008

(see other blog)

Dec 13 : Christmas Party Club for Good News Clubbers

Praise God for 118 children from different Good News Clubs® who attended the Christmas Party at the CEF Center; with 25 of them professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank God for our friends from the Christ Commission Fellowship (CCF) who sponsored the giveaways of groceries and door prizes.

Dec 16-20 : Christmas Classes
In cooperation with some of our local areas, the national office staff conducted 273 Christmas Clubs where 9,022 children heard the Gospel and 7,087 prayed to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior. Praise the Lord for co-workers who worked hard allowing us to exceed our target of 250 Christmas clubs; and for His abundant resources which was beyond what we expected.

Dec 19 : East Gate Baptist Church Pre-School Christmas Party
In a Christmas Party of EGBC (a preschool), both children and their parents heard the message of salvation through the (please state what activity you had, Mae). What joy to note that 90% of them accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Dec 22-23 : Christmas Clubs for Street Children in Tropical, Cainta and Concepcion, Marikina
Through our Christmas Clubs in Tropical, Cainta and in Concepcion, Marikina, we were able to reach out to beggars, vendors and street children -- 54 of them. Praise God for 42 who prayed the sinner’s prayer. They had the joy to receive toys and clothing courtesy of one of our partners, the Jubilee Christian Academy. Thank you so much for making the time extra special for the kids.


Dec 26-30 : Post Christmas Classes in La Union
After Christmas, our coordinator in La Union invited me to help in conducting Christmas Clubs in the area. The Lord be praised for children who heard the gospel. In due time, the seeds planted will bear fruit in the lives of the children.

Thank you for your support in prayers and gifts -- December was truly a harvest of souls for us. “Not that I seek the gift but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit." (Phil 4:17)

May you be blessed with increasing joy and God’s rich provisions for the new year.

Serving Him with you,

mae

STREET CHILDREN CAMP 2008

Praise God for the success of the Camp for Street Children last Dec 2-4, 2008, whose themed: "May mensahe ang Diyos para sa'yo". (God has message for you.) It was attended of 41 Children and 15 Counselors. 23 accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior, 8 was assured by their salvation. During the last night of the camp the preacher ask them to surrender their lives and their vices by standing in the circle in front, thank God for 32 children stand ready to turn from their vices like drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking rugby, etc and surrendered to God. Children were crying wanted to get away from this thing that withholds their future. God gave them hope for the future by trusting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. God is at work in every session using teachers challenged them Christian virtues to those accepted Christ already and salvation to none Christian.

Children were blessed to accept clothes, blanket, school materials, slippers, bags etc. thanks for those sponsors that God uses to give to these unfortunate children. It's hard to say goodbye in the last day but we'll see each other again in a Good News Club® as follow-up program for them.

Everyone in the camp learned so much even the counselors and me!

Glory to God with all that He has done!

What joy to share with you God’s mighty work among the children!

                                                                                                             

I praise the Lord  for  the opportunity to once again go  with   the Elementary School Evangelistic Campaign (ESEC)  team  for its  evangelistic efforts in  the  public schools. Since I was assigned in the Children’s Ministry department,  I missed the privilege  to go places and share  about the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to the little ones.

Excited, I joined the team last August  18-31 when they  went up  to Abra and  to La Union last September 1-12.  The first school we visited in Abra approved of our Book of Hope  distribution   but refrained us  from teaching the Wordless Book. We were in a dilemma. We cannot leave out the most important  message  the children needed to hear – the message of salvation.  For this  purpose we went.  We did not want to leave  without their  hearing about the One, True God, realizing  that  the best time to teach them  is now, while they are  young and their hearts are  tender.

What do we do? We shared the Wordless Book anyway!  And God intervened.  We were able to share the  wonderful message of salvation to the children without us getting caught.  We believe "This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in Him" (Eph 3:11-12).  Praise the Lord!

We give glory to God for those  four weeks.  About 20,000 children were reached with over 19,000 of them professing  faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our co-workers  who are  pioneering the work in these areas are  seeing to it that these children are  followed up through our discipleship classes and  eventually channeled to nearby Bible-believing churches..

 A CEF  song goes...  'Around the corner, around the world a child needs Jesus a child whose never heard, Let’s take the Good News Lets take God's living Word, Around the corner, Around the world.  That includes the children of Abra and La Union. I am glad that we could go to these children. And that we could go  with you because you prayed and gave sacrificially.  

 

Thank you for being my partner in reaching the  children!

  Thank you very much for your prayers. The Lord bless you abundantly.
