Taste and See That The LORD is good!

By Sebs & Grace Yu I noticed that my style of parenting is a lot different from that of God. Mine is aiming for a low-risk, stable life for my children. God is aiming for a faithstretching ride for His children. God called Abraham to leave his hometown for an unknown place. Peter, with his little faith, attempted to walk on water during a storm. God asked Jonah to preach repentance to a city that he personally hates. Why, Lord? I believe the answer lies in John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. Sometimes, we need faith-stretching scenarios so we will know more of God. Abraham learned that God is trustworthy when he went to Canaan by faith. Peter was being trained to fix his eyes on Jesus during trials. Jonah was shown how merciful and compassionate God is! How about you? What is your faithstretching journey today? I encourage you to also trust God and fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. As for our family, God is teaching us to hope in His saving and enabling grace. HE is teaching us to lean on Him for our daily sustenance. HE is teaching us to look forward to the day when HE will meet us in heaven. You will read more of our journey in the following paragraphs. We pray that you will see God's goodness with what you are about to read.
Faith, Hope, Love Prayer Institute & Seminary

Hope, Love Prayer Institute & Seminary. It's a joy to study the book of Matthew with my 4 students. The trimester will end by Mar 18, 2012. Christian Agape Fellowship Church CAFE's theme for the year 2012 is Church is a Team! We are aiming to worship, care, and serve together as a church team! We started off the year by setting a common goal for all of us. Our goal is to please Jesus in every way. So far, we have read through and studied the books of Colossians (Jan Theme: CAFE is a Team!) and Proverbs (Feb Theme: Becoming a Team Player) together as a church team. This February, we also launched a campaign called Love Matrix Team Edition. This is a call for the whole church to care as teams. We currently have 14 teams ministering to a total of 56 people all in all. This coming April 27-29, we will be having our annual summer camp entitled, Working Together as a

We are now praying for an opportunity to launch the Maximizing Marriage ministry to an audience of at least 100 couples within Metro Manila. We have discussed this with an events management company and would need about P50,000 to kick-off the event. The rest of the needed funds could then come from the
