3 Month Prayer Challenge Conquered

Image
We are happy to say that our 3 Month Prayer challenge was completed on July 19, 2010. WE DID IT! Let me clarify that. We are not happy that is over BUT we are happy that it was a victory! To some of us it was a HUGE challenge ( by that I mean ME ). Three months ago, a group of us committed to waking up and praying early in the mornings in church every day ( WE TRIED ), seeking for God's will for our ministry, our church, our lives, our everything. We held each other accountable and when one of us missed, WE GOT ON EACH OTHERS CASE ABOUT IT! :) So what was the end result? Well, prayer changes things! In this instance - PRAYER HAS CHANGED US . Made us be more pationate about prayer. Made us be accountable to one another. Brought us closer to God and our church. Each day it reminded us of how wonderful it is to wake up and dedicate your life to God by making HIM your first EVERYTHING! The different Bible Studies that were given impacted our lives and brought a greater insight and ...

Finance Seminar # 1 - Knowing the Power of God in YOUR Finances

Image
Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 7:00pm, we had our 1st Finance Session with our Special Guest Speaker: Orlando Gomez. The word brought by Orlando was both inspiring and challenging. Here is a recap of what we talked about: We work to receive a wage. Once we receive our wages, there are only 2 things that we can do with the monies received: 1. Increase it 2. Decrease it In Matthew 25:15 (TNIV) it says “To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.” When we read the entire parable, we can clearly see that when the monies are in our hands they can either increase or decrease. In other words, we can either multiply it or subtract from it. What are ways of decreasing it? 1. It is reduce through poor entertainment 2. It is reduced through bad purchases. FACT: We all must purchases things, BUT there are different types of buyers. Examples: i) The impulsive buyer – this is the buyer that see’s something...

On Saturday, June 26, 2010 at 7:00pm, c2C had their 2nd "Movie Night." This time we joined together to see "FACING THE GIANTS." But this time, not only did we see the movie but we had a wonderful time sharing snacks, foods, etcs. We ate spiritually and phyisically!!!! YEI! Here is a synopsis of the movie: From the award winning producers of FLYWHEEL, comes an action-packed drama about a Christian high school football coach who uses his undying faith to battle the giants of fear and failure. In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season.

He dares to challenge his players to believ...

c2C-Connected to Cure-"Healing the Wounded"

Image
O n Saturday, June 20, 2010 our Deacon: Edy Canel brought a very special word, which he titled “Healing the Wounded” in Spanish “Vendando las Heridas.” Most of us in our lives have been wounded at one point in our lives. Some have been wounded physically, others emotionally, others spiritually and others a combination of all these. The pain and hurt felt through any of these types of wounds, usually leaves a scar behind. A scar that many types is too painful to look at. Each scar is a reminder of those days of tears, agony and pain, where you felt your heart torn apart into pieces and it seemed like there was nothing that could ever put it back together again. Many hidden wounds are found deep in the heart. Some of these are based on past experiences. Examples of such are: Severe Criticism, Hatred, Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse and even Spiritual Abuse. These wounds can be caused even by your closest loved ones, your spouse, family and brothers/sisters in Christ. Eve...
