Three More Reasons to Attend SFC Conference July 15, 2009

Greetings from Maryland!

We have updated our website <http://sfcusaconfer ence.net/> to show three more reasons to attend the SFC conference! Here you will find details of the workshops to be given by Tim Staples, Christopher West and Dr. Christian Elia. You will also find our post-conference Crabfeast ad and an invitation to The SFC White House Ball (Saturday night party).

To attend The SFC White House Ball, please come in formal attire. Please inform the men to wear coat and tie, and encourage the women to wear long evening gowns (although cocktail dresses are fine too).

Thanks and God Bless!!!!

Live Out Loud! July 14, 2009

Live out Loud

For weeks now, Live-Out-Loud (LOL) has been saturating our facebook status, mailbox, calendar, blog, twitter, tumblr, etc., en masse.  Some of you got curious, others were status quo but most people were excited about the events that were unfolding.  SFCJax has taken the Christian Life Program (CLP) from a traditional event into a more out-of-the-ordinary and deeper  personal-level experience.  Notwithstanding the challenges of being a single, we attested that we can live a full life with a rock-solid faith and with the support of our family and community.  The bond that was formed promised a new beginning, a new direction, a new era.  Kudos to our LOL Core group led by our fearless leader Immanuel/Noel/Weng, the Live-Out-Loud Finale brought sheer joy that reduced any doubts about the future to nothing.

Help me in welcoming the new addition to our family, Sharon, Glenn and Armand!  Thank you for sharing your lives with us.  We are blessed to have you in SFC.  It was such a rewarding experience to witness the miracles of God in each of you.

Family for LIFE April 30, 2009

My dear brothers and sisters,

The Church Coordinator for the Diocese of St. Augustine, Trudy, has asked me and Dunn to form a team that will commit to standing up for LIFE and participate in our local community.  I know Danny Schell has been helping organize this too.  They are tapping on CFC Family Ministry because they know that we are pro-GOD, pro-FAMILY, pro-POOR and pro-LIFE which is humbling that our name alone is a testimony of our love for God.  But when we can live up to our name, that’s when we start to truly make a difference.

There are approximately 3,700 babies getting aborted every day in the U.S. alone (http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html).  I don’t believe the parents will let these children get killed if they know that Jesus is real and that Jesus is LIFE.  Our work of evangelization is clearly more urgent out there in the sidewalk.  It’s amazing and wonderful that we worship God in our churches.  Let’s continue to do that but even more so let’s go out and tell the world of HIS love.

I thank those who have been involved in the past 40 Days for Life prayer rallies.  We now have a family for LIFE that prays in front of Planned Parenthood every Friday and Saturday from 6:30am to 9:30am.  You don’t have to be out there the whole time.  It’s great if you can but at least stop by and say a prayer.  Join us brothers and sisters.  Don’t look at your service as a burden but rather as an opportunity to express your love to Our Heavenly Father.

God bless,

Bel
