THE MESSENGER

in this issue

Dear Church Family,

Please begin praying for the important Mindanao Strategic Vision (MSV) leaders' meeting in the Southern Philippines that will be taking place April 20-24, 2015. Lakan will be at-tending and meeting with the leaders there, including those teams which we have part-nered with the past 9 years. We are asking that along with prayer for this meeting and travel that you would prayerfully consider helping to financially support our 5 frontline Filipino leaders conference costs and that we as a church would help support a portion of Lakan's costs while he is in the Southern Philippines as well. We are asking the Lord to provide a total of $2500 by Sunday, April 12th. Please mark your donations "Philippines." In His grace, The CHBC Mission & Evangelism Team

International Shopping Trips: Each Thursday at 6PM, a volun-teer driver, using the church van, goes to a designated pick-up point at ASU, picks up a group of international students & takes them to Wal-Mart, dropping them off & then returning to pick them up at 7:30-8:00 & return them to the designated pick-up point at ASU. * If you are willing to be one of the drivers for this ministry, please contact Ryan Connel.

Ask Me Anything Free College Lunch: Each Thursday from 11:30-1:30 in the fellowship hall, we host a free lunch for college students, engaging them in spiritual question and answer discussions while they eat. We need people who will donate money to help purchase food, those who will help with planning, purchasing, preparing, serving, and clean up. There are usually around 20 students who attend. *If you’d like to help in some way with this ministry, please contact Stacy Stephenson or Kira Connel.

OUTREACH

We will be showing this wonderful film in our Fellowship Hall at 7PM on Thursday evening, April

24th. We are inviting the students & families from our next door neighbor, Crockett Elementary

to attend. We encourage you to invite family and friends to attend also.

Based on the Gospel of Luke, the “JESUS” film has now been dubbed in more than 1300

languages. This allows God’s Word to speak to people in more than 200 countries in languages

they know and understand. By God’s grace, it is yielding a spiritual harvest of unprecedented

results. Since the creation of the “JESUS” film in 1979, more than 200 million men, women and

children worldwide have indicated decisions to follow Jesus after viewing the film.
