MISSIONARY OF THE WEEK: - Paco Damian, Field Coordinator, Hispanics for Christ, Queretaro, Mexico. At the age of seventeen, Paco began to get involved in the youth ministry at his church. After serving as a leader for six years and finishing his university studies in architecture, God called him to study at the Word of Life Bible Insti-tute in Argentina. In 2004, God put a desire in Paco’s heart, together with Israel Contreras, to start Fusion Ministries. Fusion Ministries is a church-planting ministry established in the state of Queretaro in cen-tral Mexico. After planting their first church, Iglesia Bíblica Misionera (Mission Bible Church) in Queretaro, three other churches have been planted around Mexico. Paco and his wife, Shawna, have two chil-dren. Pray for Paco and his ministry through Hispanics for Christ. Visit www.hispanicsforchrist.org to find out more about this ministry.

1 John 4 7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from

God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

8Whoever does not love does not know God, because

God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He

sent his one and only SonF9into the world that we might live through him.

10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he

loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice forF10 our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12No one has ever seen God; but if we love

one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he

has given us of his Spirit. 14

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

15If

anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.

16And so we know and rely on the love

God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

17In this way, love is made complete

among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judg-ment, because in this world we are like him.18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

19We love because he first loved us
