For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Our Mission is to follow through

on Jesus' instructions to His disciples...

He said to them,

“Go into all the world

and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Mark 16:15

PASTOR'S PONDERING

Thoughts to ponder from Bible Hub.  

Eden's provision: Trust God today?  

How does God’s provision encourage trust in His provision today? 

Eden Begins With Grace  

“And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there He placed the man He had formed.” (Genesis 2:8)  

Right from the opening pages of Scripture, the Garden of Eden shines as a living portrait of God’s generous heart. He personally plants, arranges, and then welcomes Adam into a fully prepared home. Nothing is left to chance, nothing missing, and nothing demanded of Adam before he can enjoy it. God’s first interaction with humanity is pure provision.

 

Precedent for Ongoing Provision

Eden is not an isolated episode—it is the pattern:

  •  God’s character does not shift with eras or economies (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).
  • If He planted a garden then, He remains the same Gardener now.
  • What began in a literal place continues in daily grace: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)

Joyfully,

NEWS FROM THE GARCIA'S IN PERU

Once again, by God’s grace, we were able to hold the “Nothing Is Impossible” program! Each time we organize this event, we see more people with disabilities becoming interested in attending. This is such an encouragement to us, and we are grateful that more people are hearing about this ministry. However, for now, our ability to welcome more participants is limited by the cost of organizing each event. Expenses include picking up and bringing everyone home, preparing meals, coordinating professionals from different fields who volunteer their time and skills to help us, and providing each participant with a small bag of nonperishable food items to take home. We are grateful to the Lord for allowing us to encourage others through His Word and for the opportunity to walk alongside our local church family as we continue serving Him together.
