How to Lose Your Child Before He is 5 Years Old

jefe40472@gmail.com — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:00:00 +0100

I got this off of Travis Snode's Blog and I wanted to post it. It was a message preached by J.B. Buffington on raising children.

HOW TO LOSE YOUR CHILD BEFORE HE IS FIVE YEARS OLD

The following is edited and adapted from a message preached by the late J. B. Buffington (1923-2009) at Calvary Baptist Church, Lakeland, Florida, in the early 1970s.

Rearing a family ought to be a thing of joy. You ought to sit down at home and laugh about all the little things that happen. [...]

Additional comment on Resistant People Blog Post

david@thatallmayknow.net — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:00:00 +0100

I wanted to comment on Jeff's (my brother-in-law) blog entry that he posted yesterday about working with resistant people. I recently heard a message in one of the missions conferences that I was a part of last week and the main speaker was talking about sowing and reaping. He said that some missionaries are in reaping countries and others are in sowing countries. Being a Missionary to Spain I understand that it is a sowing country. However, I really believe that a harvest is going to come as [...]

Those ministering to resistant people...

jefe40472@gmail.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:00:00 +0100

My friend Aaron wrote on his blog about people working with "hard" or "resistant" people. He made some very good points and I wanted to share a few. As most people know, Spain is a country with very resistant people. It seems that more missionaries are coming and then leaving, then coming and staying. I have been here for 2 years and I have already seen at least 3 families that I know of leave the field. So what is to be done in a country with resistant people? Here are some things Aaro [...]

Do Social Networks Change Behavior?

jefe40472@gmail.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:00:00 +0100

I saw this on one of the blogs that I follow and thought it was interesting.

USAToday published an interesting article today about the impact of the internet and social networking. Here are a few of the statistics they shared: How social-networking services affect the everyday behavior of millions of Americans:

How we can pray...

jefe40472@gmail.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:00:00 +0100

Many people ask how they can pray better for missionaries. As I was reading in my personal devotions this morning, the following passage jumped out at me. This is not only how to pray for us as Missionaries but how we can pray for our fellow Christians in general.

Paul writes in the book of Colossians in chapter 1 verses 9-10:

9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his wil [...]

It has begun!!!

jefe40472@gmail.com — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:00:00 +0100

We have begun holding bible studies at my in-laws house. Our first official bible study was last Sunday and one lady came. Yesterday, we held our second bible study and had 2 people. In the picture above, the man on the right side is named Fernando. He trusted Christ as Lord in Argentina and came to Spain 8 years ago. However, he has not been a part of a church since he came [...]

Julio and Andrea September Prayer Letter

velasquez@thatallmayknow.net — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:00:00 +0100

September 2009
Dear Co-laborers in Christ,

We are close to the end of a very hot summer. Most days temperatures were in the high 90’s and nights would be very warm also. Spaniards usually enjoy one full month of vacation time, either in July or August. Now most people have returned home and within two weeks school will begin again. This is the time we have been waiting for to begin distributing the DVD’s with a Gospel message. We would like to thank all of those indiv [...]

Dear Praying Friends, Family, and Churches,

Again, it is a privilege to be able to report to you on allthat God is doing. I must say this every time, but we count it such an honor to serve our Lord. It is not about the place or the people, it is about our Lord. Obeying His command!

THE GOSPEL ON DVD PROJECT
We have received tremendous comments on this project. Many have watched the video that we will be passing out and have given us great feedback. Several missionaries who are [...]

We are exciting about this project. Many people have already given so that they can have a part in getting the gospel on DVD to someone here in Spain. You can learn more about this [...]

Dave's Thoughts on "Cash for Clunkers"

jefe40472@gmail.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:00:00 +0100

With all the buzz about Cash for Clunkers, it’s easy to think that it was a great way for people to get a better set of wheels. But was it really? No way! Cash for Clunkers was simply a way for broke people to buy cars that they really couldn't afford. It was a bad idea on multiple levels. But before digging into that, let’s take a little history lesson.

About a decade ago, a fair housing program was started, called a sub-prime lending market. The idea behind i [...]

¡Adelante, siempre adelante, adelante, siempre adelante!

jefe40472@gmail.com — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:00:00 +0100

While at youth camp, the main speaker in the mornings told of how when he was first starting off in the ministry that he asked an older preacher for some advice, any advice for the ministry. The preacher said I will tell it to you in a poem.

The first stanza is:

¡Adelante, siempre adelante, adelante, siempre adelante!¡Adelante, siempre adelante, adelante, siempre adelante!¡Adelante, siempre adelante, adelante, siempre adelante! The second stanza g [...]

The "Who Is He/Who Am I" Challenge!

This post came from my wife's personal blog and I wanted to share it with you.

While at camp last week, I gave each of the girls in my cabin an assignment. The first day, they were to look in the Bible for [...]

It was amazing to see God working in the hearts of the young people at teen camp. I had the privilege of being a counselor and seeing first hand God working in the hearts of my campers.

One of the neat things that I saw was one of the campers in my cabin take a spiritual lead. Even though young, he seems to be a natural leader. During free time I would often see him off by himself reading the Bible.

Every night, before going to bed, he would open up [...]

The Gospel DVD Project

jefe40472@gmail.com — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:00:00 +0100

We are so excited about this project. We know that God is going to bless in a tremendous way. I was talking to my father-in-law yesterday about this project and I said to him that we could spend the rest of our lives personally talking to everyone in the street and still not get to every person in our city. However, in a relatively short time, we will have given every person in our city the chance to hear and watch a clear presentation of the Gospel through this DVD project. [...]

Testimony!

jefe40472@gmail.com — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:00:00 +0100

This year was my first year being a counselor in the Camps here in Spain. It was a great opportunity for me to continue practicing my Spanish. I have been studying Spanish for a little over a year now. I finished my formal classes several months ago and since then have been continuously learning through conversation, listening, reading, etc.

Camp is a great week to help with Language learning because for 5 days, 24 hours a day, you are immersed in the spanish.&n [...]

Teen Camp

jefe40472@gmail.com — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:00:00 +0100

Deanna and I had the priviledge of being part of the teen camp here in Spain. We saw God work in a tremendous way in the hearts of the young people. God worked in our hearts as well.

During the mornings, Moises Campos, a Spanish Pastor from Barcelona taught some tremendous classes. Then at night, the preaching was great also.

I plan to comment more on some specific things throughout the week, but for now, I wanted to give those who speak spanish the opportunity to download [...]
