Christa, is planning on using her knowledge of Brazilian sign language to assist in the ministry of the gospel. They are blessed with 2 children.

Guest Speaker Dr. Bryan Brock
Bryan is currently serving as professor of Bible and Church ministries at Maranatha Baptist University. Before his ministry at Maranatha, Bryan was a church planter in California where he also earned his doctorate of ministry at Master's Seminary.
Missions Giving
This week we have the opportunity of being used by God to be a blessing to the missionaries with us. Throughout the week we will be taking offerings for these missionaries. Please take this opportunity seriously and pray about how you can give this week to facilitate the ministry God has given to these individuals.
Also, during the next several weeks we will be making our 2018 missions giving commitments. Our church's missions budget allows the church to partner with 21 missionaries directly sowing the gospel in 18 countries. Please be praying how you can be faithful with what God has blessed you with to facilitate the spread of the gospel. There will be cards in the bulletin over the next several Sundays for you to record your 2018 missions giving commitment.
Doctrine Class - Spring 2018
The next doctrine class will begin Sunday evening, January 14. This class will go through May and study the doctrines of God and Angels. We will be wrestling with doctrines like the Trinity and God's Sovereignty, as well as questions concerning God and suffering, creation, the role of angels in the Christian's life, and demon activity in today's culture.
