Happy Thanksgiving from James

2010-11-24T13:29:00.000-08:00

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." Philippians 1:3-5

Recently I began my four year serving the FBCA/Connections family. I wish I could put into words how enormously thankful I am for all of you. It's more than you'll ever know and deeper than words can express.

-I'm thankful for authentic community that happens in Connection Groups in small groups, house gatherings and classrooms where Connections belong, grow and serve each other.
-I'm thankful for the generous spirit of so many FBCA who honor God first with their resources to advance His causes in this world.
-I'm thankful to be part of a church that loves people far from God, loves their neighbors, and which truly believes the church is not all about "us", but those who have yet to experience His amazing grace.
-I'm thankful for the humble shepherd/leaders who serve on our bolunteer staff who model with their lives what they preach with their mouths.

FBCA/Connections, simply put, I'm thankful for youAlso, we will take a break this Friday night gatherings. Same as Court-side @ 3pm this Sunday as well. We will resume next week!

Testimony

2007-04-06T04:20:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

I would like to share a testimony on how the Lord works wonders on people. In the past months, I have been praying to the Lord, asking him to help me become a successful investor, mainly in currency. To get better at something, in a way, you need a coach. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and Warren Buffet were able to become who they are today because they have a mentor. When I pray to the Lord about my endeavors, I never assumed he would give me a mentor that is not only a professional, but also have integrity.

The bible states, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7

And you know what folks… I asked, seek and knocked. God is so amazing. He gives more than what you need and he loves you. And the loving God will answer your prayer. So friends, if your needs are urgent or problems that can’t be solved, all you have to do is:

Ask
Seek
And Knock

Thank you Lord.

Far away from Taiwan - Grace

2007-04-05T11:06:00.000-07:00

Dear beloved friends,

How are you? May God's love and blessings be upon every of you day and night.

Thank you for your prayers. I am very good. My every day here (Taiwan) is full of visitation, Bible study, and meetings. I've met lots of very interesting Christians who are my father's friends and seen how wonderful they are to be the people of God. I am very thankful for that.

I miss every of you.

Please pray for me for a reconciliation with a very important friend of mine. I hope we will be able to give blessings to each other without emotional burdens resulting from our past interactions.

Also thank God that God has used me to enrich the relationship between my father and mother, and to cheer my sister up as she was so anxious about the way she reared her daughter.

Thank you again for your prayers.

May we acknowledge every moment that how deeply God loves us so that we will be able to baldly go to Him to obtain strength.

Love in Christ,

Grace
