October 31 Youth Group

A lot of you have been asking what the deal is for youth group next week since it's halloween and all. Here's the deal. We will be going to Severn Christian Church for youth group next week. They have a cool event every year and it will be a lot of fun. Hay rides, candy, games, candy, candy, other fun stuff, and then more candy. Get the idea?

We will meet at Dianne Brown's (Taylor's mom's) house at 6:30pm and we will be back there by 8:30. Click here for a map if you don't know how to get there. We will carpool over and back. In case your parents want to know where the church is, click here for a map of the church.

Finally, if you weren't in youth group on Wednesday, click here for the note that was sent home.

LIGER!

On a typical day he will devour 200 lb. of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100 lb. at a single setting. At just three years old, Hercules already weighs half a ton.

He is the unintentional result of two enormous big cats living close together at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Miami , Florida , and already dwarfs both his parents. "Ligers are not something we planned on having," said institute owner Dr. Bhagavan Antle. "We have lions and tigers living together in large enclosures and at first we had no idea how well one of the lion boys was getting along with a tiger girl, then lo and behold we had a liger." These two cats don't normally have the opportunity to breed in the wild, as most lions live in Africa and most tigers in Asia .

He is a 50mph runner... Not only that, but he likes to swim, a feat unheard of among water-fearing lions. In the wild it is virtually impossible for lions and tigers to mate. Not only are they enemies likely to kill one another ... But incredible though he is, Hercules is not unique. Ligers have been bred in captivity, deliberately and accidentally, since shortly before World War II

Today there are believed to be a handful of ligers around the world and a similar number of tigons, the product of a tiger father and lion mother. Tigons are smaller than ligers and take on more physical characteristics of the tiger.


Look at the size of the head on this thing..

ABA YAG YIC DAY!

We had an awesome time on Saturday prayerwalking in Curtis Bay, praying for different communities and ministries, and meeting some of the residents by conducting a needs survey! We prayed with many people and were encouraged by their openness to Christ and finding a church!

Some Prayers Answered about Brandon...

Here's the newest email from Pastor Bob...He's coming to the USA tomorrow, so pray for travel.

================

Good morning,

Just a quick update before we leave for the USA. Last night was such a blessed night. Brandon along with sever others were baptised. I included two pictures of Brandon, one shows Brandon and his Mom and Dad. This was the largest baptism service since we've been here. God is so Good!




Brandon will be picking up his new electric wheel chair on Wednesday. His grandfather aske me if it was ok for him to start coming to church on Sunday. Yes!

The other seven who were baptised ranged from a man who lived on the street and did drugs to a woman who has been in church most of her life and just placed her faith in Jesus. The other 5 fit in between those 2.

Thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for Brandon and his family.

May the Lord bless you,
Bob

Prayer Works!

Thank you all so much for continuing to pray for Brandon in Wales! Here is the latest... don't skip it cuz it's great news!

======================


Hi,
Just a quick note on what God is doing through your prayers.

1. His electric wheel chair. His parents needed $3,500 to purchase the chair. They had collected just over 1,400. I pprayed that somehow through our small congregation God would provide the balance ot the money needed. This would have to be of God as our church members have barely enough to live on. Today I delivered the money that was received in an offering during a concert in our church. $2,084. Brandon will have his chair on wednesday. Praise God!!

2. I prayed that his parents would allow him to be baptized. Remember his parents are atheists. Brandon is the only one in his family that believes in God. Brandon will be baptized this Sunday. But wait. His Dad will be in the water with me as I baptize his son. That's not all. His whole family will be in church that night and hear the gospel, approx. 30 of them. Praise God again and again!

My prayer is that the family will see a miracle on Sunday. God is able. The bible states that the purpose of miracles is to authentic God's message and His love.

I don't know what God will do in this but He has been doing amazing things throughout the short time we have been praying for Brandon.

Will Brandon's eye straighten while he's in the waters?
Will Brandon walk out of the water? Something he is unable to do because f the tumor.
Will God melt that tumor?
Will his Dad accept Jesus and be baptized while he's in the water with Brandon?

Only God knows.
Only God is able.

Our part is to pray. Thank you all for your prayers.

Love in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
Pastor Bob
