This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (John 17:3)

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  (Romans 10:9)

Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you    always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

Joseph and Pastor Marco from Christ First Espanol have been partnering together for over 7 years.  It has been such a wonderful partnership praying with one another and hosting evangelistic events together that many people have come to know the Lord through.  We praise God for these new believers that were recently baptized within Pastor Marco’s church!

Celebrating 8 new believers being baptized recently!

Picture transformative, multiplying churches in every segment of the city that communicate and demonstrate the gospel to every person, so that every man, woman and child would know the gospel and experience the love of Jesus Christ.

The National Leadership team for our ministry, Cru Church Movements, recently met for prayer and planning as they lead together for this next year.  Because of Joseph’s health at this time he could not be in person in Colorado, but he was able to be zoomed in to the meetings when he was not doing his treatment.  The vision for the ministry is summed up in 5 distinct areas we seek to see lived out.

· Connect People to Jesus

· Develop Missional Leaders

· Multiply the Church

· Partner to Serve

· Encourage Extraordinary Prayer

In Partnerships with Others we are Trusting God to reach 160,000,000 unreached people in the U.S, plant 160,000 churches/faith communities and mobilize 1,000,000 leaders.

Family Update…

Fall has begun and our kiddos are all in big transitions!  Luke is officially working for a Christian finance company, Daniel has begun his Senior year in college, Jessica is a freshman in college and Aleeya is a 6th grader! It is bittersweet seeing Daniel enter his Senior year and Jessica moving away from home for her freshman year—but we are definitely in a season of change and change is hard sometimes.  Thank you for your continual prayers for Joseph as well.  He is in the midst of the radiation and hormone treatment and doing pretty well overall, some days are better than others. Continuing to rest in God’s peace and strength through this season.
