for those who have been following the FRESH READ - 2008 plan to read through the scriputres, we will have a MID TERM EXAM.

This one is different.  You will not be tested, but are asked to submit questions you have from your reading of the Bible.  I will take those questions and attempt to answer them in the semon on June 29. 

Drop your question by the office, or email them to me.

EFCA UPDATE SPECIAL BROADCAST

Myanmar Disaster Relief

May 7, 2008

Dear EFCA churches, leaders and friends:
Recent news reports coming from Myanmar indicate that the cyclone death toll has soared above 22,500 and more than 41,000 others are still missing.   It is also estimated that up to 1 million people may be homeless as entire villages have been destroyed in the aftermath of one of the worst storms in recent history.  The widespread devastation in Myanmar is reminiscent of the Tsunami in 2004. 
Under the direction of the EFCA TouchGlobal Crisis Response team, ReachGlobal staff in Asia and our ministry partners in Myanmar, we are making preparations to assist those most severely affected by this devastating event. The immediate need is funding to begin the process of rebuilding lives in this area of the world.  We want to show compassion to those most in need and through the efforts of our ministry partners and the generous support of our churches here in the United States, lives will be transformed.


God has shown favor to ReachGlobal by allowing us to develop an exciting ministry partnership with the Evangelical Free Church of Myanmar.  This partnership has positioned us well for responding to this disaster with people in-country who can effectively meet the needs of their fellow citizens.  As the relief efforts get underway and we see other opportunities for service, we will make these requests known to our churches. 
We have established the Myanmar Disaster Relief fund and are accepting donations.  Please send checks to:
