This Sunday  At Faith . . . (AM)  Do you ever feel . . . Insignificant Little Unimportant Insecure We have all struggled with feelings such as these, yet we are significant to God.  Zerubbabel was tasked with a very difficult task of leading the children of Israel in the rebuilding of the Temple and restoring their society.  God sends him a very special message to help him understand the big picture.  What was God's message?  Be careful that you don't miss the forest while looking at the tree.  Join us this Sunday if you have ever struggled with any of the feelings above, we might just find some help in the story of Zerubbabel. ( Haggai 2:20-23)   Sunday night (6 PM) Chris will be bringing a message entitled "WHO AM I?", do we really understand the person of Christ.  Was He just a great teacher, leader or moral example?  Or was He something more? This was the scene in the Faith worship center as almost 100 teens meet for the final night of Teenweek.  Because of the weather Teenweek had to move inside.  We thank God for the good week with an average of over 100 teens a night, a great speaker and dedicated workers.  This is a joint effort of several local churches, many of the volunteers come from Faith.  I would just like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make Teenweek 2012 a meaningful time in the life of our teens.   In my world. . .  Evan Groves was born 9-11-08 he has Junctional EB.

I enjoyed a Pastor's lunch at Scott Hill today, I was invited by Alice Welsch from our church.  It was good to run into former members Norman Kimberlin and Dave Mann Camp is underway here in Korea! On Monday night about 20 campers made a salvation related decision!  While our main focus is still on language school, it's such a blessing to still be involved with camp as Jacob will be one of the speakers at camp over the next few weeks. Jacob will be speaking to the campers about purity, scripture memory, dedication, being real, as well as sharing his testimony. He will also share a message with the camp staff.  Please pray that the kids will be challenged in these area's. Please be praying for our staff and campers the weather here is really hot and it can be very draining especially on the staff.   (We wanted to share this exciting update from our missionary Jacob Morse in Korea)    Hope to see you Sunday
