The Bible calls us to be a church that grows and build’s itself up, “…as each part does its work.”  Developing and maximizing the spiritual gifts generally, but especially the leadership gifts, within our congregations are part of the cutting edge of ministry today. 

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

Indonesia:  On Monday, February 1, 2010 we witnessed the baptism of the now oldest member of the Jakarta, Indonesia, church.  He's a 100 year old grandfather. He is the grandpa of Listiana, serving full time alongside her husband, Budi Hartono in the ministry in Jakarta. It was such an inspiring event and many parents and grandparents are studying the bible. To God be the glory.

The Mission Point Christian Church was thrilled to see two elders and 14 deacons appointed on Sunday.  Mike Taliaferro and Herve Fleurant (Evangelists) appointed and prayed over Archer and Jency Taliaferro (right), and Dan and Lori Nabors (left).  Moments later the elders and evangelists laid hands on, prayed over, and appointed 14 deacons for the congregation (see photo below).  It was a celebration Sunday, and something for which the church had been praying and studying their Bibles in anticipation.

Answering the Call          by Damiane Ricks

Three baptisms in Haiti, from Wilner Cornerly's blog... Today was a very productive day. We started out with a devotional in the morning and had some great singing and a time of prayer. Then we headed out to Carrefour where the site the farthest away from the city is. We met with the disciples there, had a devotional while another group of us was setting up for clinic afterwards.
