check here for update information & news from BOH
THE WORD: Matthew 25:35-46 “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink…; ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’’
 FAMILY NEWS
What a blessing God has given us in Chiropractic care… Richard is now seeing a DR.C here in Waterloo that is also a neurologist and has determined from the MRI that Rich’s brain is processing all his information through the right side, his blood pressure was higher on the one side than the other and that the part of his memory that is controlled by the left side was weak. He has given exercises and routines for us to follow along with adjustments & stimulating exercises to help… And it has been! His headaches are growing fewer & further between and the intensity is diminishing praise God!
What is also exciting for Rachel & I is that his Iowa basic scores were right where they should be and on top of that his scores were high in Science! And my dear Harmony’s Iowa scoring was that of a high school Junior! She scored of the charts in Reading & Comprehension and in Science as well I am a very proud dad. She just knows what to say to keep me in stitches and we have some great conversations. Yay! Aria Is a vibrant brilliant and bright-eyed little joy to be around. Since there was no testing for her we do not know what genius lies behind those big eyes. But we do know that she is darned smart! That girl just seems to have a handle on life &how God intends for us to live it. In fact all three do & we are happy & content parent in the Lord! As for Rachel & myself we are doing well & enjoying family & ministry even though she has to keep the reigns tight on me so that I do not over do it!
 ENCOURAGING HAPPENINGS
One day Harmony brought a neighbor kid in the house while we had some of the church family over for a get together. She said dad can he & I go into my room and I gave her the “are you kidding?” look. That’s when she says “I want to show him something in the bible”… of course I say yes and after a while the kids go out to play, all but Harmony who calls me into the room to ask me a question.
Harmony: “Dad I was talking to “R” about God & what he thought it took to get to into heaven… He said “either you could do good works or get saved.” And I told Him “Well… Actually the Bible doesn’t say that… it says that there is only one way to get into Heaven & that would be Jesus.” I wanted him to see it for himself so he could see what God says & that’s why I asked you if we could go into my room dad.
We had a great conversation she & I about how proud of my little evangelist daughter I really am. I encouraged her to continue reading, retaining & believing in the truth of the word and to keep on telling the truths to others when the Spirit moves.
 EXCITING THINGS (OUTREACH MINISTRY)
There are more wonderful things in this life that the newest toys or latest gadgets… There is the absolute joy you get from serving others for the sake of the Lord. Being out just being a presence for the Lord almighty lifting Him up by feeding those who need to see the Lord in the flesh. Having a kind word, sharing time & giving time to others simply to be doing it for the service of the King is a blessing that you cannot put a  price tag on! We have been reaching out to the community serving them with the newly formed Servant Evangelism Team or S.E.T. Here are a couple of fotos of some outreach. The Logandale/Cedar Crest kids & myself with some guys from the "facility". I would like to thank the following food & other items contributors to our outreach events. Neil the manager of the local Bonanza, Mick from the God Fathers Pizza chain in Cedar Falls, the Wal*Mart Corporation for their grant, Art Store Director of Hy-Vee Crossroads, Kyle at the Crossroads Starbucks and Jeremy of the Waterloo Panera Breads.
 RACHEL’S RAMBLINGS
What an amazing time of year it is! There is rebirth, growth and life happening all around us! Easter Sunday was just Amazing! (Which fit right into Kevin’s sermon series called “Amazed. ”) We had record attendance on Easter of 134. What made it exciting was that the visitors that were there were not just out of town family members of our regulars, they were people for whom they have been and praying to come to church. They couldn’t have picked a better day to come. We had two talented artists there, Alvin Hepler and Derek Sallis. Each one did their interpretation of that moment when Christ arose. They were absolutely beautiful! It was so cool to watch the scene unfold on the canvas. We were able to see them work on the big screen as they painted. We also had the children sing a song and Teresa Bresson and Bridget Saffold played their violins during the praise and worship.
While all of that was… well… amazing, perhaps the best part of all happened at the end. Armond gave an altar call and slowly but surely, 7 people went forward. While they weren’t told to do so, they all knelt at the foot of the cross as they gave their lives over to Christ!!! It truly gave me goose bumps. What a better time to open your heart to Christ… at the celebration of his death and resurrection!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
➢ Please pray for the church that we as the body & bride of Christ would be as Bold about the truths of the word as Harmony is.
➢ Please pray that God increases our territory that we may bring glory to his name
➢ Please pray for our community that as we reach out to them they would receive God’s love from us & be changed forever more.
