Update
on our US/C2 missionary Andrew Cantrell: Andrew’s two year appointment by the North American Mission Board was completed
August 15. Praise God—Andrew
will continue to minister to our churches in the CVBA!!! Andrew’s
schedule will be reduced down time-wise, but he will still continue to work
with our Youth and College Leaders to strengthen these ministries of our
churches. Since NAMB’s support has ceased, Andrew will be working part-time in
other areas to supplement. His goal is to work into a coaching role at a
private or public school as a ministry opportunity.

Do you have an
article/announcement/request, etc...? Send an e-mail to
cvba777@sbcglobal.net with the
article you would like to have published
Not Finished Yet!
We need a new button, t-shirt, bumper sticker, or cap that reads...NFY!
It stands for Not
Finished Yet!
Regardless
of the label people put on you (senior, baby-boomer, retired person),
regardless of the number
of birthdays you've celebrated, you are still
here. And as long as you are here, you are not there, and as long
as you are not there, it means God still has a
purpose for you here.
When
Jesus was on the cross, the last thing He said was, "It
is finished." After He made that statement He died.
When is God's purpose for you on this earth
finished? It is finished when you die... until then,
you are not finished yet! NFY!
Does the
thought of getting older discourage you or make you fearful? Consider these
words the Lord spoke to Isaiah:
I will be your God throughout your lifetime--until
your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you. Isaiah 46:4 NLT
By Roy Lessin
JUST THINK!
Just Think,
You’re not here by chance,
but by God’s choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you the person you are.
He compares you to no one else
– you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing that His grace can’t give you.
He has allowed you to be here at this time in
history
to fulfill His special purpose for this
generation.
By Roy Lessin
