Erendira

Erendira became a Christian when she was 13 years old. Erendira’s aunt invited her to go to Diana and Mirna’s bible studies with her. At the bible studies, Erendira heard about God’s love for her and that He had a purpose for her life. In response to His love, she gave her life to do His will. Since Erendira’s conversion her mom and sister have also come to the Lord. She has also led three of her cousins to the Lord as well. Today, Erendira is in her third year of dentistry school. Why? Because she wants to become a missionary just like Diana and Mirna and bring the good news of Jesus Christ to others. She wants to tell them that God loves them and has a purpose for their life. Your support for our missionaries changes lives – and they in turn change others. Thank you for helping us help people transform their cities for God.

North to Alaska

“Alaska” What comes to mind when you see that word? 49th state to join the union – just celebrated its 55th Birthday? Long days – long nights? Cold followed by more cold? Beautiful scenery, landscapes untouched by human development? Earthquake? There’s gold in them there hills? Cruise line destination? Well you get the idea. There are so many things about Alaska. It seems since Sarah Palin came on the political landscape, Alaska has gained a resurgence of interests. There has got to be at least a half-dozen reality shows covering some segment of society - high risk fisherman, crabbers, and survivalist. Alaska recently came to our attention when Marie stopped by last summer to ask if we had ever considered a CFCI Base for that state? Honestly, we had not since most of our ministry activities are south all the way to Argentina. But Marie got us thinking and we then asked the obvious question, “Do you want to go for us?” We just completed a new staff orientation here at our International office. We had candidates wanting to go to Costa Rica, El Salvador, Toronto, Iowa, and (wait for it) Alaska! Marie Fitts was released to begin the fundraising process to become a CFCI Missionary to Anchorage. She will also work in the rural areas with the indigenous people living there. Please keep Marie and CFCI in prayer as we work to find God’s will for Alaska, His timing, location, and ministries.
