5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, [a] and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities [b]
are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 nd Peter 1:5-8 ESV

Missionary Memo October 19, 2014
We praise God that all of Alberto's mentors are now in place for Immerse. Although he has already been to some of the seminars he will officially start in November.
We also praise God for a new home. We moved at the end of September to a main floor suite that is more centrally located. It has 3 bedrooms so Alberto now has an office. God is good.
As a church we are going through discipleship material. It starts out at the very beginning dealing with the basics of salvation, God's grace, our need to study His word, etc. and continues building towards spiritual maturity. Although some in the church are way beyond this, we are doing it all together so each of us will be equipped to disciple new comers as God sends them. We pray for diligence on the part of each one and that this would bear fruit in the church.
Attendance continues to go up and down. Most attendees don't want to be committed to regular attendance and service. We are praying for more and true commitment to God's church and kingdom.
On Tuesday Oct 21st Alberto will be attending Fellowship Pacific's New Pastors Orientation in Langley where he will be receiving his credentials, so if you want to get married in Kelowna, we know someone who can perform the ceremony :-)
Thank you so much for your support and prayers. Love, Mandy, Alberto and the boys

The wisdom of imbibing freely of the love of Christ shall never be questioned even by the pure spirits in heaven; this is the wine which they themselves quaff in everlasting bowls at the right hand of God. We can never have too much of it. Yes, we may even swim in this sea of bliss. Charles Spurgeon
