For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

PASTOR'S PONDERING
Abraham was given a privileged role among the nations, despite his deceptive behavior. Throughout his life, Abraham continues to return to Yahweh, despite his deceptive behavior. Why God puts up with it we do not know. But thank God, that He does. Amen.
Joyfully,
Marilee :)
FROM THE GARCIAS IN PERU
Light and Salt
You are the salt of the earth.
But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?
Can you make it salty again?
It will be thrown out
and trampled underfoot as worthless.
You are the light of the world—
like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:13-14
We want to thank you for your prayers. These past few days have been a great blessing for each of the attendees at this teen camp (ages 12-17), titled "Light and Salt 2025." A total of 115 participants.
Many of them accepted Jesus into their hearts, others confirmed their faith and commitment to be salt and shine in this world, showing the light of Christ in their lives, some teenagers who arrived with a broken heart were restored by the Word of God.
