Family!

LaGuardia,

I am so thankful to the Lord for allowing me to meet everyone of you this semester.  The first day in LaGuardia as a CHANGE Collegian Network Leader, I was so afraid that nobody would show up.  My burden for that school was so great that I was planning on going out to evangelize by myself if nobody came.  But thank God that you all showed up time after time.  

During the first class, most of you thought you could speak about Jesus to anyone without a problem... but when you had the chance to do it in the CCN fellowship with another CCN member, you did not know what to say (and the person had only one day left to live)!  It was very funny!  Slowly, but surely, the Lord began to teach you different ways in which you would approach a complete stranger to tell him or her about the Gospel.  

I would like to encourage everyone of you: Jennifer, Billy, Michael, Jenny, Esther, Dennis, Contessa, Sebastian, Ethan and Peter to preach the gospel.  Fear not!  Just preach it!  God will use you to save a soul!  You have all learned how to do it, and what to say, and you have all done it, but now it's just you and God!

I am so proud of all of you, from the ones who just handed out tracts, to those of you who began to witness to people.  Next semester, I am planning to do a lot of outreaches!  My goal, as well as that of all of you, is for everyone in the school to know that Jesus Christ is the Lord and to submit to Him.  Together, we can make it happen.

I will be emailing you information for next semester, as well as plans for the school.  Please do call me if you need to speak to me.  I will do the same.  

Love you in Christ Jesus our Lord,

PS: I will email you the pictures from the semester.  Or you can see them all here at the Blog. www.changelcc.blogspot.com

Last Friday... Sniff sniff

OK, so first of all... let me wipe the tears from my eyes...

Ok Im good!... wuz up everybody! welcome to another exciting but this time sad blog of LaGuardia Community College!  Last time we posted a blog on how exciting and great was last friday's meeting.  We learned new things, saw the WOTM video, etc... But I forgot to mention one thing... NEXT FRIDAY IS OUR LAST FRIDAY TOGETHER! since the holidays are coming up this friday is the last one of the year!! (wow 2007 passed so fast) so make sure all of you come because we're gonna have a great time and we have a little surprise for you! (wink wink) so don't miss it make sure you make some time for us to be together and spend some time with each other before we set off for the holidays!!...

See you there!... Man, I promised myself I wouldn't cry again!

Back from the holidays...

We had our first meeting after thanksgiving weekend and boy was it great! we strated last friday's meeting with a powerfull prayer time, we prayed that God will continue to equip us in order to win LaGuardia to God!! we continue encouraged fighting the good battle in order to gain more souls for the Kingdom, to do this we also did a very good review on discipleship by our brother jonathan, and to top it all off we had another great biblical evangelism lesson on the "top 10 questions asked during witnessing" it was great we learned how to explain to others questions such as "if God is so good how come there's so much suffering?" or "I don't believe in God or judgement day" or the class favorite: "how can you believe in the bible if it was written by man?"

The next day we had an excellent CCN Saturday where LaGuardia attended faithfully and make sure you don't miss next meeting on friday where we will se the second part to the "top 10 questions asked during witnessing"... PEACE!

THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS!!

1. Come out on Wednesday and meet the President of CHANGE Collegian Network, Tiffany, who is coming out to support the Christian Club and to meet the CCN Members at LaGuardia!

2. On Wednesday, Christian Club Ministries will be having a great outreach! Come out and put what you have learned in class to the test by joining us! It will take place in the Lobby of the E-Building (the entrance, by the security office). We will have tables set up, where we can freely speak to everyone about the Gospel. Please come out and share the gospel. It is your reasonable service. If you are somewhat shy about sharing your faith, this will definetly help you. See you then!




3. Sad news: CCN meeting for this Friday is cancelled due to Thanksgiving. Don't stop sharing the gospel! Take this opportunity to share with your family the wonders of the gospel message. It is why we are most thankful!



Brothers remember that for some odd reason people seem to be more open to the things of God in the holidays! Here are some great ides you can use to reach people with the Gospel:
1. Give out Lollipops with a Gospel tracts attached!
2. Invite people to holidays events in your church!
3. Make a great thanksgiving dinner, invite your friends and share the gospel with them!
4. If you are invited to a thanksgiving dinner, tell everyone how thankful you are for the gospel! If they don't know what it is... you get to tell them.

Come on! Let's remember to preach the gospel in season and out of season. The holidays is a great season for everyone else but remember that a Christian never stops working!!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE WORD!

LAGUARDIA LOVES THE WORD!

That's right! Last week's meeting was so profound as we looked into scripture and learned about the sinfulness of man! It was so good that we didn't want to end it! We thank God for his WORD!

Get ready for tomorrow people! Sebastian and I are going to double team to give you the best of the best!

I will continue to go with you through the Bible, simply teaching straight out of the book!

Sebastian is also bringing a special teaching about the message of the modern church... does it include your church? Check it out!

Please be there on time! It is extremely important that you arrive at 2pm (exemptions apply if you are working). We are going to start right on time and we don't want you to miss it!


IMPORTANT!

Tomorrow, we are having CCN Saturday at Iglesia Nueva Vida! It is only 15 minutes from LaGuardia. This is a special day that you dedicate to the LORD! You will be receiving a word, prayer, worship and of course, we will out and preach the gospel.

I thank those who made the commitment of coming out and I pray that I will see you there at 10:30 AM.

LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS POST!

CCN SATURDAY IS HERE! (Finally!)

LaGuardia!

Listen up laborers! The time has come to reach out around your school! You are all ready to come and join in a day of fasting, prayer, fellowship and of course... Witenssing!

All the students from other schools, who are learning how to preach the gospel just like you, are coming to Queens to meet you, pray with you and preach with you. Please see the attached file for information!

everyone at the frontline!!

Last week was full of sursprises! first of all it was such an awesome surprise to see how the Holy Spirit lead a new memeber to our club called Nathan, he grow up in a afamily with no religion background therefore he considers himself an atheist but he was willing to learn more about God and wanting to have a relationship with Him (praise the Lord!) the onther surprise was for our club members: we took them to the frontlines! well, in this case the 7 train! we bombed the train with the gospel for the first time, yup, noting better than to gather around hear a little one on one on mp3 and then put it into practice... and that's exactly what our sister jennifer did, she boldly preached the gospel right there on the 7 train "u go girl!" We hope and pray to God to see all of our members to preach the biblical gospel boldly and affectevely and of course they always know that we'll always be right behind them we love them and appreciate them very very much!... Praise the Lord for your lives!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Last week Christian Club Ministries had an AWESOME OUTREACH!! It was amazing! LaGuardia had the priviledge of having a whole Christian event in the Atrium (which is were most people are gathered). It was here that our brother Dennis was able to bring a powerful gospel message to everyone who wanted to come and hear!



It was so powerful! The funny thing is that is was soooo loud!! And it is allowed! This is the only college that I have seen, that allows the Christians to be loud about the gospel without complain! If people do complain, the authorities are actually on our side! We all just bless God for the Chirstian Club and the amazing work being done to reach the lost!

Besides that, there were members from the club who danced, did some poetry and sang! All for the LORD and for everyone to hear!


















Of course we also had the chance to speak to people personally about the LORD. Jenny actually did a great job in bringing people to our table who wanted to know if they were going to heaven! We thank God for you Jenny!

One of those people was Antonio: I had a very good conversation with him about the afterlife... He admitted that he was lost and needed a saviour... Let's pray that He will repent and trust in Jesus.


Can't wait for the December event! Be on the lookout for that! Get ready to continue to preach the gospel!

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." 2 Timothy 4:2

The holy Spirit is ssooo good! We have to admit last week we almost didn't have a class! Unfortunately our brother Jonathan forgot the lessons of the Way of the Master, we didn't have any teaching material! but God is so good the He provided an mp3 from The Way of the Master Radio, "Terrified." We were able to hear an encouraging witness encounter where Todd Friel witnesses to a Christian who disagree on biblical evangelism. It is so good to be biblical because we can seea well bible- based witness. You should have seen, (well in this case hear) the many times this Christian woman supposedly concern for the souls contradicted herself with her statements and Todd patiently and kindly guided her thrugh scripture to show her the biblical way to present the gospel... and that's exactly what we do here! We learn the biblical gospel so we can share it with every creature.

Last week's meeting was awesome! We heard some nice one on one preaching and we reviewed the function of the law, here are some pictures of this radicals... enjoy!

MISSION: HAND OUT AT LEAST FIVE GOSPEL TRACTS... FOR THE FIRST TIME!

At LaGuardia we had a tough, long CCN lesson where we just went into the Bible to see why there is such a need to preach the gospel biblically! It was beautiful to look into scripture and see all that it reveals about the condition of humans! Thank God for our "ally the conscience" in every human being! Click on the picture to get a review of the class!




We then quickly moved to watching "Learning to Overcome Fear"... and of course, we overcame fear by girding our loins and getting ready for battle with our unique amunition: GOSPEL TRACTS!




Billy, Jenny, Contessa and Jennifer went around the atrium handing out gospel tracts to students... for the first time! They were nervous, but they wanted to please God! They are some true warriors :)


Look at the joy in Jennifer's face, after she faced her fears! We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us! :)



















Of course, Jenn could not stop after she had a taste of it, and even handed out gospel tracts on her way home along with Billy! Way to go Jenn and Billy!






Until next time... Next week!

UPCOMING LESSONS AND DIRECTIONS!

COME AND JOIN US: THIS WAY



TO ROOM:


WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU ;)


SO FAR WE HAVE SEEN TWO VERY IMPORTANT LESSONS:

1. CULTIVATING COMPASSION FOR THE LOST: With the same urgency and passion that a firefighter rescues people from the fire, so do Christias witness "save with fear, pulling them out of the fire" Jude 23.

2. DISCOVERING HELL'S BEST KEPT SECRET: In the same way that a passanger on a plane puts on a parachute in the knowledge that the plane is going to crash (rather than put on the parachute to improve his flight), so are sinners in need of putting on the LORD Jesus Christ, knowing that they are going to die and face him on Judgement day (rather than coming to God to get a "wonderful plan").

UPCOMING LESSONS!

3. LEARNING TO OVERCOME FEAR!

4. PRACTICING WHAT YOU PREACH!

5. CRAFTING THE MESSAGE!

6. ANSWERING THE TOP 10 QUESTIONS!

7. EXPOSING THE MYTH OF THE MODERN MESSAGE!

8. SPREADING YOUR WINGS!

PROMISE: YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

"And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire..." Jude 23

Today the laborers at LaGuardia were getting their ammunition in place for the upcoming battles against hell.

"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints."

Join me in this mini-review of what we experienced today!

We had the priviledge of having new brothers and sisters visit who were encouraged by the word and the fellowship!

A SHOUT OUT GOES TO: Billy, Esther, Peter and Jenny! We thank God for your commitment to seeking to save the lost!


Today's Challenge: Would you be ready if you had to present the message of the gospel in two minutes to someone who was about to die? What would you say to them?
Well, today the class was given the opportunity to see what they would say... and as Billy put it "It's harder than I thought"
It is extremely hard to share your faith when you are not ready. That is why CCN is here, to prepare you to "preach the word; be instant in season, out of season..." (2 Tim. 4:2)





We watched "Discovering Hell's Best Kept Secret," and then had a beautiful time of examining ourselves to see if we are in the faith (2 Cor. 13:5). (To watch online please visit: http://www.wayofthemaster.com/videolessons.shtml)


MOST IMPORTANTLY: As a body we went out and shared the gospel on the campus! We spoke with Jonathan, who was visiting his girlfriend at LaGuardia. The LORD allowed him to see his sin, and we were able to share how Jesus took our place by dying on the cross so that we can have eternal life. Please pray that Jonathan will repent and trust the Savior.









BLOOPERS: HAHAHA!

Swallowed by fear?

Meanwhile... Juan is backed into a corner by the Fear Monster from Planet Ye O' Lil' Faith!
