The Core Group Meeting is scheduled for this coming Sunday at 2:00 p.m., after the fellowship lunch. Please take note.  All members of the Core Group are encouraged to attend.

When you see things happen or don't happen as you might have expected, the likelihood is that they have been discussed or presented at a core group meeting you didn't attend. So please attend to stay informed and be a part of the discussion of ongoing and new items that come up in these meetings.

What you didn't hear or know about by being absent from a Core Group meeting doesn't mean they don't exist.

This coming Saturday is the day to make sure your afternoon is free to attend a most important seminar regarding end-time events.

At 3:00 p.m. Pastor John will lead out in this study.  For sure, it will be not only an interesting subject but also, it will give us knowledge of the signs that Jesus is soon to return!

It will be conducted either at the Fellowship Hall or in the church sanctuary, depending on power point connections at the Fellowship Hall.

Everyone is invited.

Our monthly fund raising fellowship dinner is coming up again on the third Tuesday evening of this month! That's on August 21, not quite two weeks away.

The place is the Capital Seafood Restaurant in Rowland Heights, at the area of Nogales and Gale. Please make your reservations early.  Johnny Chua will be glad to take the reservations from you (909-228-2162).

As a student in 1971, Berthold Becker was converted from being a socialist activist to a disciple of the Lord Jesus. Shortly after completing his university education, Berthold decided he wanted to understand what it meant to experience God in his professional career. So, he learned to walk with God at work in the automotive industry. Berthold testifies how God gave him many designs for cars that became their best-sellers. He was often referred to as the "prophet" among his non-Christian auto executives.

-

With his wife Barbara as his personal intercessor, Berthold left his career in the auto industry in 1986, to begin many entrepreneurial Kingdom initiatives. One was launched in the Ukraine through an initiative called GfS (Gesellschaft für Strukturentwicklung). Berthold became active in many training, consulting and joint venture situations, helping Ukrainian business start-ups. During his travels there, he noticed the lack of availability of good bread, and he decided to do something about it. He started small businesses using mobile bakeries that he bought from the Swiss Army. The German and Ukranian governments soon recognized that Berthold had been serving the nation through his business expertise and came alongside him to say, "You are doing it better than we can." The governments began funding his enterprises, while his group remained in control of the business.

-

The Bible says "Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession" (Ps 2:8). I believe one way that will happen is when Christians become the source of blessing to a city or nation.

-

These enterprises (which include technology transfer and training centers for bread, meat, and dairy products) have become a joint venture with a Ukrainian business group, operating successfully in the food industry.

-

Today, God is raising up a new breed of Christian workplace leader. God will use anyone to impact a nation because we are all called to disciple the nations. How might God want to use you in the days ahead? What idea might God give you to impact a nation?
