FOLLOWING JESUS
We were challenged this Sunday in a couple of ways to truly follow Jesus. First by the lives of Carl and Julie Gaede.  Carl grew up in our church, went to Biola and married Julie. They had a good life settling down in Wisconsin. Carl said that they traded in a "good life" for a "great life" as they followed the Lord's call for them to go to Uganda! 

There in Uganda, they founded a ministry called Tutapona which means "We Will Heal" and is a trauma counseling ministry. This war-torn country has many broken lives. Tutapona shares how to cope and about our Christ with the broken. It is a beautiful picture of FOLLOWING JESUS!  You can hear more from Carl online

In the worship service, we celebrated the Beck family dedicating their youngest child to follow Jesus all of his life.

Pastor Phil then centered a short and challenging message on that same topic of FOLLOWING JESUS.
Listen to this message online

That is what our church family is all about, so it's no great surprise that we would spend all Sunday looking at it from different vantage points!
