Encouragement is not what we give
others, but what God gives them
...through us.

Ciloa Director John McMath in Kenya

Ciloa...Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

A word from...Chuck

Ciloa has completed its 18^th year!!! Woohoo!! What a ride. God has worked through His people to touch the lives of millions around the world. Without your support, encouragement and contributions, there would be no Ciloa. Thanks. You've done a great job!

But there's still much to do. So sit back as we share a quick bit of what we're up to.

The Notes of Encouragement

As Notes continue to spread around the world, we want to acknowledge the great work of our growing band of writers---Lisa Brittain, Terry Coleridge, Janet Perez Eckles, Beverly Graham, John McMath, Sandy McMath, Cecil Murphey, John Naberhaus, Susan Paradise, Jody Romig, and Suzanne Taylor.

Got some encouragement you'd like to share? Let us know. We'd be glad to help you create your own Note of Encouragement. Just contact Tiffany at TiffanyLeavitt@ciloa.org.

LifeLines - JOBS

LifeLines has launched with JOBS---a collection of Notes with encouragement for issues, struggles and concerns we often face in the ever-challenging world in which we work. Notes change weekly with new insight. Check it out at www.Ciloa.org and tell us what you think.

We also want to start on the next topic area. Do you have a special area you would like to see discussed in past Notes? Let us know. We want to provide the encouragement you need.

Facebook

Our Facebook pages have been changing to better promote Ciloa's purpose and reach. Chuck's page continues to post bits of encouragement and engage readers, but now there is greater emphasis on the Ciloa page which has become the primary Facebook location for the Notes.

We've also been inviting our friends to the Ciloa page, which has risen in followers from 519 to 676 in just a few weeks. If you are on Facebook and have not yet "liked" the Ciloa page, please do. And tell others about this unique place where they can be encouraged each day.

Project EON!

The second test of this new small group format has finished and the results are in. Everyone loves EON! And they want more, so we will expand the program to 6 weeks. In the meantime, work continues on the final leader and member versions of the manuals.

By the way, we have received inquiries from pastors in Kenya interested in using the material. And we are working with our own Jody Romig who is seeking to start an EON! group in the Los Angeles area. If you'd like to bring EON! to your church or community or just want to know more about how to start your own group, let us know.

Thank you for joining us in God's call to encourage one another.
