It's time to get up and go!  

Friends, ladies, gentleman, brothers and sisters,

There are so many people in Ramapo that need to hear the gospel.  And we are the ones who are going to tell them!  What a privilege to be able to share the Good News of the Savior with everyone.  

So please join us for our first outreach tonight at 6:30PM at the fishbowl!  

You will receive a task tonight to see how you can share the gospel with everyone at Ramapo.  

You may experience rejection.  You may become unpopular.  You will be facing your fears.  But you will please the Father!  You will receive great joy!  Your reward is in heaven!  

I will see you brave souls tonight!

PS: If you are planning to be late, please contact me on my cell so I can tell you where we are.

Have you received a happy face today? If you haven't, you will soon!
Guilty party: the CCN Family!


It is not enough for the CCN members to have awesome fellowship... Rather, these are people who have a desire to be prepared with the Truth of the Word of God!

Today's topic:
Christ died to show the wealth of God's love and grace for sinners!

Join us today for prayer: Fishbowl at 6:30PM

SPECIAL NOTE:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRYSTA!



We are so grateful to have you as part of the CCN family!
The best of it all is that not only are you growing older and gaining wisdom from life experiences, but that you are growing more and more and maturing in the knowledge of God!

PROPITIATION???

On Tuesday we had awesome time in prayer.  If you are receiving this emails, then you are the one we are praying for!  

We also studied something that you may have never even heard about...  "propitiation."  It is one of the most important words in Scripture
.  It is what God has done for everyone of his children:  Providing a substitute, Jesus, to absorb the just wrath of God because of our sin (lying, lusting, stealing, pride, etc), and then giving us the favor that we do not deserve.  

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the (wrath absorbing) propitiation for our sins." 1 John 4:10


Come this Thursday and you too will be strengthened in your theology.  
You will learn one of the most hated biblical truths, that will bring you amazing joy.   If it brings joy to the Christian, then why is it hated?  

Truth:  Sinfulness of Man

Thursday: 6:30PM @ Fishbowl
See you there!

Ramapo!

God's grace is definitely with ya'll!  

We are meeting this Tuesday at 6:30PM for Prayer and worship!  We will also be answering the question: Why did Jesus die?  and we will be talking about the answer:  To satisfy the wrath of God!  

If you have songs that you want to play as we pray and worship, bring it on!  

I'm loving it! 

See you all at the Fishbowl!


Weekend praise: CCN Saturday was great!  I had the opportunity to speak to a young man who is a part of the Nation of Islam.  This religion is sadly interesting.  One of the things believed is that the "white man is the devil."  Jamel, the young man with whom I spoke, was actually a very nice guy.  He told me that he did not believe that himself. I hope not.  He was very interested in what I had to say about his main problem, "sin," and how Islam did not have an answer for it, but we Christians do (the sacrifice of Jesus!).  He asked honest questions and the Lord was really opening His eyes.  He was so happy that I spoke to him that he did not want to leave! We spoke for about an hour, and then prayed for him.  Please keep him in prayer.  I really believe God is drawing him.  Join us in CCN and learn how you too can share your faith with people from other faiths and philosophies, every Thursday at 6:30PM @ the Fishbowl.

What a Glorious God We Serve!

We had a great weekend together, filled with the Word of God, evangelism, fellowship, worship, apologetics training, open-air preaching, lives that were touched, people coming to repentance and faith in Christ, and many praise reports!

Here is a quick recap...
[click images to enlarge]



"What's New in Creation Research?"
On Friday, we attended an awesome event about Creation Science. It was very informative and included highlights of 2008 International Conference on Creationism, which included a new state of the art genetic mutation simulation program that absolutely demonstrates the impossibility of mutation + natural selection producing genome.





As usual, our monthly CCN Saturday was wonderfully blessed, as we joined together for a day of fasting, prayer, worship, Word, one-to-one street evangelism, open-air preaching and godly fellowship!


We begun the day at Montclair State University, gathering for prayer, worship, and the Word of God. The message was on boldness.



We hit the streets for one-to-one evangelism and open-air preaching. There were many Muslims and professing Christians, who were not born-again and often clearly admitted so. We lovingly shared the gospel with them, filled with compassion, urgency, and boldness...



The brethren from Ramapo College of New Jersey stopped by with Blair Wingo, a wonderful sister in the Lord and poet, who performed a poetic evangelistic outreach at the college the night before.




One of the many testimonies: Some of the CCN members came out for the first time to share their faith after learning how in their CCN fellowship. Among them was Malita, who led a young woman, Laticia, to Christ.

Laticia made a profession of faith and was extremely grateful for the conversation. We exchanged information and she eagerly listened to our warnings about the trials, temptations, and tribulations that were sure to come. We instructed her to hold fast to Jesus, who would uphold her. When we asked how she felt, she said that she was so relieved to finally have "hope", referring to her life and afterlife. We assured her that Jesus is indeed our only hope.

There were many other testimonies of open hearts and grateful listeners that greatly encouraged us and brought such joy. Christ was truly glorified in Newark on Saturday!




Afterwards, we broke bread in the Student Center at Montclair State University. It was a joyous time of celebration and praise!

We pray that you will make it out to our future activities and current fellowships! Why miss out on what God is doing?
