No Matter What Happens
God Can Bring Good Out of Anything
We know that in all that happens, God works for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. Psalms 34:1
The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
“The worker deserves his wages.” I Timothy 5:17, 18
CMFE MINISTRIES
All CMFE district missionaries and pastors received love gifts and Christmas gifts. Their hearts are overjoyed and full compassion despite the hardships of the past year. We thank all our donors for answering the call to help the pastors and workers of Christian Mission in the Far East.

He said that the community likes the news about the CMFE churches. They’ve heard positive things about the ministries.
The CMFE sent four large boxes of canned goods, used clothes, shoes, vitamins, chocolates and more. We are preparing more boxes to send. When one of the board members went to buy shipping boxes, the line was long, and it was near closing time but the worker at the LBC store continued to help all those in line.
