    Abiding with Christ and being fruitful

    0

    Was your year good? How did you evaluate it? You need to learn a secret that Jesus shared with his disciples. He asked them to ‘remain’ in him. He said that there would be much fruit and blessing for those who remained with him.  All he was asking us to do was to abide in his love. If you look back at your year, would you be able to say that you abided in Christ? Or maybe then you were busy with many things.

    Many of us are very busy with Life. The common complaint is that we have no time for people, family, personal growth and sadly often we have not time for God. We are called by god to bear fruit in abundance. So how then with our busy schedules should we do that? There are five ways.

    Our GOAL for this New Year

    0

    The team at TLC has been praying and fasting for many days over the theme for the next year.

    At one such meeting it was unanimously decided, looking back on the events and prophecies of 2009, that 2010 should be a year of ’mission’, ’evangelism’. And to accomplish that, Franco preached a prophetic message for this year about ‘abiding’ in Christ.

    So this new year, as we are looking to have more fruit, increasing numbers and many added members, we have aligned many of our meetings on Sundays, cell groups etc to fit in with the goal for this year. This blog will have more on the new ideas that we will use this year. Coming up soon is the article on ‘Abiding with Christ for fruits’. Will be put up in two days. God bless you!

    Thank You TLC!

    Michael & Destiny Bell along with Destiny’s sister Bethany are from the USA and have been coming to TLC during their stay in Mumbai for Mike’s MBA from Welingkar University. While they were with us they regularly helped with Karuna (TLC’s work among the leprosy) and Jyoti (a children’s home). In a short time they really fellowshipped with This is a short letter written by them about their experience:

    Dear Tree of Life Church,

    We have learned so much from you in our short time here. Thank you for being a faithful people who are committed to prayer! We were not here a week and Franco and his family came to pray for Destiny while she was sick! And we have watched you care for one another – and even unbelievers – in this way. Your prayer lives have challenged us and helped to increase our faith.

    Thank you for making relationships a top priority. Your hospitality has been such a means of grace for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you for having us over for meals and for helping us to get to know the area!

    Your church has invested so much in us though you knew we would only be here a short time. You have helped to equip us for the next season of our lives. We have learned so much from your knowledge and the way you live your lives.

    When people in America ask us what our favorite part of India is, we always say – without hesitation – Tree of Life Church! We are forever grateful to you.

    We have grown to love and care for you and look forward to hearing the ways God uses this church for His glory. May the gospel go forth!

    Much Love,

    Michael & Destiny Bell,
    Bethany Babb

    P.S. – Destiny and Bethany have GREATLY enjoying helping with the Karuna work and the children’s center in Chembur. Thank you for this opportunity!
