2 More Baptized into LIFE Ministries!

LIFE welcomes Elizabeth and her boyfriend Richie as they were both baptized into Christ this past Sunday!

Update!

God loves His people and to prove Himself faithful! This past Sunday, Kristen was baptized into Christ. The Lord has blessed LIFE Ministries (PICC Campus Ministry) with 24 baptisms, 4 placed memberships, and a strong united family since January of this year! That puts us at over 30 disciples in LIFE Ministries to end the year. It was announced this past Sunday that the Spirit is moving me to get ready for a church plant by going to the City of Angels church in August of 09 at the Global Leadership Conference. By faith next year, before August, we put before God a campus ministry of over 50 college student disciples as the Lord raises up another campus minister. The Spirit also blew this past week Marcel and Janelle to lead the Portland Campus Ministry in the new Portland International Christian Church. They had one of the most fruitful LIFE Talks this year at Mesa Community College. Please pray for Shay, Chenelle, Anthony, and myself as we travel to Kansas to spend Christmas with the family and those in our spiritual family in the church I was converted in 10 years ago as of last Saturday! This time of year is a time for us to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Let us all be sharing our faith with our families and friends over the holidays and get ready to take it even higher next year. Merry Christmas!

Love in Christ,

Mike Patterson
