Amy is in Paraguay

Amy left yesterday with our church team to Paraguay.  Please pray that they arrive safely and that they will have a blessed time ministering to the people while they are there.

Happy Mother's Day

Hope that all the mothers had a blessed Mother Day.  You deserve it!

From Pride to Surrender

"It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God."
2 Corinthians 3:5 (NLT)

A.W. Tozer -- "The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us."

C. S. Lewis -- "The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because he made us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own."

Happy Easter

We hope that everyone had a very blessed Easter.  We are always amazed by what Jesus did for all of mankind.  How blessed we are!

God Bless,
The Killen's

Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Race

Eli had his Pinewood Derby Race with Cub Scouts this past weekend. His car did pretty good. He made it into the winners bracket by winning a few races. Eli was real excited. Then he started losing to the faster cars. He started pouting a little. It was funny to see each of the boys go through this same similar transition.

By the end, they all had fun. One of those hard life lessons learned: win some, lose some.

Christians around the world

Pray for the countries of Morocco and Nigeria:

Andy and Lizet Bowen

We recently had a chance to meet Andy and Lizet Bowen who currently are serving in Paraguay. They visited our church and Andy spoke about their ministry. They work with English-speaking missionaries to help them learn the Guarani language (one of Paraguay’s two national languages) and Paraguayan culture.

Who knows, maybe we will learn Guarani from them one day?
