CCFF Update & Our Visit to CA

"Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1b-2 (NKJV)

Hello Friends and Family,

It has been an exciting and busy season so far. At times we can be very busy with so much to do and yet at the same time we have found there are many things that can distract us from the call God has on each of our lives. The Bible says in Hebrews 12 that we need to continue "fixing our eyes on Jesus." That means we need to push aside the things that hinder us and focus on our relationship with Jesus Christ. There we will find our answers, our direction, our hope, our strategy, our identity, and our everything in Jesus.

We have been blessed to see firsthand that God has ordained that by feeding on His Word, His flock is strengthened, and that His sheep grow healthy and strong. The picture above is from one of our recent Sunday morning services as we pour out our hearts to God through worship. Friends, we are so excited about the future and that God is answering our prayers by raising up people to help us in this ministry. We know that we can't do it alone and praise God that we now have a Church leadership team of men who are meeting with Tim regularly and helping with oversight and ministry. God is the the author and finisher of our faith and it's such a joy to simply walk in the good plans He has for us.

We also want to say "thank you" for praying for our family and supporting us as we run the race God has called us to here. And yet, we can honestly say that the time flies as we watch our kids grow up! From Caleb's first hair-cut and first steps of walking, to Joshua swimming, playing sports, and graduating from preschool, we have seen how our little ones are on the move, and because of this we have been looking homes and ask that you join us in prayer. Also our exciting news is that will be making a trip out to California at the end of June, have have included our itinerary and some recent pictures for you, as we are looking forward to seeing all of you in Chico soon!

Update from the Molter Family & CCFF

Hebrews 6:10 NKJV "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister."

Hello Friends and Family,

We serve a loving God who is with us all of the time and God doesn't forget our work and our labor of love which we do in His Name. Over the last couple of months we have had the privilege of seeing people give their life to Jesus and also people who have rededicated their life to the Lord. What a joy! Beloved we are so thankful for your constant prayers, love, and support for our family and the church that God is establishing. To our church family back at Calvary Chapel Chico, we want to also say thank you for your generous gift of a soundboard P.A. audio system for our church services. We were able to use it recently for Harvest America also and God did an amazing work. We've included some pictures as well and may the Lord bless you friends.

Family Fun!

What a bundle of joy our boys are and they are growing up so fast!

College Bible Study Group on Wednesday Nights

What a blessing to be a part of ministering to this group of college students! According to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 84% of people in the state of Minnesota call themselves Christians, yet only 25% attend church, read their Bible, or pray in a given week. Our hope is help the next generation live radical lives for Jesus Christ!

College Men's Bible Study on Thursday Nights

Many of these guys have either become born-again or rededicated their lives to the Lord. From broken homes to the family of God, from drugs to freedom in Christ, from religious rituals to the grace of Jesus, and such a diverse group of people here yet we all have unity in Jesus Christ. For many it's the first time they get real Biblical answers to their questions and it's awesome to see them grow in their love and knowledge of God.

Harvest America 2016 Outreach

Last year we had too many buffering issues at the YMCA where we meet on Sunday mornings so this year we went big, at the Bigwood Event Center and had a much larger turn out. Praise God! There were 55 people who came out for the Harvest America simulcast and when the invitation was given to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord 4 people stood up. Yet you could hear that many more prayed to God for salvation as well. To God be all the glory! Great things He has done!

Praise Reports:

• Praise God for the core group within the church fellowship and men who are rising up to help
• Praise the Lord for His faithfulness in providing and caring for our family and for His church here
• Praise God for helping us not grow weary while doing good and for renewing our joy to serve Him

Prayer Requests:

• For us to continue to build relationships with people and to have boldness to share the Gospel with them
• For God to continue to add to His church those who are being saved and that we would help them grow
• For the fellowship here to have wisdom in saving and locating a future building for church services

May the blessings of the Lord Jesus be upon you all!

Merry Christmas from the Molter Family & CCFF

Merry Christmas!

Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

Peace is what the world is looking for, and the word peace in Luke 2:14 is the Jewish word shalom which means much more than a truce in the battles of life. It means wellbeing, health, prosperity, security, soundness, and completeness. It has to do more with character than circumstances. Life was difficult at that time just as it is today. Yet the birth of Jesus drew the angels from heaven to proclaim peace to all mankind. Our hearts' prayer is that you would walk daily with the Prince of Peace - Christ Jesus!

Here are a few pictures highlighting the awesome things God is doing in Fergus Falls, MN.

Blessed with an abundance of gifts for Operation Christmas Child and for our son Joshua who has a big heart to help!

Thankful for Wayne (who was Tim's twin) and his wife Tammy who were looking for a few years to find a church that teaches through the Bible. God is so good!

Grateful to see so many College students sing to Jesus at this year's Cru fellowship on M-State Fergus Falls campus.

Grateful and blessed by Summer Root who came to share God's word with us and encourage us all with what the Lord is doing on the mission field in Africa.

Overfilled with Joy as we watched our little Caleb turn 1 year old! Thank you Jesus!

Thankful for Kwende and Heather as they raise their little Natasha to love Jesus! Glory to God!

Blessed by Andy and Pam who were also looking for years to find a church that simply teaches through the Bible. Praise God!

And we are blessed and thankful for the others who have made a commitment to follow Jesus and have chosen Calvary Chapel as the place to grow closer to the Lord! We are thankful ultimately for Jesus who went from the cradle to the cross because God desires for all to be saved!

Praise Reports:

• Praise God as we now have a solid core group within the church fellowship
• Praise the Lord for His faithfulness in providing and caring for our family
  
• Praise God for new believers coming to church, may they grow in the Lord

Prayer Requests:

• For wisdom in purchasing and financing a building for church services
• For us to continue to build relationships and be bold to share the Gospel
  
• For us to find our joy in the Lord and seek constant refreshment from Him

From all of us we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
