Welcome to the 2nd

Newsletter of

the Source Church.

I want to thank you for taking the

time to read what God is doing

through our ministry and continuing

to support us with your prayers and

finances.

So here is our update: we landed in

South Florida August 12th

. We

spent the first month settling into

our homes, putting together furni-

ture from IKEA, getting the kids

placed in school, and learning the

area around us. The second month

we concentrated on finding jobs in

order to offset the cost of living in

South Florida. The sunshine comes

with a price; multiply everything by

5 to understand the reality of what

the cost of living is here in South

Florida. Now that Duane, Josue,

and I have found jobs we have

taken this third month as an oppor-

tunity to begin meeting as a small

Pembroke Pines, Florida Pastor Christopher Cassis

group (pictured below).

Our small group meets to read the

Bible, discuss what God is doing in

our lives, and pray for one an-

other. Our goal is to begin three

small groups by February in order

to begin our preview worship ser-

vices by spring. The scary thing

about small groups is that they can

meet for weeks, months, or years

and never experience any growth.

This does not seem to be the case

with us. In just a short time God has

brought individuals into our group

and enabled us to connect with

more and more people. An exam-

ple is that Vivy and I connected

with a nice couple with a few kids

at the pool just last week. We plan

on setting up a play date and invit-

ing them to a Bible study in the

near future.

What we continue to find is that

many of the people we are meeting

dont know the stories of the Bi-

ble. They seem to have a general

hunger for God, but have a limited

understanding of Jesus Christ.

Many of them have never pos-

sessed or read a Bible in their life.

This excites me for God has not

only given us an opportunity to

start a church, but to expand His

Kingdom by explaining Gods love

and amazing grace to others. Wehope you enjoy the pictures in this

newsletter. Please pray for God to

continue to connect us with those

who need to hear His gospel mes-

sage of salvation. PastorChris
