From This Life to the Next

Dr. Wayne Boyer went home to be with the Lord last night. As a pastor and Executive Director of the Churches of God, General Conference, Wayne was a great missions motivator! He guided the CGGC to become the first denomination to join the Alliance for Saturation Church Planting following the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. He visited all of our missions fields prior to his retirement and was a gifted communicator of God's Word whether in the States or overseas.

Viewing will be held on Friday, December 9th from 6:30-9:00 p.m. at the Central Manor Church of God, 387 Penn Street, Washington Boro, PA.

Following private interment on Saturday morning, December 10th, a Memorial Service will be held at 11 a.m. at Central Manor Church to celebrate his life.

Condolence cards may be sent to:  Mrs. Kay Boyer, 53 Duncan Street, Lancaster, PA 17602. 

Many blessings to you as you remember Kay and the family in your prayers.

New Latino Ministry in Hilton Head, SC

The Resurrection Christian Community Church in Hilton Head, SC launched a couple years ago. Len Stubbs is their high energy Senior Pastor. The congregation is primarily Anglo, but also includes African-Americans and Latinos in their Sunday morning worship. The Lord has provided a wonderful facility for them on Spanish Wells Road in the NW part of the island. I was impressed with how the morning worship service was planned in such a way that the various cultures could feel "at home" and easily be engaged in the experience.

With many, many Latinos living on Hilton Head and the surrounding communities, Pastor Len saw the need to launch a Spanish-speaking worship service. After attempting to provide Spanish translation for an English-style worship, he discerned that finding key Latino leaders to develop their own style of service would be more effective.

The Lord led him to Daniel & Paoli Sanchez (originally from Chile) who sensed God's call and relocated from Pennsylvania to South Carolina. The revamped Latino outreach kicked off this summer. CGGC Latino Directors Caleb & Christina Acosta, along with some members from our Latino churches in Lancaster County, PA, visited the ministry in late summer to provide encouragement and guidance for Pastor Daniel & Paoli (pictured right). Since then, the ministry has steadily grown. They have Spanish-speaking worship on Sunday afternoon at 5pm and two home Bible studies during the week for discipleship and training.

Give thanks for the visionary leadership of the Stubbs and Sanchez families! Pray for their expanding ministries reaching out to diverse populations in the low country of South Carolina.
