THE DOOR CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Greetings,

We have finally moved into the city of Norwalk.  This was something unexpected, but God had given us this vision months before, and after we had some complications from the city of Bellfower, we felt the time was right to open up in a new city.  Norwalk is the larger city in our vicinity neighboring Bellflower, and seems to hold tremendous fruit.  The location of our new building is in a great area, and we have seen an influx of visitors. 

We are excited to see this city won for Jesus. 

This conference was an excellent time.  The atmosphere was that of forging the future, and keeping God in the right perspective.  I have posted Pastor Mitchell's friday night sermon.  What a tremendous time!

As we focus on world evangelism, we thought it necessary to create a blog page specifically for churches working around the world.  The address is http://worldevangelism.blogspot.com and is located in our 'Additional Links' section to the left.

We will seek to provide information from the field.  Here are some of the works we will find reports on:

Benin                         Gabon

Liberia                        Puerto Rico

Sierra Leone               Guatemala

Greece                       Australia

Turkey                        France

Italy                            India

Chile

The following is a video from Pastor Joe and Julie Stephens in Megera, Greece:

Thanks Pastor Joe and Julie, we are praying for you.

Greetings,

Tucson Conference brought to me a new perspective this year, as I prayed and sought God for direction and wisdom for our church.  He brought to my attention world evangelism.

World evangelism has been a staple in our fellowship and has been one of our solid foundations over the years.

Africa Mission

As a fellowship, we continue and strive to send laborers into the harvest field, which carries such tremendous privilege as lives all around the globe are brought to salvation.

Thinking of all the years in the mother church, stirred to give to the nations, God began to stir in me a vision to see the work of God become a global focus. Through the preaching, I felt compelled to begin to draw our focus as a church into world evangelism. He brought to my attention that with privilege, comes responsibility. 

As I have prayed for direction in this new insight, I have felt compelled to assist the in its focus of world evangelism. As of today, has been sponsoring and for a number of years. I believe that as we grow in the Lord, it is also our responsibility to carry that privilege, and become part of a greater calling.  

I am pleased to say that in returning and implementing the vision in our church, I am excited to see the church body responding and capturing the vision. 

I would encourage all of us to take part in this great endeavor.  While it carries in it a tremendous promise, it also bears forth great need. Let us all strive to see this world won for Christ  Jesus. 

                                                                            Yours Faithfully,

                                                                             Pastor Eric Quiles

We were able to have our second baptism for some of the people from the church.  We followed it with a church picnic.  Everyone baptized seem to have the same desire- that they might know more about Jesus and what He has for them.  We are truly blessed to see people desiring more of God.

Praying at the Altar

We had a great time during our revival with Pastor Josh!  Every service there were people making decisions for Christ.  Those who came to the revival have continued to come, and we were able to baptize 4 new people the weekend after.  What a joy it is to see people making a stand for Christ and dedicating themselves to Him.

REVIVAL!

What do you think it takes for someone to get to heaven? Is it luck? Good deeds? Nothing at all? Or is there something more? The Bible has the real answer to this question. It's a matter of FAITH.

F stands for FORGIVENESS
We cannot have eternal life without God's forgiveness. Ephesians 1:7a says, "In Him (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins."

A is for AVAILABLE
Forgiveness is available for all. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." But forgiveness is not automatic. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven," says Matthew 7:21a.

I is for IMPOSSIBLE
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven because of who He is and because of who we are. God is loving and just, but His judgment is against sin. James 2:13a says, "Because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful." We are sinful people. Romans 3:23 tells us, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

T is for TURN
To turn means to repent. We can repent -- or turn -- from our sin and from ourselves. "But unless you repent, you too will all perish," Luke 13:3b says. We can also turn to Someone. Trust Christ alone. Romans 10:9 tells us how: "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

H is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life. Here, that means life "to the full:" "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10b)." In the hereafter, it means the promise of heaven: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am (John 14:3)."

So how can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. Take the step of faith described by another meaning of faith:

Forsaking
All
I
Trust
Him

You do this through a simple prayer reflecting your desire for Christ to change your life. You don't need fancy words--only an honest heart. You can pray something like this:

Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin, and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.

Accepting Christ is just the beginning of a wonderful adventure with God! Get to know Him better in a number of ways:
Follow Christ's example in baptism.

Join a church where you can worship God and grow in your faith.
In your church, get involved in Sunday School and Bible study.
Begin a daily personal worship experience with God where you study the Bible and pray.
