So, what happened?

What was once a time to celebrate the birth o a Savior has somehow

turned into a season o stress, trafc jams and shopping lists. Is this

really what we want out o Christmas? What i Christmas became a

world-changing event again? Jesus brought the gits o reedom,

restoration and joy.

Join the Advent Conspiracy and enter the story o Christmas with the

Christ Fellowship amily.

The story of Christs birth is a story ofpromise, hope and a revolutionary love.

As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, a specialChristmas tradition or our church amily is to give back to Christ

with the Christs Birthday Offering. This oering will make a

signicant impact or the hurting and homeless in our community

and around the world. Every dollar goes toward helping those

in need with ood, housing, schooling, medical needs orthousands o orphans, and sharing the message o Christ.

This year we ask thateveryone participates in theChrists Birthday Oering to help make a difference

in someones life in 2011.

Urban Youth ImpactGrandma Pats story of blessing

Grandma Pats grandson, Travar, started attendingUrban Youth Impact (UYI) at age 9 and gave his lifeto Christ. His grandmother saw the change inhis life and decided to make the same choice.She got involved with the UYI Parent Program

and has been serving as the par t-time ParentProgram Coordinator for the last six years.

At this time last year, Grandma Pat found herselfthe caretaker of her three grandchildren wholost their mother. They lived in a small, run downapartment and all three kids shared a room.Chris and Colleen Tress saw the perfect homefor Grandma Pat. The house cost $19,000 and itneeded $16,000 to renovate. They believed that God wanted to give this house toGrandma Pat through the body of Christ. The community came together to makethis happen and surprised Grandma Pat on New Years Day 2010.

Since the devastating earthquake, Haiti is on a journeyto rebuild and we are here to help. This year our Waterfor Life project is focused on Haiti.

Give the gift of clean water by placing your change in

the water jugs or by making a donation to the ChristsBirthday Oering.

Throughout the year ourChrists Birthday Ofering helps byProviding resources and support to our global mission partners in

Haiti, India and around the world.

HaitiOutreach:In addition to Christophers story,

our missions teams built bunk beds and

provided shoes or the children o Haiti.

What is the Value of a Cup of Water?

In a rural village in central India, the Thevoor Life Center becomes the center of activity.

A new and clean community water well is another reason for people of the Hindu faithto come to a Christian Life Center. Not only do these villages have clean water, they arealso hearing about the love of Jesus. Thanks to the generosity of the Christ Fellowship

family, the Water for Life project is impacting families. In 2010, we were able to drillwater wells in India and even purchase the rig for drilling.

A Haitian boy isolated

in a silent world

Christopher is a hearing impaired child in Haiti who communicates

by grunting and yelling. Since there are no schools for the hearingimpaired in his village, he is isolated in a silent world. Theda is anASL Interpreter who traveled to Haiti to help Christopher communi cate.

She was able to show him sign language and work with ash cardsto help him connect with others.

This is only one story of the many lives impacted by the generosityof the Christ Fellowship family. We are continuing the mission toHaiti this year. Prayerfully consider what you will give toward the

Christs Birthday Offering for the ministry in 2011.

Throughout the year ourChrists Birthday Ofering helps byServing those in need and sharing the love o Christ both locally and internationally.

Ministry Center

Each year our impact in the Belle Glade Community has grown. In 2011, we will

launch an expanded initiative to create a Ministry Center in Belle Glade, bringingthe help and hope of Christ to a broken community. This center will become aplace to provide both biblical and life skills training in this area. Our prayer isthat people will experience the life-giving hope of Christ.

Mission Base

The crisis in Haiti is ever-expanding and our response asa church is ever-increasing. In addition to our continued

support of the orphanages in Port-au-Prince andSaint Marks and our medical missionary work, wewill begin the foundations of a permanent mission

base within the country. This will be a center not onlyfor missionaries from our church, but for others whowant to minister to the people of Haiti. We believe we

can build a mission base that becomes a lighthouse tothe nation and calls it back to God.

Homelessness and Hunger Initiative

CF stands committed to fulll Gods call to take care of widows andorphans. This commitment reaches from the inner-city of West

Palm Beach to the remote migrant farming communities of BelleGlade and South Bay. CF represents the faith communitys heartof compassion in the development of the Palm Beach County TenYear Plan to End Homelessness.

The issue of hunger is something that we have become immune to aswe hear or read about it in developing countries. However; when we

understand that this plagues neighbors in our very own community,we must rise up and take the lead to end hunger in our backyard.

Christian Outreach Centers inNew Orleans and Baton Rouge

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf States, destroying lives,communities and churches. Not only did we respond in those rst days and

weeks, but we have continued to pour into the spiritual rebuilding of that

region. In 2010, CF helped plant a church in the Gulf States and has partneredwith Christian organizations that are feeding the poor and needy. In 2011, we

will continue to invest in Christian Outreach Centers in New Orleans and BatonRouge and continue to rebuild churches to share the hope of Christ.

Global Forum

Last year CF stepped up and launched a ministr y toabolish human tracking here at home and aroundthe world. In 2011, that ministry will take on a greater

challenge as we partner with ministries to host a GlobalForum in the Spring to train local government ocialsand church leaders on the crisis here in South Florida.

Plans are underway to begin a Christian safe house fortracked women and children in our region.

Germany, Sweden and Switzerland

God is still moving in Europe. In 2011, we want to increaseour support of the church there. We will continue to equip

and train pastors in the UK and Eastern Europe, andmake nancial investments into specic congregationsin Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. We believe our

partnership and resources can enhance and strengthenthe work of God on that continent.
