The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become. -Henry Martyn

“One of the many great things about LCMC is the ability for congregations to support ministries, missions and benevolence causes directly. This gives owner-ship and responsibility to examine God’s call to them to be good stewards of His blessings.”

Rev. Kip Tyler, Chair LCMC Board of Trustees

Just 1% I came across a short article enti-tled: How To Find Success Late In Life by James Altucher . At the end of the article James writes,

“If you try to get 1% better each day at your health, at your relationships and the way you treat people, at your creativity, and at turning despair into gratitude, then that 1% compounds into an amaz-ing person. Do that 1%. Take one action. Even if the action is (sic) for one minute. The 1/1/1 strategy. I know this. Because I’m still com-pounding. What is 1%? Whatever you want it to be. The math of life is multi-dimensional. What happens to amazing people? Everything happens to them. And you never worry about what you accomplish. Because there is no ONE thing. There is EVERY thing. And every day.” Jesus says, “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.” (Matthew 6:22-23 ESV) In Jesus’ day, people believed that light shone out from the body through the eye. Here Jesus refers to spiritual health producing a

“bountiful eye.” Thus, an eye full of light means the whole person is healthy and generous. The whole life full of light gets better each day at becoming healthy in spirit, body and mind; affecting relationships, the way you treat others, how you think, what you say and do in your Christian creativity. You receive God’s grace to reject Satan and have Jesus turn despair into grati-tude for His transforming love and protection. The simple but necessary basics of the Christian faith and life needs but 1% (remember the parable of the mustard seed?). But that 1% of faith in Jesus turns you into an amazing person! That faith, in turn, empowers and motivates you to do one simple thing for someone in the name of Jesus and for His glory; even if it’s for one minute. Then the compounding begins - but not in the same way as Altu-cher says. The compounding takes place in our relationship with Jesus and others; not just in ourselves. The Apostle Paul says, “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one an-other by showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospi-tality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is hon-orable in the sight of all.” (Romans 12:9-17 ESV) These attributes of us Christians begin even with 1%. We are in a

growing proc-ess in our lives, mission and ministry. Now there’s a difference between the article which is focused on the per-son’s ability to do it themselves and the Christian. While we are not to worry nor be obsessed with what we are accom-plishing – we are only to be faithful to Jesus – we do need to be aware of the realities that we Christians face each and every day. We amaz-ing Christians do indeed have every-thing happen to us; and not just positive things. There is awful stuff, too. Jesus and the Apostles Luke and Paul say, for example:

“I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves…. ” Matthew 10:16

“And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem….” (Luke writ-ing in the book of Acts following Stephen’s martyrdom) Acts 8:1

“’For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are re-garded as sheep to be slaugh-tered.’” (Paul citing Psalm 44:22) Romans 8:36 So the bottom line is that even be-ginning with a faith in Jesus at 1% and growing by 1%, we are being prepared by Jesus for a 100% that will happen to us, come what may. The wonderful thing is that Jesus is preparing us and helping us grow into the everything. Grow in Jesus by 1% every day and Jesus will make you into an amazing person, ready for action!

In Jesus’ service,

Pastor Fred Westerhold

Members of Christ Community Lutheran, On Tuesday

evening, May 19th, our members had the wonderful experience of hearing Charla Pereau share her love and efforts in growing the Baja mission - Foundation For His Ministry. If you heard Charla speak, you probably asked, “What made Charla so special that she accom-plished so much in Baja, Mexico?” As she told her story, you got the sense that Chuck and Charla had the “normal” lifestyle as other Californians in the 1960’s and 70’s. He was a career fireman, while she stayed at home raising five children.

What became clear was her pas-sion, her having a vision, her being willing to ask, and her unwilling-ness to accept “No” as an answer. BUT MORE THAN THESE – Charla also models, to you and me, an unbound-ing faith, a resolve to pray, pray, and pray some more, and to daily use God-given gifts to the fullest. I walked out of church that night thinking how we probably will be having Charla back at CCLC 20 years from now, telling us of many more changes and successes of the Baja Ministry! (Hhmm, that would be in 2035!) Good people, we need to and must

learn from Christian servants such as Charla and Chuck. At this time, Christ Community is deliberating the opportunities of finding a new home, reaching our community in better ways, growing our congre-gation, growing our education op-portunities. My hope is that, like Charla, we develop an unbound-ing faith and trust in our Lord to the utmost – he is the only Rock. Like Charla, we resolve to pray, pray, and pray some more. Like Charla, we use our God-given gifts to the fullest! You can tell I was impressed with Charla and her efforts. But I was more impressed with how God so abundantly blessed and guided her in her work for the Lord. May we also live each day – dedicated to Him. In Christ, Bruce Grohn CCLC’s Council President

MY FATHER’S ADVICE TO ME WAS. . .

. . .to maintain good credit and pay your bills first. He taught me by example to always listen and learn something new every day.

Page 5 Making A Difference

Christ Community Lutheran Church's mission trip to Foundation for His Ministry in Baja was a huge success and we all came away with much more than we took...or left. The privilege of being in their midst...of attending Sala...or daily devotions with them...of hearing a young child, standing on a stool with a microphone as big as they are, say grace before each meal...of house sitting for any of the ages from 2-4 to 8-18....to have them help you with their language... to watch them enjoy the simplest thing....to hear your name called by one of them from

across a courtyard...when you thought you were just one of many and how could you make an impact. Even people in town were glad to see us. The skeptic would say " Oh sure, because you had money and would buy stuff." The Christians would know it's because, simply put, they have Jesus in their hearts! To go with the hope that I could teach them this or that...or I will take them this or that....or they need this or that...then come away with the knowledge they have the most important thing…

the Gospel of Jesus and Christian teachers...and all they want is someone to share the indwelling love of the Holy Spirit. So the best thing I could take was me. The only thing I could teach them was a few English words to make it easier for them to spread what they know about Jesus.... which they do energetically. Every where we went we were greeted with a handshake and asked our name....and they re-membered....and in John 10:3 we read "He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out." Praise the Lord!

Between March 13 and April 28th, I was in Crimea. The purpose of the trip was to follow up on the past year of ministry

and get an idea of the current situa-tion so as to make decisions about future ministry.

I visited (interviewed) all 22 pas-tors that I work with, as well as 7 Sunday School teachers and 2 medical colleagues. In general, the church ministries continue but the medical work in Crimea has stopped. Personally, the trip was a gift as it did much for me to be able to see and talk with all the people I have worked and been friends with for the past 16 years. I am now in England for a week. For the same purpose as my trip to Crimea, I plan to be in Ukraine from May 6 to June 28th.

So what does this mean for minis-try? I don't know yet. I have lived in the uncomfortable place of 'I don't know' for well over a year now. But my comfort isn't God's highest priority. My confidence in Him, however, is and that is the place where I am trying to stay. As I move into the second half of the trip - a 2 month research visit into Ukraine - I covet your prayers for travel safety, wisdom and obe-dience.

I’VE LEARNED: that my dad will never be color coordinated. -age 11

MY FATHER’S ADVICE TO ME WAS. . .

My father was a man who put God, Family & Country first. He taught me how to work a days work for a days pay! No free lunch! If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. As long as you put your feet under my table you will be in church on Sunday morning after cows are milked & chores are done, no matter what hour you got in from the Saturday evening dance. You respect your elders and those in au-thority. The Ten Command-ments were the basis of how the family functioned!

Growing up #9 of 10 children on a North Dakota farm, family was very important. I learned most everything from my par-ents and the “school of hard knocks” from my older sib-lings!

Why I was stuck with the name Arlois no one wants to take credit for. My mother & dad said my older siblings did that — now that explains why I am called “Jug”! I thank my parents for the Christian up-bringing I had and tried to pass it on to my children. With God’s help it has worked. GOD BLESS! Jug Bauer

Nick and Heidi Forrest along with their children, Hannah, Hailey and Nolan, have been serving with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in Arusha, Tanzania since August of 2011. They have partnered with YWAM in their ef-forts to evangelize and bring the Kingdom of God to the Maasai people. On May 3, 2015 Christ Commu-nity congregation had the privi-lege to hear Nick Forrest share about his family’s ministry in Tan-zania. There have been many challenges for them but also many blessings as they see the Holy Spirit working in the lives of the Maasai people. Our prayers go with the Forrest family as they continue traveling in the U.S. and when they return to their mission work in Arusha, Tanzania.

One of the mission projects sponsored by Christ Community Lutheran Church is sending support to our military troops stationed in remote areas overseas. This can also be one of the most fulfilling. Any member can contribute to this project at any level and know that they are supporting those brave young men and women fighting on be-half of our country. Gifts to the troops can take the form of treats, pow-dered drink mixes, cards, and reading ma-terials such as magazines and Bibles. Funding for shipping these items comes from dona-tions in the basket, designated giving, and the Missions Commit-tee, with any shortfall being sup-plemented in part by Michelle Pe-terson and her mother. Michelle tries to send a shipment every six

to eight weeks via APO/FPO mail boxes.

The selection of which units to support isn’t an easy one with many stationed around the world.

So the Missions Commit-tee put together guide-lines used to select the troops who will receive our shipments. The unit must be stationed on the front lines without a base or commissary access. They need to have some connection to our church family or an Oregon resi-dent. The units selected must also have members

who have little or no family sup-port. Basically, they try to select a unit with the most need. Submitted by Bill Pavlisick and Michelle Peterson

NOTE: Next shipment will be in July.

Everyone Welcome!

JUNE 7 - 6:00 PM

at the River Center 3000 S. Santiam Hwy

We are Jimmy and Lauren Beck, and with our daughter Eva we seek to reach college students with the Gospel. We work with Campus Crusade for Christ at Oregon State University in Corvallis. 1/3 of all Americans who doubt the existence of God are under 30. Our desire is to see this generation have the opportunity to experience the

true God in a real way and put their faith in Christ. We seek to do that on college campuses by encouraging students to think about the Bible through large group meetings, small groups, retreats and confer-ences, and individual disciple-ship. Please pray with us that God would turn lost college students into Christ-centered laborers who see themselves as active members of God's work on campus, in the work-place, and around the world.

MY FATHER’S ADVICE TO ME WAS. . .

The Captain said to me when I was just about to be drafted into the military, "You have your degree, so why not shop around the services and see which one can offer you the best deal." I did. I went to the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and the Air Force. The Air Force seemed to be the best choice, so the rest is history....! Peter Butler

CCLC, how does our garden grow?

The “Benevolence Garden” of corn has been planted and is growing! Once again we thank David McCready for providing the five acres of land and planting the corn. When the time is ripe (right) we will need “corn pickers” on Friday evenings and “corn sellers” on Saturdays. Start making your plans to help with this annual summer fund-raiser for our mission outreach!
