Cathy and I will be attending a meeting with pastors from the leading missions churches in America on Monday and Tuesday next week. This past fiscal year we gave over $1,500,000 to missions around the world. I am amazed at your generosity in the midst of challenging economic times. I will always believe that this is one of the significant reasons God’s blessing is on our church family. The meeting is being in held in Maine. It will be our first visit to the state of Maine. We are tacking on a couple extra days on the front of this trip to see Nate and Lisa (our oldest son and daughter-in-law). They recently moved to New York so we will get a chance to see them in their new environment.
In my absence on Sunday, Doug will bring the wrap-up message to our family theme for the month. It is going to be a great day as we continue to experience God’s presence and open our hearts to His Word.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

Go Girl
THANK YOU FOR CARING!! Last year our Capital family gave $1,083,000 to missions work in the United States and in 76 countries around the world. All this in the midst of the worst recession we have seen in several decades. It is a great honor to participate in sharing the hope we have in Jesus with the world. Please consider joining with us in contributing monthly to this world-wide mission.
$10 a month provides a day of radio programming in Indonesia.
$20 a month provides 40 audio Bibles to disciple new believers in their own language.
$25 a month provides diapers and formula for a newborn orphan in Romania.
$30 a month provides a lifetime of clean water for three families in a third world country.
$40 a month provides tuition, room and board for a national pastor to be trained for ministry in their own country.
Sunday is Mother’s Day. I am looking forward to gathering for lunch with my family which will include my mom, my wife, my daughter who is now a mother, and Judah, the seven month old light of our lives. “Go Girl” is the theme of the day. It is going to be a joy-filled day!
Remember . . . God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).

Uncommon Impact
Labels: Capital Christian Center, faith promise, Missions, Rick Cole, Rob Hoskins, Sacramento church
Cathy and I have been to Siberia and Peru to distribute Bible’s to thousands of children, youth, and parents who had never had a copy of God’s Word before our arrival. We were moved beyond words by the joy we saw on so many faces that were coming to know Jesus for the first time. The man who provided these opportunities for us will be in our services this Sunday. I am excited for you to meet him.
Rob Hoskins has overseen expansion of new methods for sharing the message of the Bible with children and youth. One such innovation is The GodMan children's animated film. Research shows that one in five people in the world cannot read, which prompted Rob to lead his team to produce a kid-friendly film that tells the life story of Jesus. Customized for 9 cultural worldviews and translated into more than 70 languages, The GodMan has been viewed by more than 10 million children and youth in hosted showings and by hundreds of millions more who have had the opportunity to watch The GodMan on television. Our worldview will be expanded through what we will experience this week.
Please be praying about making a pledge to world missions for the next six months. We have partnerships with over 300 missionaries around the world and your monthly gift to missions will help us to expand these partnerships even further. There is no greater blessing than participating in reaching people with the message of God’s eternal love!
Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Jesus Loves the Outcast
Labels: Capital Christian Center, Jason Harper, Jesus Loves You This I Know, Missions, Rick Cole, Sacramento church
Jesus Loves You This I Know. This is the title of a book our outreach pastor, Jason Harper, has co-authored. The book is attracting significant attention and has climbed into the top 100 of all books sold this past week. Join us Sunday as Jason addresses the chapter from the book concerning Jesus’ love for the outcast. It would be great if you would consider inviting a friend to join you for this life transforming teaching.
Also, I would like to encourage you to prayerfully consider participating in our missions outreach. Every six months, we determine what we can give on a monthly basis to reach the world with the message of God's love. Sunday, October 25, is our next commitment day for this purpose. We spend a lot of money on consuming things for our own pleasure. When we give something away in order to touch someone else for eternity, we attract God’s favor and blessing. Please consider making a commitment to give a specific amount each month to reach our world.
John 15:15-17 "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other."
