Our passion is to build powerful vision and conviction in our hearts based on the wisdom of God found in the person of Jesus Christ. A passion and vision that will not only transform your life but fill you with the adventure of living a life that fights heroically against the darkness and senses the thrill of being a part of such an exciting project as is this Universe.

We will be hosting CDT Seminars every 2nd and 4th Tuesday evening at 7:30 P.M. at Cleburne Christian Fellowship.

Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty.

“Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives,we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God’s eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.

Psalm 178 states that God will keep us, “as the apple of His eye.”

THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE! You are special – Don’t ever forget it!

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold. Angry, he rose his voice to his father and said “with all your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father’s house, a sudden feeling of sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt.7:11, “And if ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?”

As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God’s blessings because we can’t see past our own desires?

• Care for the needy children in Mexico who don’t have parents or were neglected by their parents. We will cooperate with the social service of Mexico known as DIF.
• To raise the children to be godly men and women, to serve in their own country.
• Recognizing the fact that God has chosen the family unit to care for the child, we will cooperate if DIF wishes to return the child to his parents.
• We will not encourage out of the country adoptions, but be open to assisting adoptions within the country, and or arranging to place the children in small family settings.
• Recognizing the limiting factor of this arrangement, we will provide a larger facility to care for more children, endeavoring to keep a family setting.
• To provide an environment where the children thrive and learn the basic skills of life, and provide activities to that end.
• To have a Christian Day School with Christian teachers, and make an effort to assist the child in receiving recognition from the government for the schooling, if needed in the future.
