"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever,"

(Hebrews 13:8).

For me, one of the strongest testimonies to the power of God and the truth of his Word is that his church is the same no matter where you go - in all nations, languages, and time periods. Even within the same city you can find differing opinions and teachings about how to follow God, be saved, etc. Yet when the Bible is truly the standard, it transcends culture.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."  Acts 2:42

 Dave Hsu, Daisy Martinez, Alexis and Barbie Esquijarosa from South Dade, Rafael Linares from West Dade, Richard and Debonaire Rodriguez from North Dade and Carol Reid from Broward all had the privilege of participating in the Member Missionary trip to Salvador-Bahia, Brazil. It was an unforgettable, life-changing experience!
