1Tim. 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 

Labor unions began forming in the United States in the middle of the 19th century. The demands of workers concerning wages and working conditions often brought them into conflict with employers. These conflicts gave rise to the roles of arbitrators and mediators--third parties who helped settle labor-management disputes. 

The role of mediators is not a modern one. Job lamented that there was no one to mediate between him and God. Job 9:33 “Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.” But the absence of a divine mediator was solved with the coming of Jesus Christ, the one Mediator between God and man. 

The presence of a mediator implies a conflict between the two parties. In the case of God and mankind the problem was sin manifested in rebellion and disobedience, we were the “enemies” of God as a result. Rom. 5:10 “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” God reached out and reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, our Mediator. Christ was the bridge between God and man.

If you have not taken advantage of Christ’s mediation, you should today. Be reconciled to God by accepting the agreed upon settlement of salvation by grace through faith. This is the reason Jesus came to earth. Luke 2:10-11 “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”

We thank God for the tremendous services we had with Bro. Peter Muturi from Kenya and Bro. Jamie Fetter. God ministered to many in the services.  Work is still continuing on the Fellowship Hall; we thank all those who are giving of their time.

FROM MEXICO:  Bro. Kincaid writes, God has been blessing the Prince of Peace Churches in Mexico.  Recently, a 12-year-old boy, who had been in a coma for 2 months was raised up after prayer and God’s wonder working power.  He is now walking and talking as normal. A new church in Positos has now been constructed to the point that they are having services. A tarp is covering the building while the roof is still under construction. Bro. Kincaid says it is exciting to see the desire of the church members to start using the building to reach more in their community even as they work to complete the project.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES:  Bro. Taylor reports their workers in the Philippines are gearing up to begin the annual youth camps and VBS outreach programs. Literally hundreds of youths come to the youth camps and are fed the Word of God several times a day. This weeklong event is also filled with many hours of worship and moments of counseling, helping young people find healing through the loving arms of Christ. The result is many make decisions to accept Jesus. The VBS outreach programs hold mobile VBS programs in the towns and villages, bringing the Gospel message to the children. The children long for this time of year and hundreds give their hearts to Christ.
