| Iglesia Bautista Central de Riverdale celebrated their first anniversary last Sunday with a celebration service and concert by Rabito. Alci Rengifo is pastor of Iglesia Bautista. Pastor Ernie Sanchez of Annadale Baptist Church Sanger is celebrating 12 years of ministry at Annadale plus 52 years of marriage this month. Congratulations! Ashley Duke, daughter of Pastor Mike & Sandy Duke, FBC Firebaugh, was able to come home from the hospital last Sunday. She was to have more tests this week to determine diagnosis and possible treatment. Thank you for your continued prayers. There was a joyous celebration Saturday, April 19, at the opening of the new Slavic Baptist Church of Open Doors in Fresno as they begin their ministry in a new location, Sierra Heights Baptist Church. The first church service was held in September 2007 at CBF office but the congregation quickly outgrew the space. Salvic Baptist Church was started with the joint efforts of CSBC and Pacific Slavic Baptist Assoc. Ivan Mileyev is pastor of Salvic Baptist Church of Open Doors. Is your church hosting a fireworks stand? Is so, please give us your church name, stand location, dates, and what group will benefit from the proceeds. We will be glad to "get the word out" for you.

World Changers, the short-term-mission arm of the North American Mission Board is returning to Clovis June 22-27. Nearly 300 high school aged boys and girls from five western states will present Christ to twenty-seven homeowners by rolling up their sleeves and providing cost-free labor for some major home repairs. We need local churches to come alongside this ministry by providing on-site lunches to one or more work crews for that week. If you can help, please contact or Bill Jones at kd7s@verizon.net
