In God I Trust

When all is said and done, there really isn't a whole lot we can trust. But, in our world of change, in our heartbreak and disappointment, there is one constant. We can trust God. We don't have to fear change. He is our anchor that holds in the strongest storms. He is our strength in our worst battles. His word and His promises speak of good things for us. We don't have to be afraid; we can trust in Him! "In God whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?" Psalm 56:4

These are the words that enable us to continue on in the service to our God, even when we can't see the top of the stairs. God has shown us the staircase and He assures us that the landing above is a place He has prepared for us.

We are so blessed to serve our brethren and the community here in the Paso Robles area. Our opportunities are only limited by our vision and sometimes by our stamina. The church continues to grow. We have had several new families who have been visiting with us on a constant basis and we have been able to set up Bible Studies with them.

Our focus has always been to help people in "Building Their Relationship with God" . We utilize an eight lesson study and then after their obedience to the Gospel we ask them to attend our "Introduction to Church Membership" seminar. After an individual decides that he desires that the Vineyard Church of Christ be his/her church home we immediately involve them in "Second Teach" a year long study involving several members of the congregation as leaders. The church although small in numbers is mighty in spirit and God is touching the lives of the community we serve.

It is difficult to put into words what your love, prayers and support mean to us and the kingdom of God here in this area. Broken lives have been healed, broken marriages mended and the fallen down lifted us. This is your ministry...we are your servants. Your prayers are coveted and your visits welcome. There is always room at the Casa Orduño for our brethren. May we have been a blessing to you as we serve. Thank you for helping us to see the stairs.

In HIS Service,
Steve & Cheryl
