IDignity seeks to restore dignity and hope to those in our community that are in transition. We do that by uniting branches of government needed to restore necessary identification. Nearly 200 people are serviced during these IDignity events which happen four times a year. It takes about 75 volunteers to help these applicants. You can “Seek the City” of Kissimmee and Osceola county by participating as a volunteer. This is truly a missions trip in your own backyard. To volunteer for the February 3 event please sign up at http://osceola.idignity.org/volunteer/ and be sure to put "Kissimmee Christian Church Volunteer" in the memo section. Look for communication from IDignity once you volunteer.  Questions: contact Cindy Coffman at coffkidd@gmail.com.

¿No Te Pierdas Las Bendiciones De Servir

A veces, en nuestro fervor bíblico para enfatizar que la salvación no es por obras, no somos capaces de apreciar plenamente que hemos sido salvados para hacer buenas obras (Efesios 2:10). De hecho, Dios te ha colocado en tu iglesia con el fin de que tú puedas ser edificado, de modo que puedas trabajar y servirle. Si nos permitimos seguir siendo sedentarios esto significa que estamos descuidando el mismo propósito de Dios para nuestra salvación y de otros. Al servir, sigues y te comportas como Jesús y con eso también lo glorificamos. Si usted está interesado en servir como líder de una célula, coordinador de voluntarios, equipo de bienvenido o en cualquier capacidad, por favor, marque el lado reverso de la tarjeta de asistencia y díganos en que área de servicio le gustaría participar o contáctese con Pastor Tom Martínez al 407.556.5016 o Tom.Martinez@kissimmeechristianchurch.org.
