A relationship with Christ is not a result of a list of things to do or not to do. A "To Do List" is a great thing for the front of a fridge. (Maybe a list of "To Don’t" would be even better on the refrigerator!) One’s relationship with Jesus includes getting to know Him and desiring to follow His will in everything. One focuses on being rather than doing. Living a life of checking off a "To Do List" is not the way to be.

With that noted, lists are helpful. They help to categorize and prioritize. They help remind us of things we want to remember. When you take your list to the Heavenly Father, it is for your benefit (to remember important things) not for His benefits as if it is a grocery list or a "to do" list.

We trust you have VFCM, its staff and its board members on your list. We are grateful for your prayers and financial support that enable us to continue in the way . . .All for the cause of Christ.

Thank you for co-laboring with us.
