The story continues with the baptism of Shalonda Randolph on Sunday, February 24, 2008! Shalonda, a graphic designer, who you heard about briefly in the story of her friend, roommate and now sister Erika Glosson who was baptized only a week earlier, fought throughout her studies against Satan's lies and negative thoughts with scriptures and prayer to come out victorious! Shalonda studied the

Sunday, February 17, Erika Glosson made Jesus Lord of her life! Erika was met by Marge Gross after a hard, tear-filled conversation she and I were having only a foot away from the table that Erika and her friend Shalonda Randolph, who is currently studying the Bible, decided to sit. Erika has been attending our services regularly since the Solemn Assembly which was an amazing time for all the

"Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"Acts 8:36After midweek, this past Wednesday, February 13th, Jimm Kelly was baptized into Christ. Jimm, an x-pro baseball player with the Cubs and now Mortgage Banker, was very excited to start his new life with Christ. Jimm has been studying the Bible for the past couple of months with Greg Watson and Joe Eades and over the last 2 weeks he has

On behalf of the sisters of the GLB Singles Ministry I would like to extend a warm, heartfelt thank you to all the brothers for putting an amazing night of encouragement together!The brothers really went out of their way to make each of us individually feel special and loved. The brothers from my group led by Patrick Lao, teamed-up with Edgar Posada’s group to put together a full evening… Each

There are times that as a disciple life can seem like a moment straight from the pages of God’s word. Moments like these happen when we see someone converted through the power of the gospel, or an answered prayer that remind us of how our creator is intimately connected with every detail of our life. These moments are faith building. They draw us near to the Almighty and closer to the fellowship

I am so sorry for not blogging over the past few weeks - it has just been so busy around here. I have been studying the bible with many people as well as dealing with some difficult business stuff. I did want to let you know that the GLB Singles Ministry hosted an auction to benifit the San Diego wild fire victims. This auction raised over $2000 to help many people that are still displaced from

But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. Jonah 2:9 This past weekend, many of the small groups had their Thanksgiving parties. These parties were a way to thank God for all He has done in our lives as well as an excuse to invite many friends over to hang out with disciples. Our group decided to join up with Elias' group and together we had an incredible time! We ate great food,

Sundays are exciting in the GLB! Today, Joel Landi preached an awesome lesson called "The Power of One" from Ephesians 4. It was incredible!! Equally exciting was seeing Joel use his gifts for God by playing base guitar for a Creed song. Hey, is that Elias singing Creed????It is also very exciting to hear of new people getting baptized on a weekly basis. Today, the teens added a new sister, a

Evangelizing the Greater Long Beach will be a big task! And who should do the work? Many times it is wrongly thought that "leaders" are responsible for the evangelizing our city. God's plan was quite different. In Acts 8:1 it says:On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles where scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.Acts 8:4 goes on to

Today is our anniversary!! Marge and I got married 5 years ago at the Cabrillo Marina in San Pedro. We met while leading the singles in the Peninsula Sector, and at that time, we had no idea how God would use our lives to serve Him. I am even more in love with her today than the day we got married. Marge is an incredible woman of God that I am so thankful for. Thank you, Marge, for all that you

Last Regional Singles Midweek was incredible. The power went out on the whole block of the Chinese Church where we usually meet so everyone drove down to Cerritos Park to worship there. Joel Landi preached the word and showed us all through the Bible that God wants each of us to find out what our God given gifts are and use it. He inspired all of us to use what God has given us to glorify Him.

The other night, my d-group had a discussion about Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the wall. We all discovered that there are many simularities to the story of Nehemiah and what has happened here in our ministry. At the end of the discussion, each person committed to the rebuilding of the GLB Singles wall. Here the notes of what I shared that night:Nehemiah 1:3-4Nehemiah heard of a problem – the
