durning our missions into the different areas of town, that we go into during outreach , the first people tht we encounter , are the children ,early sat mornings, as they watch us arrive ,and began to set up ,,along with anticpation comes , reverence
and you can here them say , here comes those christians, boy you better stop cursing ,cause here come those christians , and as we began to talk to them asking how they are doing in school - they say you better tell the truth ,cause they are christians while they hide from others - -,they run to us, - and not only do they flock to us but all other groups that come out to show them love and attention
in reality we all are still children running toward the one christian , the Christ who we call Jesus the son of the living God''' Children always have such great anticpation and joy when it comes to possiblities , when the word talks about being like little children it means be excited anticipate great results and be on your best behavior while we wait '' while we wait''
thank you Jesus ,for bro \pastor JC FITE

Now the name is a little more tricky. The word “Christian” is used three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). Followers of Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” in Antioch (Acts 11:26) because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ. The word “Christian” literally means, “belonging to the party of Christ” or a “follower of Christ.”
