This month for CRMC has been a very busy process. The staff and
leadership team has been working endlessly since they arrived on
campus August 01, 2008, to prepare for the new year. Our number
has increased by 7, giving us a total of 38 CRMC students.
Just recently, the staff and leadership took four full days to not
only plan, but to unify our staff in spirit and mind. Our trip consisted
of hours of planning schedules, realizing the dark sides of
leadership, as well leadership personalities. It was a very fun and
profitable time.
August 09, 2008, twelve, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years returned back
on campus to prepare for the new year as well. It was a great
reunion after being away from each other for the summer. At the
same time, it was a sad moment having to say goodbye to our long-
distance family, Frontline Worship Team. We had the honor of
taking care of them for a week and a half during their tour.
At this very moment, all 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students are
practicing non-stop for our induction service Sunday, August 17th,
2008 at 6:30pm. EVERYONE is invited. We can’t even begin to
express how excited we are for August 16th, when twelve bright-
eyed, bushy tailed students step on campus for the first day—the
first step to a life-changing experience. Thank you again, Pastor
Roberts and the Christ Chapel family for all your support and
encouragement! Prepared by: CRMC Staff and Leadership

Dear Friends: Greetings in the Wonderful and Precious Name of Jesus! On August 10 we Dedicated our newest facility addition and hosted an Open House for our FCC and Christ Chapel Academy programs. This was such a special day! Attendees from each Sunday service participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by a tour of the new wing. Many stayed for the open house and we were blessed to have many new students enroll for both the College and Academy. We want to thank, again, all of you who have made this possible through your pledges to our RTU Building Campaign. Praying for you and yours this and every day…. His and yours, Pastor Bill and Lynna |
FUSION Student Ministries goes to Guatemala!
Our students gave up eight days of their summer vacation to be
missionaries in the jungles of Guatemala. We brought with us over
100 soccer jerseys to give away, along with clothing for adults. We
ministered to several villages, played with children, performed
dramas, gave testimonies, and preached the Good News. We saw
many people accept Christ, and even saw God’s healing power
proclaimed in people’s lives! At the end of the week, the team voted
for two MVPs for the trip. Congratulations to Jefferson Watson and
Alice Jackson for being the MVPs of the trip!!
FUSION ARTS Ministry Team Goes to Nationals!
Sixteen students and leaders traveled to Charlotte, NC to participate
in the National Fine Arts Festival. The students advanced to the
national level in Large Human Video, Small Human Video,
Traditional Photography, Visual Art, and Poetry. There we had an
amazing week of performing, watching performances, and
worshipping God along with 13,000 other students from across the
nation. The Lord used our time there to call two people into the
ministry, and fill nine students with His Holy Spirit! We are looking
forward to see what the Lord will continue to do in the lives of our
young people!
| Christian Education School is almost back in session, and in preparation for our upcoming Cross Training Kick Off, our Christian Education Department is hitting the ground running this year! Our teachers are embarking on new curriculums, new teaching strategies, and most of all new ways of involving our community in our constant pursuit of God’s Word. Just this month our T.N.T. class (Twenties and Thirties), taught by Pastor Art Slye, has begun a study based upon the book, “In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day” – answering the question of how to survive and thrive when opportunities roar back. This as well as our dual teaching on the book “Bait of Satan”, in our Women’s and Men’s Study, which focuses on the subject of dealing with offenses, has allowed our students the chance to uncover the answers their heart seeks after. Our annual Cross Training Kick Off is scheduled for September 7th. Our teachers are our vital component to the team, and we could not do this without them. |

| This year will be an exciting time of growth for not only our church, but our community as we take the time to reach our visitors each week. The key element of Living the Life is “Including all Who Come,” and we make that possible by following up with our visitors each week, through sending out gift cards of appreciation. This allows us to ensure that they have the opportunity to become involved in the process of Cross Training, and most of all, know that we notice them. Get ready to Live the Life as we learn God’s Word, our community, and His purpose for our lives. Sunday School begins at 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. every Sunday. Please contact Carmen Ellis at celliscrmc@hotmail.com or call at 703.670.8481 ext. 163 if you would like to become more involved! Prepared by Carmen Ellis |
| Just as promised, here are some of the praise reports from our first mission’s trip for the Hispanic Ministry at Christ Chapel. We had the opportunity to spend 8 days in Honduras, and from the first moment we arrived we felt the warm welcome from their people. We were able to minister in a 4 day crusade. Our youth had prepared different human videos, the entire team shared their testimonies, and we also held different Kids services where we gave the children different donations we brought for them. We ministered in a total of 10 different services during the whole week; and there were praise reports of people being healed, souls saved and people that decided to change their lives and get out of prostitution and different addictions. Also there has been the report of a revival that is taking place in the town of Morazan were we preached, and after we came back home, the Local Pastor Osmani Martinez, shared how the Spirit is moving during the different services and people are spending hours in the presence of the Lord, when the Spirit moves in that place. We thank God for what He is doing and for giving us the privilege to be witnesses of His Glory and Power. All the Glory, all the Praise and the Honor be to Him… |
