Truly our Lord, God and King is forever  faithful!   This year we begin our 25th year of ministry in  Sacramento, California.  In 1981, my wife Dianne, and our small family  returned from Brazil, after having served with &lt;a href="http://www.onechallenge.org/Brix?pageID=9206"&gt;OC International&lt;/a&gt; for  eight years.  Since then God has used us to minister at the &lt;a href="http://capitolprayerwatch.blogspot.com"&gt;California  Capitol&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.calguard.ca.gov/"&gt;California National Guard&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ndptf.org/home/index.cfm?flash=1"&gt;National Day of Prayer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.gdopusa.com"&gt;Global Day of  Prayer&lt;/a&gt;, our local church (&lt;a href="http://www.arcadechurchonline.com"&gt;Arcade Church&lt;/a&gt;, Sacramento, CA)  and to  collaborate with hundreds of ministries, events, and outreaches over the past 25  years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How faithful God has been and what an extraordinary honor  to worship and serve Him.  It has been the goal of our life to unite people  in Christ and assist them to seek God and work together for His purposes, honor  and glory in &lt;a href="http://cityreaching.blogspot.com/"&gt;our city, state and nation&lt;/a&gt;.   The methods and ministries  have changed, but the goal of ultimately seeing the Body of Christ strengthen,  encouraged, equipped to do the work of the ministry has always been our  goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sacramentopastorsroundtable.blogspot.com"&gt;Serving pastors, local congregations&lt;/a&gt; and the move of God in &lt;a href="http://sacramentooutlook.com"&gt;our  city&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://californiachristians.net"&gt;state&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://ccnewsportal.com"&gt;country&lt;/a&gt; is paramount to us!  And the opportunity to serve  in this way continues to grow.  Our homesite at &lt;a href="http://capitolfellowship.blogspot.com"&gt;Capitol Fellowship&lt;/a&gt; explains  in more detail with we've been doing and how.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who work with &lt;a href="http://capitolfellowship.blogspot.com"&gt;CFFGroup&lt;/a&gt;  and others who collaborate with us hope you will continue to pray and invest in  this ministry.  We believe God's faithful Hand has demonstrated the  fruitfulness of your prayers and investment.  And we ask that your prayers,  participation and investment will continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have asked me:   "Joe, when are you going to retire?   I tell them never!  I have  only one life to live.  And I will continue to worship and serve Him until  He takes me home.  Now, I know that means I will not be able to do things  in ten years that I did ten or twenty years ago.  But what it does say to  me is that God does have a plan of service in His Kingdom until our personal  end.  At which time, He will promote us into His presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we  serve.  We teach.  We train.  We mentor others in vision of a  biblical life and ministry.  And &lt;a href="http://capitolfellowship.blogspot.com/"&gt;we welcome those into the CFFGroup  ministry&lt;/a&gt; who want to be a part of something that is making a difference by  connecting, networking and linking the Body of Christ together in new ways that  local congregations and pastors have not thought of before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For  example:  raising up intercessors for your pastoral team,   intercessors for the Elder Board, communication network systems between churches  and cities.  We want and need God's wisdom, knowledge and faith to hear and  do with He wants for His family to know and do at this time of ministry in our  cities and beyond.  Intercession, prayer networks and seeking God's Face,  glory and presence in our personal lives, congregations and cities is what &lt;a href="http://arcadefreshencounter.blogspot.com/"&gt;God  is calling forth today.  He does it through a variety of means, methods and  events&lt;/a&gt; to make His KINGdom known and the saving Gospel of His Son to those who  need to hear it.  And how do we do that??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Please continue to pray  for and visit&lt;/span&gt; below the CFFGroup and the family of network homesite communications that has been  growing over the past 5-6 years.  Some of the evidence is below at these  ministry communication sites.  I ask you to pray for each one.  I ask  you to pray for each person is who working or will soon be working on  them.  Ask the Lord to keep us set apart for Himself to serve His Kingdom  and His people wherever they are at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much for being a  part of the CFFGroup - and growing - ministry.  We praise God for each one  of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worshiping and Serving Him (...with you!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe  Walsh&lt;br /&gt;Founder, President&lt;br /&gt;Capitol Fellowship Foundation, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;PO Box  418116&lt;br /&gt;Sacramento, CA  95841&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://capitolfellowship.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://capitolfellowship.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sacramentooutlook.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://sacramentooutlook.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ccnewsportalblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://ccnewsportalblog.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ccnewsblogcommentary.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://ccnewsblogcommentary.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sacramentopastorsroundtable.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://sacramentopastorsroundtable.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://capitolprayerwatch.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://capitolprayerwatch.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://californiachristians.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://californiachristians.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;br /&gt;and  many more . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29958867-115075881255794594?l=twenty-five-years.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twenty-five-years.blogspot.com/feeds/115075881255794594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29958867&amp;postID=115075881255794594&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29958867/posts/default/115075881255794594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29958867/posts/default/115075881255794594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twenty-five-years.blogspot.com/2006/06/celebrates-25-years-of-ministry-in.html' title='Celebrates 25 years of Ministry in Sacramento !'/><author><name>CFFi,  Sacramento, CA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f9tDWCQNwNU/S-oVoQZKkFI/AAAAAAAAAp0/1FP532ers6k/S220/Connecting+People.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
