The purpose of
AS FOR ME This book was inspired by our personal experience of being a business owner with the motto: Christ First, Family & Friends Second, and Business Third.
The business people represented in the directory would rather choose a good name than all the riches of the world. They have verbalized their beliefs in Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God, and confess that He is Lord over their lives, home, and business. They are not exploiting their faith. Each has a desire to represent Christ in service to others. The vision of AS FOR ME Christian Directory is for Christians to support their brothers and sisters, when possible. As Christians support one another, a portion goes back to the Lord’s work. To make this possible we feel that there is a need for these businesses to be known. CF Marketing owners and staff believes the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative True Word of God. We believe in one God, eternally existents in three persons, Father-Son-Holy Spirit. We believe in the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, His sinless life, His death and resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and His personal return to take us home some day. Our salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not from works. We believe a Christian business
Business Directory CHRISTIAN DIRECTORY
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:17
can be a light to shine before men, that they may see good works and glorify our Father in heaven (Matthew 5:14-16). The AS FOR ME Christian directory consists of Christian Businesses and People, Missionary activities, and praises of Jesus Christ. All may be from various denominations, though some may differ on doctrine, we all agree that our personal faith in Jesus Christ and His Word is the basis of our fellowship. All advertisers in the Directory are businesses or people that have been recommended because of a Christian atmosphere in the business or their Christ-like behavior. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them (Matthew 7:20). Each directory will also have a special section called BROTHERS KEEPER. This is a place to notify if an advertiser’s business has shown unacceptable work or behavior. The business will be notified and requested to make proper changes. If this is not successful they will no longer be invited to advertise in the directory. AS FOR ME, MY LIFE, MY BUSINESS, We WILL SERVE THE LORD Doris Richards Sparks, Jamie Leigh Payne Owners of CF Marketing

A Summer of Service By: Kelsey Pile
God had to have something good up His sleeves when He asked me to give my summer to Him. This was an idea I would have never come up with on my own. I had pictured days of sleeping in and evenings with my friends hanging out at the pool. Little did I know it would consist of early morning meetings at churches and late nights finishing up Vacation Bible School? God had something in store for me that I would never imagine for myself. My journey began on June 1st when I left home to spend nine weeks serving on the community outreach team with Vision San Diego. Vision San Diego is a strategic focus city of the North American Mission Board working to start new churches, better equip existing churches, and overall let the people of San Diego know how much they are loved by their Creator. I left the airport knowing that when I landed, the closest I would be from someone I knew was 2,000 miles. I’m sure this wasn’t comforting to the parents of this 17 year old girl. Sure enough, I felt pretty alone that first night. It was a totally new environment that I was going to be living in the next two months. The journey started with 12 girls sleeping on air mattresses, sharing only two showers. That night, I made a pact with God, not to complain and asked Him to give me a love for this place so I wouldn’t want to leave. Until San Diego, I had never ventured this far outside of the Bible belt. But during orientation our group of 20 student missionaries were told that half the people of San Diego claim no religious affiliation at all, and a mere 6% of the 3 million people living in San Diego county were Evangelicals. This was astounding to me because at home there is a church on nearly every corner but in San Diego a Church was a rare find. After speaking with only a few people in San Diego about their views on life, my eyes were open to a much different world. The spiritual outlooks seemed to be of several different religions, worldly perspectives and the combinations of 22
both. I couldn’t help but think to myself, how can they find hope in any of this? With this thought, I became more thankful God had sent me here to work with the children. The community outreach team I was apart of consisted of a supervisor and two other high school girls. There were five Vacation Bible Schools planned, two sports day camps, and assisting with two incoming mission teams and their events. Every week was spent meeting new people, teaching children Bible studies, playing games, and my nights were spent with 12 of the most encouraging, Christlike girls I ever meet. We spent time sharing what our teams were doing, and how God has been working in our lives. Before I knew it, eight amazing weeks had passed and with just one week left to go. At that time the thoughts of seeing my family and friends that I had been severely missing, began to make me very anxious. Again, it was when I was least expecting something amazing to happen. God laid a very special girl on my heart. During the last week our team had been working at two Vacation Bible Schools, one in the morning and the other at night. Anyone who has worked at a VBS can tell you how exhausting it can be. But it’s not being physically tired that concerns you, it’s the children. There is something special about each and every one we came to know. This last week at the evening VBS, I came to know a girl that will forever stay in my heart. Her name was Savanna and even at the beginning of day one we were already attached at the hip. Savanna’s favorite part of the evening was when we took her and the rest of the preschool class outside to play. She always picked the swings. After I had helped to get the remaining kids out the door to play, I could hear a high pitched voice pleading for someone to push her on the swings. I looked up and it was Savanna staring
at me. I spent the next half hour pushing that five year old back and forth being asked countless times to go “as high as the sky”. When the time came to head back inside, she was no longer pleased with me; she loved that swing. She soon forgot about leaving the swing when music time began. It was her idea to only do the motions if I was standing behind her so I could be holding her arms to guide them with the song. We had the same routine of swinging and singing each day. On the fourth of the five days, I found out something about this sweet girl. The pastor of the church had been picking her up along with a few others at a homeless center nearby the church campus. I had been obliviously to what Savanna was going through. When I started thinking about it the questions came to mind, should this make a difference? Do we love others regardless of their circumstances? If we are honest, I think we would generally say no. As a society we care more about what people look like on the outside and their social status as opposed to what needs they may have. When August 1st rolled around, I was sure God had answered my prayer. At this place where I had spent my summer, meeting many remarkable people and serving my Lord, I was not ready to leave. I’ve came home from this summer forever changed. I have come to the realization, as followers of Christ; everywhere we go is a mission field. It is not just a place miles away from home. A mission field is also where we live each day. Our hometowns need to know the love of Christ. We all should be obedient, serve where we are; God has called and equipped each of us to help the lost get found!
