Life with Christ's Ardent Disciples in Action - CADA

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. - Isaiah 7:14

 

Christ''s Ardent Disciples in Action, or simply CADA, is a Christ-centered charismatic community whose members share a common desire to love and serve the Lord and who are committed to live a way of life that upholds the teachings of Christ.

CADA is a Michigan-based Christian community, composed mostly of young Filipinos-families, married couples, and single men and women. Our love for God and our strong friendships started it all, as our first prayer meeting took place on July 1996. Our activities are geared toward worshiping and honoring God through a life of service to our brothers and sisters in Christ. CADA is about getting to know Jesus in a personal way and sharing a life in Jesus with our family and friends. We strongly believe that being part of a Christian community plays a very important role in living out a rich life in Christ. We encourage you to get involved and be a part of the body of Christ... who knows, that community could be CADA.

CADA is an affiliate community of the Sword of the Spirit which is an ecumenical body composed of more than 65 communities spread throughout 24 countries dedicated to serving Christ in the Christian churches of which its members are a part, and in our society through the support of covenant community life. As such we now share the call to be "a community of disciples in mission" with our brothers and sisters from SOS.

December 25 - Birth of Jesus Christ

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while
Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of
David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the
baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room
available for them.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the
glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great
joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened,
which the Lord has told us about."

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and
pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had
been told. (Luke 2: 1 -20 NIV)
