A World of Difference

In 2018, over 3.5 billion people gathered to watch the most viewed sporting event in the world: the World Cup. This year, it is expected that even more people will watch the World Cup currently unfolding in Qatar. With 32 countries competing for a single trophy, it is a beautiful picture of how many different cultures, languages, and traditions exist. Despite all these differences, they are all united under the common thread of soccer.

This spring, FCC has an incredible opportunity to engage in cross-cultural work through a mission trip with Filter of Hope. There may be many differences between West Michiganders and Central Americans, but we have a common thread that connects us as well. The differences in language and culture are overshadowed by the fact that we have the same Creator, the same need for a Savior, and the same claim to God’s gift of grace. Not only that, but we are able to work towards a common goal of having access to clean water. This work will change the lives of people who live half a world away but are much more like us than we may realize.

As you pray about how you can be involved in our work with Filter of Hope, know that you will make a world of difference in the lives of those who are not that different from you or me. To learn more about this trip, go to www.ferrysburgchurch.com/trip.
