Faith @ Home - All Around the World!

FCC families, ministry leaders, and friends,

While so much of the news now is focused on our country, it feels good to think about the whole world that God holds in His hands. On Monday night at GEMS we watched a video that showed Operation Christmas Child boxes being distributed by canoes, by camels, by elephants, by donkey carts, and by people. What a joy and privilege to be able to help spread the love and good news of Jesus with kids all around the world! Thanks to all who are participating in providing items and funds for this shoebox ministry. Please join me in praying for the love and good news of Jesus to be faithfully shared both here and abroad.
