    Ministering Locally

    One of our roles as staff is to

    try to tell the stories of FCC at

    work. In many areas this is

    simple, but when it comes toour outreach to the needy it is

    difficult. How do you tell our

    people that there is a lot of

    effective ministry going on

    without embarrassing those

    who receive? Yes more FCCers

    would know what is happening

    if we put photos up of people

    taking clothing or eating at a

    community meal, but that would

    make the people we are

    helping feel like objects. So, I

    guess you will either need to

    become personally involved ortake our word for it: more local

    ministry is taking place than has

    ever happened in FCCs 25

    year history. There is strong

    community support and

    informal partnerships with other

    churches who are helping by

    supplying the clothing pantry.

    Join us in thanking God for

    people who care for others,

    partners both in and alongsideFCC.

    Pentecost Offering forWorld Missions

    Sunday May 19th is ourannual Pentecost Offering that

    we dedicate to a particularmissions project(s) for that

    year. This time around thereare two areas where we are

    focusing: (1) We would like toraise funds toward a vehicle

    for our missionaries working inMexico City (Gabo & Emily).

    They are expecting their firstchild and this would enable

    them to reduce some of thetravel time to ministry sites

    (usually it takes them 1-2hours by bus each way).

    (2) Our second area is topartner with One Mission

    Societyin raising funds forpastoral training in the

    Caribbean (a certaincommunist island), and for

    some ministry work in CostaRica. Pastor Randy will be part

    of a group driving vehicles

    from the USA down the Pan-American Highway to CostaRica where they will be sold

    and the profits given to theproject. While in Costa Rica

    he and Tammy (she will joinhim there) will do some work

    at a camp, visit with ourmissionaries, and do early

    logistics for FCCs 2014mission trip to Costa Rica.

    Ask the Lord how He wouldhave you participate in prayer

    and finances. God is usingFCC to be a blessing both

    here at home and abroad.
