Hey everybody!
Another exciting week here at FBC CaliMo! Never a dull moment I tell ya! Last Sunday was the first Sunday of the month so the weekly newsletter the Harvest came out. I would encourage you to follow the link and check it out.http://www.fbccalifornia.com/userFiles/1423/1009.pdf
If you haven't heard yet, we have hired a new youth minister. His name is Kyle Ward and his wife's name is Stephanie! He will start here the first of October and as soon as they sell their house in Lee Summit the rest of the family will head to CaliMO. They seem very nice and are very excited about their adventure to come at FBC. I would encourage you to add them as a friend on facebook and get to know them more!
This week we have a lot of excitement happening with our West Africa missions. First I will be heading to a conference outside of St. Louis that is all about planting churches and being successful in a West Africa Partnership. I am hoping to come back with lots of good info and a game plan on what our next steps should be with our upcoming trips. Then on Sunday Ruth Cox from Sheltering Wings will be joining us at FBC. She will speak at 5pm and talk about her journey to and in West Africa as well as what she sees God doing in Kimini and how she can help. It will be an exciting week for our West Africa Missions!
In other news.... we have been having really great programs on Wednesday nights. There is Team Kids/Children's Choir, Youth Ministry, Adult Ministry, Hispanic Ministry, Prayer Meeting, and Choir all happening on Wednesday Nights! It has been going very smoothly and there is literally something for the whole family. We are also starting a new bible study program for Guys and Gals on Sunday evenings at 6pm. For the ladies it will be Bad Girls of the Bible and for Guys it will be winning at work and home.
You can really see that God is moving so much. He is working heavy in our Hispanic ministry and really equipping Daniel our Hispanic pastor in that role. Our mission ministry continues to thrive as we plan a trip for our Puerto Rico friends to come here in April and participate in 30 hour famine, and plan to take the youth there in June for a summer camp. We will start having planning meetings soon for our West Africa Trips. And look forward to possibly making a trip to Mexico to do some work. Even locally we work in missions and are working at getting our contemporary service started, hopefully by Easter! It is just constantly amazing me!
Coming up next week is The Ham and Turkey Festival in town, a Free concert in Jeff City (10th Avenue North!, and our monthly business meeting!)
While there are so many things happening the goal is always to equip the saved and reach the lost.. and do it all to Bring God Glory!!!
I hope you will enjoy these "catch ups" and I will post some devotional thoughts soon!
Stay Safe and Let your Jesus Light Shine!!!
Love Always - Dawn Prather
