MISSION: POSSIBLE “With God, all things are possible” Mark 10:27

15 years of exciting the kids and parents

for Jesus! by Jessica Macaraeg
Summer ended with a bang! On June 4 and 5, the
Sunday School team launched a project of what seemed
to be a dream years ago a reality today. Instead of
engaging ourselves with a more popular Daily Vacation
Bible School, we wanted something that could be done
overnight. That thought became an exciting yet an
ambitious project for us. For 2 months, we should have
barely made that dream happen. All we had at the start
was just a vision and a team of ministers having that
vision, without any lesson, resources and manpower.
FCCF celebrates their 15th anniversary last April 2010
However during one of the first meetings, God has
confirmed that vision. He allowed us to have resources
that we can borrow and ideas that we can retrieve from
IN THIS ISSUE the internet. Thus, it gave birth to the camp’s theme:
“Mission: Possible”—a JForce special agents training.
