Faith Promise Update O
Can you count the "Stepping Stones" that our church offers for stepping
out into our community and a wider community beyond us to share
God's love in meaningful ways? Through small groups, youth groups,
Pastors' sermons, guest speakers such as Raymond Garcia, and
church-wide studies we have been made aware of God's challenge to be
willing to share God's love and Salvation - even in unexpected places.
During this past year, your contributions and prayer support through
FAITH PROMISE have made it possible to step out with one-time
support for those who are using their time and gifts for sharing their
faith in a full-time commitment. Support has been given to the Klein
Family in China, teachers in an English School in Afghanistan, Ally
Jaggard in a Christian Leadership Program, and Ben Drake with Youth
With A Mission (YWAM.)
There has also been some extra support given to ongoing Faith Promise
Partner. We helped Family Promise with household items for families
graduating from the program; United Methodist Committee on Relief
(UMCOR) with Haiti disaster funds; Spanish Health Ministries send
clients for a Spiritual Retreat and for Habitat for Humanity to purchase
foreclosed properties.
