Greetings From the Mission Field 2-23-2013

From The Field
The Firehouse World Expo is finished and Holly and I are doing a little site seeing. It is always fun to explore new areas of the country with Holly. San Diego is a wonderfull place and God has given us two sunny warm days to hang out together. The fire show went very well and we were able to talk to many people. God is working on me during this time of transition for me. I want to be able to clearly tell people what we do and how we minister to first responders. It is becoming clear to me that we need to be a ministry that helps first responders know God better. I pray that we would be the type of ministry that focuses on the Bible. I want us to give out Bibles and help firefighters to understand God's Word. That means we have to get to work on creating more Bible studies for first responders. Currently we have three. The latest, The Ephesians Project, is starting to get great reviews. I would like to get this resource in the hands of many firefighters. Keith and Wayne are working on a discipleship program. I can't wait to see what God gives them. All of us on the board feel like it will be a good tool to help first responders to know the Bible better. Pray with us that God would raise up more workers for us to create Bible studies and to be willing to disciple young firefighters. We need to be able to reach the younger generation with the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ, equipping them to take our place as we grow older. We have not even scratched the surface of firefighters. I believe that the fields are ready for harvest, we need more Godly folks to help us effectively reach firefighters. As Holly and I were talking about next years show in San Diego, we have a lot of ideas to reach some of those folks. Please pray that FCFInternational would be able to financially support those ideas. Also, pray for us as we get ready for the FDIC show in Indianapolis in April. There will be a lot of work for us to do, as this is our biggest show. Pray that we would begin to build relationships with key folks in the fire service.

Prayer
  • God would be glorified in the fire service
  • A revival would sweep through the fire service
  • Wisdom for Keith and Wayne as they develop our discipleship program
  • God would give us 25 members to participate in the Command Staff Program
  • God would continue to provide for our financial needs
  • Land would be given to FCFInternational in order to house the International Office
  • Holly and I would remain faithful to God
