I thank God for all He is doing with FCFInternational. What a blessing to be working alongside some good firefighters from around the nation. Keith Helms and Wayne Detzler have been working on developing a discipleship ministry. We have been praying diligently about this ministry and how God will use it in the fire service. Our desire is to have a ministry where first responders will disciple other first responders who will in turn disciple more first responders. By God's grace we will be faithful to being obedient to Matthew 28 and God will change the hearts and minds of first responders. We want to reproduce our faith in other firefighters and start a revival in the fire service. Pray with us as we seek to glorify God with this ministry.
I am pleased with the progress of the online Bible studies. God is using these Bible studies to help firefighters have a deeper understanding of Him and His Word. The mission of FCFInternational is to encourage one another to share the vision with the fire service community through Witnessing, Praying, Teaching the Word, and Walking worthy. My prayer is the online Bible studies will help first responders to walk worthy and that eventually I can find other members who will be able to teach these classes and fulfill the teaching the Word part of the mission statement. We have a lot of members that are sound with their knowledge of doctrine. There are others who still are on milk and need to be encouraged to grow in their faith. My prayer is that FCFInternational will be known for how much our members love to study and memorize God's Word. Pray with us as we work toward that goal.
The other day I put a map of the United States on my desk top. Every time I work on my computer I pray for another State. I pray that God would open doors in fire stations for us to minister to first responders and that local chapters would be started. There are 1.4 million firefighters and I pray that God would reach everyone with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What a privilege for our members to be able to share in that vision.
Family
The family is doing well. I think Holly is getting a little nervous because I keep talking about moving. One of my dreams is to have an International Headquarters that is on a good piece of land. I look forward to the day when FCFInternational will have a retreat center that first responders can go to in order to get closer to God. Please join me in prayer as I am confident God can give us the perfect piece of property. Pray for Holly and the boys to also catch the vision.
