Fellowship of Christian Firefighters International: Report from the Field 2-16-2016

From the Field
Our week concluded with a Firefighters Married Couples Conference which was held in Clarksville, Virginia. The number of couples was small but the fellowship and encouragement was huge. Holly and I enjoyed preparing for the weekend event and delighted in the look on all of the couples faces as they participated in the annual event. What a blessing to be able to hold an event like this at such an affordable price. We all agreed to hold the event next year and plans are already underway to improve on our success. We learned how to treat our spouses like a CHIEF. Looking at what the Bible has to say about firefighter marriages we discussed ways to improve our marriages, no matter how many years we have been married.

The backbone of our ministry continues to be the Bible. As we strive hard to put more Bible studies together for firefighters we continue to discover that our resources are not utilized in proportion to the mission field of 1.2 million firefighters in America alone. We need to figure out how to put these resources in the hands of firefighters who need them. If you have any ideas please give me a call at 443-336-9859 or email me at firequacker621@aol.com.

The process of getting folks to submit articles for the Interactive Encourager page on the website is slow. Thank God we have had a couple of submissions. We still need folks to leave comments on what they are reading and Lord willing begin to study their Bibles more as they discuss each topic. My prayer is that God would use our website to put Biblical resources in the hands of firefighters.

The rest of this week will consist of office work. We will be getting ready for the FDIC show in April and the mens Ignite conference in March. We will be having a table at this years conference and hope to connect with many firefighters.

Holly and I are beginning to look for sponsors to help with the ministry. We are beginning by sending letters to churches, businesses and members who would be willing to help. We are praying for 100 sponsors who are willing to send $100.00 a month to further the Kingdom in the fire service.
