Dear Friends and Partners in Our Mission Journey,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Growing in Grace
Faith Fellowship has been blessed with wonderful people. Four new members completed discipleship three men and one young lady. Wednesday night prayer and Bible study restarted in January. Pray for new members and visitors to keep growing in the Word.
VBS – Ready Now!
About 60 people came through during VBS in June. Three children confessed Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Praise God for children hearing the Gospel and responding to His Word! Pray the seeds keep growing.
Reaching Our Community
Saturday outreach relaunched this year taking the Gospel outside the walls. God opened real doors and three people acknowledged Jesus Christ as Savior. Pray for boldness, open hearts, and more souls brought into His Kingdom.
Pray for the Pastor
July: speaking at a conference in Detroit on being a witness for Christ. September: training in Yazoo City, MS on Christian educators. October: hosting a reconciliation conference in Kansas City. Pray for clear preaching and Christ glorified.

- Praise God for answered prayer: We give God special thank Mary received her kidney transplant in March and is
doing wonderfully well! She is scheduled to return to work this month. Thank you to everyone who prayed and stood with our family. Pray for Mary’s continued healing, strength, and growth in the Lord. - Look what the Lord has done! We praise God for: the growth of Faith Fellowship, the return of Wednesday night prayer and Bible study, new members completing discipleship, three children who confessed Christ at VBS, three souls reached through Saturday evangelism, continued growth of Faith Kids, opportunities to preach and teach, ministry at Caver Baptist Bible Institute and City Union Mission, and Mary’s kidney transplant and recovery.
