Spirit-Led Equipping

“ 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the
work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,” – Ephesians 4:11

Dear Family,
You are loved, and prayed for!

Recently you heard me talk about how the Spirit of God was leading us to intentionally invite regional pastors and leaders to come equip us throughout the year. These Equip Sundays focus on the overflowing grace of what these pastors carry to help prepare us for regional ministry. Your life can change through the power of Spirit-led equipping for ministry.

We just had our first Equip Sunday this past Sunday morning February 16th with Pastor Ryan Harris from Hope Unlimited Church in Danville, IL. Hunger, expectation, and a fresh oil of power filled this place. If you haven’t already, you can listen to this teaching HERE

Faith Center has accepted the call of God to be a family, regional, and international church. This is an incredible season of crossing over to all that God has promised to do in and through our church family.

Life groups are going strong, and we encourage you to find a group for you. We are at work raising up more life group leaders. We all need to be in Godly relationships that empower us to fulfill our God-given purpose of spiritual maturity and missional living. We are the family of God building the kingdom of God.

The Lord is at work in FCYTH and faith kids ministries. If you are new with us, we believe it would be most beneficial to your teens and kids to bring them to these services.

Pastor Jeff and I are traveling to Mexico to conduct a regional seminar to equip pastors and leaders, and an apostolic summit for the Global Faith Living Network. Thank you for praying for our international assignment. The overflow of great grace in our house impacts the nations, and returns in harvest back home to our family of faith.
