The Fellowship has been invited to help complete a new church construction in Sav-a-la-mar. The Darliston Church Project is completed. Ron Niedermeyer, Talmage,NE, represented the Fellowship at the Darliston Church Dedication service. A new church construction project underway was needing several crews to complete the sanctuary walls, roof, and interior. Both churches were spared serious damage from Hurricane Dean. Your talents are needed in Jamaica next February.
“Raising the Roof To Raise The Hope” is an ongoing rural church construction campaign to build brick churches in strategic communities throughout the Novgorod Oblast. The Fellowship has been involved in Novgorod, Russia since 1992. Pastor Anatoli Korabel invites all farmers to come to Russia to speak in church meetings, be involved in the community, and help with construction projects in Star Russa and Chechulina. The Chechulina Church is enclosed and needs electrical wiring, plumbing, and a furnace installed. The opportunity to assist the Russian Church still exists. Political reforms set into motion in 1992 are slowly being taken away as Russia’s government reclaims power. Continue to pray for the pastors of Russian Churches.
Kendal Pliner and Dave Carter will lead construction teams to a new home church construction project in Gomez Palacio. Pastor Antonio Gomez has the property procured and the funding raised for water and sewer at the new church site. The Amigos de Samuel school for Special Needs children is at capacity in the multi-purpose building FCFI members built the past five winters. The new construction will allow the school to expand into the existing Home Church.
John and Cozette Caster, FCFI members from Dayton, Oregon, are coordinating an Israel Study tour that will include visits to agricultural sites including “Making the Desert Bloom” area. We have an opportunity to visit the Holy Land with Dewey Bertolini. Dr. Bertolini has made the study of Israel geography and its relation to scripture a major portion of his life’s work. He is a nationally recognized author and speaker. Contact the FCFI Home Office for a color brochure and trip application. This tour includes two extra days to vist some Bible sites not usually included in a Holy Land tour.
FCFI Area Leader, Gary Beery, Radnor, Ohio is leading a new project called “Kerameas” on a farm north of Thessalinicki, Greece. Thomas Pappas, son of an eastern Ohio farmer, moved to Greece to build a ministry to help men get discipled and their lives back into order. The Fellowship has been invited to help clear trees on the farm and help build a greenhouse. The team will build for a week an then travel to Athens to visit historic sites including the Acropolis.
