Watch FCFI member and farmer Ron Miller and
family share their legacy of faith, family, and farming!
We are ECFA Accredited
Founded 40 years ago by Billy Graham and other evangelical leaders, Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) has grown from a visionary and faithful group of 150 charter members to over 2,600 leading churches and ministries across the United States today.
ECFA enhances trust in Christ-centered churches and ministries through its annual accreditation of organizations based on Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, drawn from Scripture.
ECFA serves as a financial accountability partner to ministries who voluntarily seek accreditation and continue to demonstrate their commitment to ECFA’s high standards faithfully. The standards are set at an appropriately high level to provide the essential guardrails for financial integrity in churches and ministries of all sizes. While admittedly, the standards do not address every potential issue or challenge an organization may encounter, they have stood the test of time in helping thousands of churches and ministries enhance trust and become better stewards of their God-given resources.
Additionally, ECFA promotes financial accountability and best practices through innovative resources, including books and eBooks, webinars, videos, podcasts, blogs, research in best practices, conferences, and more.
The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International welcomes you to explore our ministry website to learn how FCFI members have been involved in disaster relief projects in Kentucky and Louisiana. Dozens of farm shows coming back “live” in 2022 including twenty State FFA Conventions where FCFI members interact with high school FFA members about their spiritual walk with the Lord. Thanks to the relationships built with Romania churches and their Pastors over the past 20 years of Mission trips to western Romania, FCFI was in a position to help with an underground railroad for Ukrainian children safely fleeing the violence in Kiev.
A monthly prayer guide is produced both in print and posted online for members to pray and submit “special prayer requests”. The 2022 growing season is going to be a challenging one due to input costs increasing and availability of insecticides and herbicides continues to be a challenge.
From the beginning of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International in 1985 at the Soybean Expo in San Antonio, Texas, friendship cultivation is still a high priority. Our friend from South Africa, Angus Buchan, told us long ago that, “Farming—you can’t do it alone.” We are striving to build more friendships for farmers in everything we do. Please contact us and submit how you would like to be communicated with, (phone, text, messenger, email etc). Digital communication helps lower printing and postage costs.
Hope to speak or meet with you soon.

- Prayer Guide and Devotional
Years ago a friend of mine and myself went fishing. We took his van and his boat and headed to northern Pennsylvania. He stopped and bought his lunch and had me take over the driving. As we proceeded west on Rt6 the road was a constant ribbon up and down. I could not see a thing because the road crested and disappeared. - Prayer Guide and Devotional
So often we can look at a verse in the Bible and not truly understand what it is telling us. We look at Philippians 2:12 and ask “If Jesus died for me on the cross, why and how do I work out my own salvation?” This verse is not telling us we must save ourselves. God is telling us that now that we are saved by Jesus death and resurrection, we have work that needs done daily. - Kansas State FFA Convention
This year’s Kansas State FFA Convention was held May 31 to June 2, 2023 in Manhattan, Kansas, at the Kansas State University Student Union. Area Leaders Mike Weaver and Jeff Goss worked the show, like most state FFA conventions. I cann them our A Team:) - Prayer Guide and Devotional
Do you remember Popeye? He was strong! But, unlike Popeye, we are strong in God’s Spirit. And without the need to eat spinach! Popeye needed to eat spinach to gain physical strength. A similarity to that is that we can “eat” (read) God’s Word to become spiritually strong. God’s Spirit makes us strong. Strong enough to do what is necessary to perform the tasks He sets before us and ward off the flaming arrows of the enemy. We will have the strength to be loving instead of hateful and to be disciplined instead of lazy. - The Pastor’s Piece – June 4, 2023
It’s June. This is what we’ve been waiting for – long, warm days and pleasant summer nights. In my humble opinion – this is the best month of the year. All the promise of life comes in June. School is out as are the leaves on the trees. The garden is growing. The grass is green and the farmers have already brought in the first of the summer harvest (hay). You can go outside without a jacket. - The Harvest – June 2023
