Mohawk Valley Chapter Holds 32nd Annual Outreach Dinner

The Fellowship of Christian Farmers International Mohawk Valley Chapter last fall hosted its 32nd Annual Outreach Dinner, welcoming approximately 100 guests for a special evening of fellowship, reflection, and renewed vision for ministry.

The event was held at Bethel Baptist Church in Prospect. The church generously opened its fellowship hall and kitchen, providing a warm and welcoming setting for the gathering. We are deeply thankful for their hospitality and partnership, which helped make the evening both comfortable and memorable for all who attended.

Chapter President Cliff Kitchen served as Master of Ceremonies, guiding the program with warmth and enthusiasm. Under his leadership, the evening flowed smoothly as guests enjoyed a time of food, fellowship, and encouragement. The dinner not only celebrated the chapter’s history but also highlighted the ongoing outreach efforts taking place throughout the region.

Mark Nimey also took a few moments to personally thank the many volunteers who serve throughout the year. He emphasized that the strength and success of the Mohawk Valley Chapter are built upon the dedication of individuals willing to give their time at fairs, festivals, dinners, and outreach events. Without their faithful service, the ministry would not be able to reach as many people with the message of Christ.

The evening concluded with Mark closing in prayer, committing the chapter’s future efforts to the Lord and asking for continued guidance, unity, and open doors for outreach.
