I know many of you like being in the middle of God’s work and one of FCFI’s main
missions is to give ordinary farmers, like me and you, the opportunity to jump in
and use our abilities to further God’s Kingdom. Let me share a story: As a young
farm kid in the late 1960’s I developed an interest in the country called Romania.
It was a communist run country at that time but God gave me a keen interest in
learning all I could about it.

Sowing, Serving, Reaping for Christ around the world embodies the mission of The Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI). The three pronged ministry of FCFI, evangelism, disaster relief, and short term mission trips, enables us to show the love of Christ through a wide range of settings. All this is made possible through God’s grace and mercy and the volunteers that serve as the hands and feet of Jesus. FCFI is truly blessed to have a strong core of volunteers that give sacrificially of their time, talents, and finances to support the mission of FCFI. The FCFI Board of Directors offers our heartfelt thanks to our staff and all the volunteers that convey the message of Acts 16:31 “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved-you and your household.”

Next week I will write about the Conference in Shipshewana.

“Life and Death”

We’ve been doing a study on Sunday mornings about how to overcome evil with good.  “When the days get darker,” God says, “here is what you must do: Overcome evil with good!”  How do we overcome evil with good?  Well, I’ll give you some examples – but I warn you, they’re not easy.

As I write this, our world as we know it seems to be changed for the near
future. The news stories are all about COVID-19. If it isn’t the latest number
of infections, it’s news of stores running out of sanitizing and health items.
There have been all kinds of information with varying degrees of accuracy
in the media and seemingly much panic across the country.

As we were going to press with this issue of Pro t magazine, wild res were breaking out in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. Farmers began calling the FCFI Home O ce asking what is the Fellowship going to do to respond to these disasters? Jerry Rice, FCFI Disaster Relief Coordinator, ranches in Boise City, Oklahoma. Jerry determined that Clark and Comanche counties in south central Oklahoma had a 500,000 acre wild re where 3⁄4’s
of the cows with calves were killed.
