    2023 Mission Trip Parent Info Meeting – CHANGES

    Sunday, October 16 we will be meeting to discuss our plans for our summer mission trips. This meeting will include information for both the youth trip AND our international trip. We will meet in the Dining Room immediately after the 11:00 a.m. service.

    A Season of Change

    “Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it?” (Isaiah 43:19 CSB).

    Change is difficult, even in the life of the church. But we were never promised comfort as Christians. God loves to find ways to challenge us, not because He is unjust and cruel, but because He is strengthening us to continue moving forward. We are going to miss Pastor Zach, Jill, and their kids so much here at Fee Fee, but I know that God has great plans for His church ahead of us! While it is good and healthy to process through the emotions that come with this recent news, I urge you to remain firm in Jesus, because He never changes. Fee Fee will be just fine, in fact, her best days are ahead of her. I can’t wait to see how we as a church body will bond together in this time and continue to build our lives on Jesus, AND pursue the good of our community. We love you church! The work is not done yet, so buckle up!

  • College & Outreach – Vol. 62, No. 13

    As we are now in mid-July, I have been with you at Fee Fee for 2 ½ months. First, I want to say what a blessed time this has been thus far! This church I am beginning to call home has been welcoming to me from the first steps I took in the door. We have moved from a rainy spring to the inferno of a Missouri summer. You have heard me preach, a message that I still must remind myself of almost daily; to persevere in prayer and never give up. I joined our Chi Alpha students on a mission trip to Washington, D.C. There, I saw the love our students have for the Lord and the hearts they have for both worship and service. As you read this and Lord willing, I am with our team in the Dominican Republic. Pray for open hearts to the Gospel, ready hands to serve, and endurance for our team to continue the work that began a few years ago. The Lord has certainly been good to this church.

    The Lord has also been good to me through this season! Serving Fee Fee Baptist Church is one of the biggest blessings in my life and a responsibility I do not take lightly. This ministry position has stretched me in ways I needed stretching and comforted me in areas I needed comforting. Candidly, this also has been a difficult season in my personal life and relationships. But God is good, all the time. I am thankful for the staff I serve alongside, who have welcomed me and loved me well in this season. As we gear up for Monumental VBS and look forward to the fall, I humbly ask that you pray for your staff. Pray that we would hear the Lord’s voice clearly and not move without his lead. Pray that God would be honored through our efforts to build our lives on Jesus and pursue the good of our community. Pray that servants would join us in the various ministries in need of helping hands. And trust that God is gracious to provide all that we need and more.

  • College & Outreach – Vol. 62, No. 10

    “Now he told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not give up,” (Luke 18:1).

    I pray that our study of the parable of the persistent widow encouraged you to pray always and not give up. We serve a loving God who desires to hear our prayers, “because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer” (1 Peter 3:12). In their exile, God encourages his people with these tender words: “You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:12-13). Be encouraged church; the God of all Creation wants to hear from you! If it is a brand-new request, or the same prayer you’ve prayed a thousand times, God delights in hearing from his people. Don’t know what to pray? Have no fear, “because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27).

    There are countless ways you can be praying for Fee Fee Baptist Church, her staff, and her people this summer; let me draw your attention to two of them:

    Chi Alpha in Washington D.C.

    30 of your students and leaders will travel to the Washington D.C. metropolitan area for a missions project June 10-18. Pray now for Church at Saint Charles in Waldorf, MD, where your team will be renovating classrooms. Pray for Lifestyles of Maryland, a homelessness and hunger ministry your team will work alongside during our stay. Pray for travel mercies, expectant hearts, and working hands.

    Dominican Republic

    A team of 11 members and staff will travel to the Dominican Republic for church partnership and children’s ministry July 9-15. Pray for health before and during our travels, as we do not want any sickness to sideline the ministry God will do. Pray now for the hearts of the children who will attend VBS during our stay. Pray for the translators who will communicate the love of Jesus in their own language.

    Thank you for joining us in prayer for these missions endeavors this summer. May God bless you and give you strength to pray always and not give up.

    Pray for our Washington, D.C. Team!

    We will be sending a team of 30 students and adult leaders to Washington, D.C. in just a few short days, and we are so excited! While we are there, we will be serving with a local church doing ministry together and supporting them in many ways. We will be doing projects such as painting, minor construction, homeless ministry, prayer walking, and whatever else God will throw our way while we are there! Here are a few ways you can practically pray for our team:

    • Pray for safe travels to and from Washington, D.C.
    • Pray for the city of Waldorf, MD and Washington, D.C., and their people. Pray that we will be able to bless those we meet.
    • Pray for our students and leaders, that this will be a great bonding experience for them to grow closer together as a team, but also that this will be a fruitful week for their relationship with the Lord.

    I am so blessed to lead these students in a church that so faithfully supports them, and many others, in missions. So, thank you church family!

    Serving Opportunity

    Part of being a Christian is serving. In addition to VBS, we have needs in the Children’s Ministry on a regular basis for people to plug in and use their gifts to serve. While we have many wonderful people already serving in this ministry, it takes many hands all areas to run smoothly.  Please see me if you believe God can use you to serve in our Children’s Ministry. Talk to Andrew if you would like to serve in other areas of the church. Choose this year to actively serve your church!

    Colossians 3:23-24 says: “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.”
