    New Ministry: Room at the Inn

    Fee Fee has a new partnership in 2020 with Room at the Inn Homeless Shelter! This is an incredible organization that has been serving women and families in need in St. Louis County since 1988. You can read more about them on their website: roomstl.org. Our partnership with Room at the Inn will include housing some of their guests for a night, every other month, starting in February. We will pick them up on that Friday night, bring them to our church, give them dinner, host some fun games and entertainment, and provide them a warm, clean bed to sleep in for the night. In the morning we will bless them with breakfast and take them back to the Room at the Inn facility. This is going to be an incredible chance for us to “pursue the good of our community,” (our new mission statement). Please be praying for Room at the Inn Shelter, this new ministry partnership, and that the Gospel would be seen through our loving interaction with our guests!

    Tom and Lela Warner Short Term Missions Offering

    On Sunday, February 23, we will have a special offering for our Tom and Lela Warner Short Term Missions Fund. In both worship services that morning we will take a special collection for this fund which supports our members going on mission trips each year. Over the years these funds have been used to send our people all over the country and world to share the Gospel message. This year the fund will be helping our members share God’s love in North Carolina, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Missouri.  If you feel led to give towards this fund, simply write on your offering envelope or on the memo line of your check, “Short Term Missions.” Thank you for your continued support of missions both locally and internationally!

    Have you set resolutions for 2020? In the midst of making resolutions to lose weight or cancel debt or travel the world, can I encourage you to make a different kind of resolution: Get more involved in missions! There are thousands in our neighborhood, and billions around the world, that have not experienced the salvation of the Gospel message of Jesus. What can you do in 2020 to help them hear?  You could give money to several different places – the Annie Armstrong offering, the Lottie Moon offering, the Tom and Lela Warner fund at Fee Fee, or many other organizations that declare the Gospel near and far. You could go on a mission trip to Windermere with Fee Fee, to Mexico with Wheels for the World, or on your own. You can also find a local ministry here at Fee Fee or in our community that “pursues the good of our community for the glory of God,” like Meals on Wheels or Loaves and Fishes. One thing all of you could do is commit to pray every day for missions: local organizations, the work at Fee Fee, missionaries around the world, other countries like the Dominican Republic and Ukraine, and the lost in the world.  How are you going to be more involved in missions in 2020?

    I am always impressed with Fee Fee’s willingness to support the Gospel being spread near and far! 2019 has been no exception to that. We continued in some great, loving, established partnerships and also explored some new exciting opportunities. Let me go over some quick stats for you of how you supported missions:

    • You raised over $3,000 to provide clean drinking water for our partner church in the Dominican Republic. In 2019, we made progress with the project: the initial hole was dug, the pipe was installed, the water was tested, and the first round of pump equipment was bought. Please continue to pray towards the completion of this project in 2020.
    • We sent 60 people on mission trips to Dominican Republic, Houston, Ukraine, Missouri, Mexico, and Windermere.
    • We sent over $12,000 to the North American Missions through Annie Armstrong giving and over $16,000 to International Missions through Lottie Moon giving.
    • Once a month we provided dinner to Loaves and Fishes Homeless Shelter and built relationships with the clients there.
    • We did our first Impact Week where we gave 455 volunteer hours to our surrounding community.

    This is not an exhaustive list but gives you a picture of some of the ways God used us in this past year for His glory. Thank you for lovingly caring that the Gospel message is shown and told to those in our neighborhoods and around the world. I can’t wait to see how God uses us to continue to share the Good News in 2020!
