Missions 2022
Jesus has given His church a mission to accomplish. Throughout October, we will be inspired, challenged, and blessed as we focus our attention on reaching the world with the gospel.
When it comes to the mission of preaching the gospel to every person in the world, what would God have you do? We are praying for our church family that every person would humbly tell God, “I’ll go anywhere.” God calls us to surrender to His priorities and re-arrange our lives for His mission.

Missions 2022 :: I’ll Go Anywhere - Why missions emphasis month?

Pastor Chris Andrews (Discipleship + Missions Pastor) - 1 Timothy 2 (1 Timothy 2:1-8; 2 Corinthians 5:18)
 
Why are we having a missions emphasis month? What is the basis for doing this? Why are we studying Faith Promise? The answer is simple...it is what God wants us to do and it is written in His Word.

Missions 2022 :: I’ll Go Anywhere - Blessed!

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - 1 Corinthians 3:21-23; 4:1-2
 
We are so blessed by God! As His children, God takes care of us! But this comes with a responsibility. We are to be stewards or managers of God blessings! We are “required” to be faithful with the blessings in our lives.
What does this mean? It means to be surrendered and ready to do and go anywhere that God leads us!

Missions Update 2022: Missionary Edgar Feghaly (Middle East)

Missionary Edgar Feghaly (Middle East)
 
Take a listen to this Missions Update from Missionary Edgar Feghaly. Dr. Edgar Feghaly will share how God opened the Middle East before him.
Dr. Edgar Feghaly was saved in 1956 in Beirut, Lebanon, after hearing the Gospel through the efforts of American missionaries. He immediately began serving the Lord as a young person and was called to preach as a young adult. After a brief time in the United States for training, Dr. Feghaly returned to Lebanon with his wife Rosann, where they served the Lord throughout the Lebanese War.
As doors have opened across the Middle East and West Africa, the Lord has used Dr. Feghaly to plant churches in these Muslim regions. The Feghalys continue to train and labor alongside national pastors throughout the 10/40 window and are seeing the Lord work through their ministry in miraculous ways.

Missions 2021 :: The Call - Taking Back the Thrive Life

Pastor Dave Liuzzo (Fellowship Baptist Church; Executive Pastor + Thrive Church; Lead Pastor) - John 10:10 & 1 Samuel 30 (Isaiah 14:13-14; Genesis 3:4-5; Romans 5:12; John 10:10; 14:26; 1 Samuel 30:1-6, 8 & 16-18; Hebrews 10:24-25)
 
Have you ever been robbed? Whether or not, Satan steals from the believer more often than we realize. And it’s not our salvation that he takes, it is the abundant life God meant for us to have.
It’s time to take back what belongs to us. It’s time to take back the thrive life. According to John 10:10, God doesn’t want us just to exist, He wants us to thrive and we are going to learn how to take that thrive life back.

Missions 2021 :: The Call - The Call to Testify

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - 2 Timothy 3:1; Matthew 24:33 & 40; 25:46; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:13-15; John 1:1-4 & 6-8; 6:68; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:1
 
The Bible tells us that there is coming a day that we will all stand before God. Those that we love and know that do not know Jesus as their savior will be cast into hell. This is something we would rather not think about, but this does not change the fact that this is going to happen.
God has given us the powerful tool to testify to reach the lost. It is not our job to change their hearts or pull them to Jesus, our job is simple, powerful, and effective…TESTIFY! This means to “bear witness” of what God has done in your life!
Answering the call to testify could have an eternal impact on those around us.

Have you ever found yourself avoiding a phone call? We’ve all done it.
But when it comes to a call from God there is a necessity to answer. It’s time to answer the call!
As we begin our month of missions we will start off by looking at the call Jesus gave to Saul/Paul and how his answer to the call started a mission to reach the world.
It’s time for us to continue reaching the world but it starts with answering the call. You only have two choices: answer or decline the call of Jesus! It’s up to you!
