Faith Bible Church office

featuring

Bring Me Hope Foundation

We have a special guest speaker, Miranda Robinson, visiting us from Iowa!

 She will be sharing with us about the work of Bring Me Hope Foundation with orphans in China.

Bring Me Hope Foundation's mission is: To meet Chinese orphans' four greatest needs - God's love, families, education and medical care - through a combination of summer camps and year- round programs to raise awareness and deliver hope when and where it's needed most.

Bryan and Jodi Anderson's son, Hagan, was blessed to be involved in their summer camp last year.  The photos of love being showered on him are priceless!

Come and hear what Bring Me Hope is doing in China!

The gift of a goat!

I admit,

I am a city girl.

I have never milked a goat.

In fact, 

I usually don't even think about where my milk comes from - 

I just run to the grocery store 

at my convenience and my children's needs are met!

But a goat to families in Ethiopia -

can and does change their lives!

Through our friends at Project Hopeful FIG Awassa

you too can share with some beautiful 

families!

 Our friends, Greg and Charisa have set up a paypal on their blog 

specifically to purchase a goat (referred to as a sheep in Ethiopia)

A Goat for Christmas

A Shared Burden

Last Sunday was when we were able to 

share Orphan Sunday with our congregation.

We were able to launch Truly Blessed Adoption Ministry.

Selinda was able to share the mission of Truly Blessed

and challenge us as to what are we doing for the orphan.

Jodi shared her story of how God called 

her family to Hagan and Griggs.

Pastor Brad Banks shared a wonderful message -

challenging us to 

ask God 

- what am I to do?

You are welcome to listen to this podcast of 

Pastor Brad

Take 23 minutes to hear what Brad shared,

specific booths with go to a specified adoptive family.

This year, 

proceeds will be going to the Anderson family.
