Catch the Vision
Thank you to the many who participated in our recent FAIR appeal (September-December 2023): Journey with a Child. Your generosity ad prayer support will make a world of difference in the lives of children in the development projects that our churches, through FAIR, continue to support. Thank you.
Catch the Vision
Our next major FAIR appeal (Fellowship Aid and International Relief) begins this month and concludes April 30th. Please prayerfully consider a gift toward one or more of the four projects being addressed.
I’ve asked our, FAIR Director, Dan Shurr to describe the projects and how you can pray and give toward these needs:
Jesus tells us in Mark 12:29-31 that the most important commandments are to love God with everything you have and are, and to love your neighbour the way you would want to be loved. But who is your neighbour? And how can you love your neighbour as yourself? FAIR’s vision is to be the primary avenue through which Fellowship churches and members engage in humanitarian aid and social development. We seek to help you love God while loving others in a global context; to be that agent of mercy and compassion for your global neighbour.
Through FAIR’s Winter 2024 special appeal, Catch the Vision, FAIR is highlighting four of the projects found in the FAIR Catalogue that are in particular need of help from global neighbours. The goal is to raise $160,000 which will be distributed between the four projects. Whether it’s supporting surgical training in Madagascar, increasing the capacity to help marginalized communities in Sri Lanka, vocational training in Pakistan, or supports for inmates in the MENA and Stan regions, each project brings both the truth of the Gospel and tangible love in action to those who benefit from them.
Would you prayerfully consider how the Lord is calling you to respond?
