Outreach

FC collects food for the food pantry at the OUR Center. Since 2009, they’ve distributed 7,005,171 pounds of food to those in need and Faith Community has had the privilege of being a part of that mission.

Ten years ago, FC helped The Round Pantry with a grant to purchase freezers/coolers to kick off the ministry. Distribution to 800+ families happens on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. FC provides 20+ volunteers who help at Westview Presbyterian to set up, organize, sort, and bag non-perishables as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, bread and milk; and then, distribute to people as they drive through the parking lot. More volunteers are always needed!

You are welcome to join in on the fun with the quilters. The only questions are: Can you use scissors? Can you tie a knot? Can you use straight pins? Can you match fabrics together? Can you bring and use a sewing machine?

Then please join this Outreach Ministry for one of their quarterly 3-day quilting periods as they whip up some amazing and cozy quilts. The finished quilts (often, almost 50 are made in the three days) are prayed over by the Quilting Ladies before they are taken to and distributed by Lutheran World Relief, located in Denver, OR donated locally. Donations are welcome.

A small group of Christians along Colorado’s Front Range is using WhatsApp and Zoom to virtually meet with groups of young people in several middle eastern countries for the purpose of hearing and learning from native English speakers, while actually fishing for men and women who might be open to hearing about the Gospel. Most of us are just like you, not traditional teachers, but everyday Christians who want to help influence others to hear God’s Word by talking about how He works in our lives, by praying, and by demonstrating Christ’s desire for us to help others. You don’t need to be an expert in language or Islam or theology. Tutoring, training, and ongoing consultation is readily available from others who have been doing this for awhile and from the teachers and missionaries among us. Several of us meet regularly on Zoom or in person to pray, to talk about situations that come up, and to share training opportunities. You can choose your own level of time commitment.

We invite you to join us in this humble, but exciting work! Contact John Bauman at 303-651-0149 or johnbauman08@gmail.com for more information.

We are breaking ground on a transformation center in South Asia where young, on-fire Christ-followers will undergo intensive training that will equip them to venture out to villages in an effort to share the Gospel with those who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. These individuals plant an average of 3-7 churches apiece. We’ve raised an initial $65,000 for this project and are in the process of raising $35,000 more.

The Colombian church plant halted construction during the pandemic but they continue to meet in local homes with families and children, leading others to Christ and providing help when needs arise.

FCLC helped plant The Holiness Church in Ecuador which provides schooling for 200 children and affects the lives of over 2,000 people in the community. FCLC members continue to sponsor Compassion children at this site in Ecuador.

Harmony Life International is an organization that seeks to be a light in the darkness by bringing hope, healing, and love to hurting people. Their music and arts ministry plays an important role by building individuals’ self-esteem and nourishing their hearts and souls. They also help teach the locals general skills and have built houses for them as well.
