Good Morning Family!
Once again, the Lord has empowered our women of FBBCF to pull together one of the most impactful events for the Kingdom that we see each year. Our Special Events Team has gone above and beyond in preparation and much prayer over our 3rd Annual Fall Women’s Conference, “Seasons in the Wilderness”. My heartfelt gratitude for all who have coordinated, decorated, cooked, and shared their hearts all along the way with one another and with those who attended. This vision, birthed in 2024, has seen God’s blessing in an unmistakable way. He has brought this together for the last three years and we have heard from many of the women who have attended of the works the Lord has done in their lives in response to what they experience and are taught as they worship and hear the Word. And each year more come along for the ride. So, once again, my heart is full of love and appreciation for our women here at FBCCF!
I am leaving the following information in my letter to be reprinted each week during September…
September 2026 offers us an opportunity to see what God wants to do through us in relation to the clearing of the land. So, we already had gathered funding for the deposit that has been paid to the excavating company doing the work on our new land with which the Lord blessed us. And as you can see, great progress is being made already! The balance will be close to or around $50,000 payable at the end of the job which should be completed from late September to early October.
We have been blessed in that the Lord has provided a person willing to be a benefactor to help us in this endeavor, so as to avoid dealings with banks. This person is asking us as a church family to collect what we can during the month of September toward the balance due and at the end, they will generously match what we have collected up to $25,000 which will double our dollars. Then, anything that might remain, after they donate their matching funds as well, will be financed to the church at zero interest.
This is an unexpected blessing and opportunity for the church family. We will be collecting toward this effort during September. So, any gifts toward it should be clearly designated #60-Land Development Fund. As you would expect, all gifts toward this from our church family should be above our normal giving as we do not want our regular budget items to be hindered in this extra fund-raising time. God is so good!
As always, my prayer is that we would all, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15
Humbly Yours,
Dr. Steven Gann
Your Shepherd of the Hills
