August Missions Moment
The Missions Moment for this month is centered on Youth for Christ. As the name suggests, this organization ministers to young people still in high school; Faith Church has supported them for decades and they really need our support now more than ever.  Three years ago, their area director (Art Bjorndal) retired after 35 years of service.  He was asked to return to help sort out and solve some of the subsequent problems they faced-----some personnel departures and financial issues. After prayerful consideration he agreed to return for one year.  Please pray for this man and for the ministry of YFC.  For more information, see Bob Miller: Saranacbob@AOL .com
