OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Pick up your shoeboxes at FBA or

BUILD A BOX ONLINE at FBA.org! 

(Be sure to do this through our www.FBA.org site so we will meet our goal!) 

          

FBA is on a mission to fulfill the Great Commission, and with Operation Christmas Child (OCC), we can continue doing just that.

This year, you'll have the opportunity to help provide gift-filled shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and necessity items to millions of children in more than 150 countries and territories.

Praise God for completion of all the steps for Reporting, Planning and Budgeting Process for 2023 in preparation for a new year of ministry October 1. 

 

10/27 Robert & Mary Jo Foster 

Be One Together, USA/Brazil 

Pray for their work in reorganizing the Evangelism Explosion ministry to meet new demands and opportunities in Brazil. Robert remains very much involved full-time in daily EE-Brazil activities, investing in the Team through mentoring and coaching via Zoom, WhatsApp, etc., which is a continuation of what he has been doing all along.

 

10/28 Andrew & Inna Ryzhkov 

Byelorussian Mission, Inc., USA/Belarus/Israel 

Having a firm belief in investing in youth, they have returned to Belarus after eight months of preparations to conduct their annual NATIONAL YOUTH CAMP. After last year’s incredible success, word of the camp spread across the nation and hundreds of new, non-believing young adults spammed their registration form in order to attend the camp.  

 

10/29 Gary & Esther Smith 

Ethnos360, Papua New Guinea

Praise God that all their recent medical expenses and travel costs for those medical needs have been covered! 

 

10/30 Gérard & Anne Chalvet 

Christian Missions in Many Lands, Inc., France 

Pray on October 30 for our special Sunday for outreach on the Grenoble University Campus with several Student groups. (50,000 students on campus). Pray for more younger elders to assume leadership in our church in the coming year, according to the Lord’s leading. 

 

10/31 Isaias & Judith Catorce 

TMS Global, Philippines  

Pray for the Catorces as they will be back October 30 to November 5 for their face-to-face Module 02 classes in Eastern Samar. Thirty-five students have already confirmed attendance. Six teachers will travel and teach for six straight days and five nights. Their ongoing cloud community in Japan, Italy and Surigao also needs your help and prayer.

 

11/1 Gary & Penny Seithel 

United World Mission, England 

Praise for the involvement of the railway, community leaders, police, local council, and Rail Pastors coming together to address the crime and suicide rates in their area. The railway has requested the Street Pastors come to the station near a mental facility for how well they minister to people who are contemplating suicide on the rail tracks.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” I Corinthians 15:58 (NASB)
