Global Ministries Special Projects
To support all of our partners, you can give directly to our Global Missions fund. You also have the option to give to a special project that global partners have identified as a great need. This year we are inviting you to give to the following special projects:
North Africa
Several years ago in North Africa, a school was started for the children of those sent by God to serve the people of this region of the world. As a result, those who are serving could make long-term commitments to staying as their children had a place to grow and learn. What also began to happen is that the families in the city where the school is located expressed a desire to send their children to this school so that these children can receive a great education. Enrollment took off, and this school is a key part of the work that is happening in this part of the world. The Global Mission Team invites you to help the work of this school advance as we help them to improve the infrastructure, provide better security, and improve classroom space to accommodate the increasing enrollment. Our goal is to raise $50,000 for CCA to move forward with the work of this school.
Amount Needed: $50,000
Cuba
Churches in Cuba are the lifeline for many vulnerable people. We invite you to help the feeding programs of two churches who care for the elderly to grow to accommodate the many senior adults who have no one caring for them. One of the churches we partner with is located in San Jose de los Ramos. This is a rural community, and many senior adults live in this small town. The church provides medicines, meals, and social gatherings for the people of this community. The global mission team invites you to give so that the meals provided can be sustained into the future. A second partner church is in the Havana neighborhood of Guanabacoa. The Cuban economic crises that began in small towns and rural places, is now impacting the capital city of Havana. In the midst of scarcity of food and medicine, and long electrical blackouts, our partners serve a hot oatmeal breakfast five mornings a week to 100 elderly people. The church would like to expand both the number of recipients as well as begin serving lunches. We invite you to help us to raise $20,000 for these churches to spread God's love and grow these ministries of mercy.
Amount Needed: $20,000

Small groups are the lifeblood of FPC; they’re the main way to connect to the church community. In our groups, we engage Scripture, build spiritual friendships, and work out what it looks like to follow Jesus here and now. We’d love to help you find the group that’s right for you!
