Each year at this time, we challenge our church to spend less on holiday shopping and give generously to support Kingdom-building projects.
Giving is open through December 8th. When you give, please be sure to select ‘Thanksgiving Offering’ from the dropdown!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our congregation, we have met our giving goal! We are so grateful for the gifts we received for these projects.
If giving for the Thanksgiving Offering closed before you had a chance to give, please consider giving to the General Fund (click here to give!). First Free supports missionaries, mission organizations (both local and global), and lots of awesome ministry right here on our campus.
Thank you for your gifts and your faithful support of First Free!
MyLife Medical & Resource Center’s mission is to empower men & women to make healthy decisions concerning life, sex, and families by providing free and low-cost tests, ultrasounds, and education. Their services are free to their clients, with no income or residency requirements.
All too often, MyLife receives phone calls from women who express a need for one or more of their services (especially pregnancy testing and ultrasounds), but who have no way of getting to the Center. So, MyLife wants to go to them! They are taking steps toward launching a mobile ministry where they can take their services (and Jesus) to their clients, making it easier for women to hear the truth about their options with an unplanned pregnancy and begin a supportive, caring relationship with the MyLife team.
MyLife Medical & Resource Center is raising money to purchase a specially equipped van to serve their clients. First Free is raising funds for the mobile ultrasound unit that will go into the van.
MyLife has touched many lives in their community through counseling, pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, parenting classes, and material resources. They are eager to broaden their impact and serve even more women!
1,200 Unreached People Groups in SE Asia need to hear the good news about Jesus.
Broad gospel sowing is essential to all current church-planting movements among Muslims. However, initiating broad gospel-sowing strategies is challenging for local teams in Southeast Asia.
This social media outreach project allows local teams to leverage current technologies and media and collaborate with local believers (field partners).
We are partnering with an organization that networks with groups of Muslim Background Believers (MBBs), other foreign mission groups, and local mission organizations in SE Asia. They use online media to identify spiritually open individuals among the unreached people groups around SE Asia. Currently, they have 60+ SE Asian believers/MBBs who are directly partnering with this comprehensive gospel-sowing effort.
This project will be centered on developing social media channels and other websites that will run targeted ads allowing Muslims to discover God’s love and plan for salvation.
Praise God that this organization has already begun to see fruit from this type of outreach, and join with them in prayer that many more people will be reached!
The staff, pastors, and elders of First Free are spending time prayerfully planning our next steps as a church.
We hope to become a community hub – a place where families can come and feel welcome, even before they attend a service. We also want to serve our current families well and create a safe and fun environment for the children in our care.
One of the things we are planning for is a new playground by the west entrance to the building. Our hope is that a new play structure will be both a delight to our current families and a draw to new ones.
We have target amounts that we are hoping to raise for MyLife and the social media outreach project. After our first two projects are fully funded, the remaining funds will go towards a new playground.
Thank you for giving generously to support these projects!
We cannot designate gifts to one project or the other. If donations to this fund exceed our goal, excess funds will be used at the discretion of First Free Church for ministry purposes.
Newsletters are sent out once per month. We will never share or sell your information.
