building a community to reach a community

Our emphasis on adoption and fostering may have drawn to a close on the blog last week, but that does not mean God’s work here is done. In the past few months, we’ve sensed God moving the hearts of many in our church body to consider His calling to care for the orphan in need. The GFC community is filled with those who have walked this journey themselves or who are now stepping out in faith.

Last Sunday morning, I referenced 1 Timothy 4:12 in relationship to the message from Philippians 3:17-21 entitled The Road Less Best Traveled.    

Every adoption experience is unique. Ours has been brutal. (For the record, we've been told by our agency this may be their hardest case. That makes us feel better, a little.) Our birthmother chose us 6 weeks away from delivery.

On Sunday, February 23rd, we celebrated several baptisms during our two services. It's encouraging to see how God is at work in unique ways. In the videos below, you can watch both the testimonies and the baptisms of those who took a step of obedience to Go Public!
