Conclusion

We recognize this is a significant ministry plan. We realize at first it may seem overwhelming, but we have grown increasingly convicted that God has granted to us at FBC amazing opportunities in our community, and incredible connections around the world. As a church we are uniquely positioned to make an eternal difference.

We do not want to be like the servant in the Gospel who out of fear, hid his talent, and upon his master’s return, surrendered it with no increase. We wish to act in courage (not in ourselves but in our faithful God), and we deeply desire for the souls that make up Fellowship Bible Church to one day hear “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

We also know that we cannot accomplish this ministry plan alone. We are therefore asking our congregation to give more than a nod of approval, but to actively demonstrate their support, by their personal involvement and ownership in a number of ways. We recognize there are significant time commitments here. We believe that the Lord Jesus, who sacrificed all things for us, is worthy of our sacrifice of praise (Heb. 13:15-16).
