World Missions at FPC

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
 Matthew 28:19

FPC has long history of supporting missions at home and overseas.  We currently support 60 missionaries with monthly financial contributions, and we take on special projects for these missionaries as we’re able to do so.

A foreign missions trip will be planned for 2008.  In the meantime, groups within FPC continue to come together to raise money and plan on quick missions trips in which they can help build a church or Bible school or host a ministry campaign.

T. L. Craft Institute of Pentecostal Ministries
Guatemala City, Guatemala

Our current special project is a Bible school in Guatemala, named in honor of Pastor Craft. The purpose of the building program is to allow individuals and churches to honor T. L. Craft’s years of dedication to world missions.  Our goal is to raise $60,000 over four years for the completion of the Bible School in Guatemala City.  Individuals or churches may choose to sponsor the project at the following levels:

• Laborer ($50-$99):  Members of the Laborer level of support, a stone used in the building of the Bible School will be engraved with the name of your family, church, or loved one.  A postcard will be delivered to you once your commitment has been met in full.

•  Craftsman ($100-$499):  Members of the Craftsman level of support will have their name engraved above the walkway that leads to the main entrance of the Bible School.

•  Artisan ($500-$999): Members of the Artisan level of support will have the opportunity to have their donation commemorated with a tapestry ($500-$749) or a classroom table ($750-$999) that will be made for use in the Bible School.  The tapestries are beautiful and hand woven. The tables are wooden with an inlaid ceramic tile top surface on which the names of the donors will be inscribed.

•  Master Craftsman ($1,000-$1,499):  Master Craftsmen will be able to sponsor one of six classrooms, three offices, or a student bookstore. Each room will have a place that displays your name as sponsor.

•  Architect ($1,500-$2,499): Architects will be able to sponsor one of three dormitories (men’s, women’s, or teacher’s dorms), the kitchen, dining hall, printing facilities, reception area, or apartment that will be used for AIMers or guests.

•  Founder ($2,500 or more):  Givers at the Founder’s level will have the opportunity to select the chapel, library/boardroom, or main office to be named in honor of their family, church, or loved one.

Everyone who gives to the cause of building the T. L. Craft Institute of Pentecostal Ministries will receive regular updates via email and this web page that will include photographs of the building, students, teachers, revivals, and missions trips.  Donors may make special requests for the various facilities as outlined above by notifying Daniel Venarske at lunavenarske@yahoo.com or at the main office at FPC.
