FROSTPROOF MEMBERS LET THEIR LIGHTS SHINE
by Brenda Welch
When Frostproof, Fla., Company members anchored their church plant more than five years ago in this rural Central Florida community, they reaffirmed a commitment to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. A lighthouse mural in the sanctuary is a constant reminder to let their lights shine in this corner of the world.
Recently, crew members revisited their Captain’s orders in Matthew 28:18-20 to assess if His Majesty’s Ship was still on course. The crew did their utmost in 2012 to faithfully perform their duties, which included:
- Deepening a trust in their Captain during two 10-day Prayer Fasts.
- Giving Bible studies to those seeking a safe harbor in the One and Only true Captain.
- Delivering food to those in need each month through a fruit and vegetable ministry. (This ministry was featured as the Florida Conference In Mission video for May 2012.
- Sharing the Good News of their Captain’s love with community children through the Fruits of the Spirit Vacation Bible School program.
- Responding to calls from distressed passengers of life who were drowning in despair or overwhelmed by waves of addiction.
- Continuing to work on their humble new church facility as funds became available. Various projects are yet to be completed.
- Serving hearty Sabbath fellowship meals where guests were invited to consider Frostproof Company as their next Port of Call.
