For the last 25 years, Fellowship Bible Church has made a remarkable impact around the world through Global Christmas and the generous gifts totaling nearly 8 million dollars. Through long-standing and trusted relationships with our partners, we have had a close-up view of the Gospel impacting lives around the world. One of the cornerstones of our Global Outreach efforts lies in its partnership with indigenous leaders as we come alongside, resource, and offer encouragement to them in the kingdom work that God has entrusted to them.

Through these relationships, we have been able to mutually encourage each other in faith and ministry. As you read this magazine, I hope the Spirit inspires and refreshes you with how each partner is sharing the Gospel and discipling people in their community. Many of our Partners have been working in places resistant to the Gospel, and they have a lot to teach us as we pursue the vision God has given us to see Jesus transform thousands of hearts through the people of Fellowship.

As we envision the future of outreach, we long to see everyone at Fellowship become a disciple-maker, inviting the people God has placed in our lives to encounter Jesus, training them up to become like Jesus, and then sending them out to embody Jesus wherever they go. When we follow Jesus together with our whole hearts, we are guided by his mission and led to live with a clear purpose and plan for how we will help others do the same. Discipleship is always in the context of relationships, and in relationships we respond to the needs of others with love, compassion, and service. When we picture each person at Fellowship empowered by the Spirit living out of their God- given gifts, passion and calling, we see:

• Flourishing Christ-centered families
• Tangible needs being met for the underserved in our community
• Marriages restored
• The Gospel transforming local schools and universities
• People finding new meaning and purpose in their work

Our Partners model unwavering commitment in the face of resistance and trials. Let us be inspired by their journey and join together to make a lasting impact in our own community and beyond.
