Local College ministry comes to First Christian.

Christian Campus Fellowship or "CCF" of the University of West Georgia meets monthly in the Family Life Center at First Christian Church. Jason Walton, the campus minister leads about 100 college age students through worship, sharing and bible teaching. Wow! What a joy it is for First Christain to provide the evening meal and welcome these wonderful students into our facility. Let's always encourage these fine and interested college students to walk with the Lord. You can reach Jason Walton at CCF by writing him at jason@uwgccf.org. CCF can always use your financial support as well, so consider a Christmas offering for CCF this year.

Supporting South India Christian Mission

John Vincent, pictured here with his hosts, Dick and Susan Ingle visited with our congregation over 12 days in October. John Vincent is a native of India, who left Hinduism at age 13 to become a Christian. Cast out of his home by his father, John eventually ended up in a Bible training school and today ministers in a mighty way in southern India, pastoring a local church as well as training other Pastors. John along with about a dozen other native preachers receive their direct support from the mission budget here at First Christian Church in Carrollton. Your giving to the Lord's work really does help! John Vincent is living proof of a life changed by the wonderful love of Jesus. While in Carrollton, John, ministered in several settings, including worship on Sunday, October 21st.

Africa Mission Fund exceeds expectations.

Several months ago myself and Johnny Culwell in our congregation set plans to go to Kenya, Africa this November with International Leadership Institute to serve in church leadership training and medical assistance for children. Our fund raising goal was $8,000.00 so that Johnny and I could get our own way paid and make a small donation to ILI. As of today we have smashed the goal! People have responded generously and close to $17,000.00 has been raised. Slightly more than $7,000.00 was raised at the Spagetti Dinner and dessert auction alone. All extra monies will go towards medical supplies for children in the slums of Naivasha, Kenya. A city north/northwest of the capitol Nairobi.

I have also collected from the congregation, a hundred pair of eyeglasses and hundreds of toothbrushes which will also go with us to help the Kenyans. My wife Terri will also be with us on the trip as an employee of ILI. Thanks to so many who do more than can be imagined to bring hope to Africa.
