MISSIONARY THANK YOU NOTES - Our missionaries were greatly blessed through your generosity. Please read their individual notes below:

• Gail Posenjak -Thank you so much for the monthly support, faithful prayers, and additional support that you have given to me and the ministry in Papua New Guinea.  Your Christmas gift was very generous and thoughtful.  I appreciate the time you spend thinking and praying for the church planting teams as well as the support ministries that are needed to see the people of PNG come to faith in our Lord and Savior. Your partnership in ministry means so much to me. 
• Dave and Mel Proctor -Thanks so much for the year end gift.  We are so thankful for all of you at Faith Church that have faithfully prayed and given to make our work possible.  We serve on the other end of the ocean but we serve the same Lord and I'm sure one day in heaven there will be many from across the world who will express their thanks directly to you. 
• Ben and Jeanne -Blessed New Year to you all! We express our gratitude to your missions committee and church body for this very generous gift from Faith, our faithful supporters for all these decades! 
• Darren and Gina- Gina and I are so encouraged with the generous support of Faith Free. This year-end gift is particularly encouraging to us as it comes in the Lord’s timing. Thank you! We are both praising God for His provision through Faith Church. Gina and I are also encouraged with the healthy growth of our first responder work in the Greater Portland and Seattle areas (among several other places around the country.)
