Two Core Values

Two of CFC’s Core Values are Missions and Children & Students. We’re excited to update you on how we were recently able to glorify God in both of those areas.
 
Over the EVSC Spring Break, our High School Ministry took 20 people to the Dominican Republic for their annual mission trip. This team spent months together in preparation for what God would do through them. As a first for our HSM teams, this group went on a weekend retreat in January where they spent extended time getting to know one another better and growing spiritually. 
 
One of the most memorable moments from this trip came on the last morning in La Cola when an opportunity was created for the team to join high school students from the community. Over the course of their time together, both CFC students and Dominican students were given the opportunity to share about their high school experiences, hopes for the future, and much more. Through conversation, a couple of high school girls from La Cola opened up about their unfortunate experiences with unloving fathers. They explained different ways they felt as if they were unable to be loved. A group of CFC students explained the gospel and demonstrated the loving heart of our Heavenly Father. They demonstrated how God not only communicates His love verbally but through actions, and none of these actions are more important than the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus. These girls saw God as He has truly revealed Himself and came to trust Christ in that very moment! 
 
Throughout the trip, the team was focused on being Spirit-led and obeying all He was calling them to do. As a result of this, students saw God work in incredible ways and were deeply impacted. Since the team has returned, students from this trip have remained close and are focused on how they can go about living missionally right here in Evansville. This trip was truly an incredible experience for our high school students, and the name of Jesus was magnified. 
 
Thank you for being a part of CFC’s vision of “Glorifying God by Making Disciples of All People!” We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday!
