Commissioning Service






On Sunday, June 10, 2018, our team stood before our church family and received their prayers and blessings for our trip. SFCC Board Member Jeff Jones talked about the Parable of the Talents, Matthew 25:14-30. Jeff shared that we are taking our talents into the world, where we will be the hands and face of Christ. We're are heading to AYDC to share our talents with them, to teach them English and share the love of Jesus with them, and likewise, just as we will teach them, they will undoubtedly teach us a thing or two as well. Jeff asked the congregation to commit to praying for us every day, and then to extended their hands towards us as he prayed over us. 
What an incredible journey to be on! To be the hands and face of Jesus, to share his love, to walk beside our brothers and sisters in Christ in Thailand and to know that we have the full support and prayers of our brothers and sisters at home California. What an amazing blessing!! God is so good!
26 days to departure!!! 

Our Team


Thursday, June 7, 2018

The time is near for our mission team to take flight and head to Thailand. We've been preparing for almost a year. In just over a month, we'll hop on a plane and stay there for quite a few hours before we land. We'll enjoy a layover before hopping on another plane taking us into Thailand. From there, we'll get in vehicles and drive over an hour to our home for 2 weeks at the Akha Youth Development Center (AYDC). We're excited to visit AYDC and work with the students & teachers there. We have activities planned, crafts prepared, and hearts open to share Jesus' love with all we encountered. This Sunday, June 10th, our team will be commissioned, prayed over, & encouraged by our church family.
