SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING
We are calling a special business meeting on Sunday, March 6 to ask the congregation’s approval for funding to renovate the Youth Room (room 201). This will be a very brief meeting, since this is the only topic we intend to address. This meeting will take place directly after the Main Session, before Breakout Sessions begin. All are welcome to attend, but only active members will vote on this decision. We will have short presentations by our youth ministry team and FBC leadership before question/response and voting. We appreciate your support of our youth ministry!
Sincerely, Scott Meyers
on behalf of FBC Deacons

FBC Richland: Who We Are (Week Eight)

Pastor Tim Walker

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 
3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. 
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. 
6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
Psalms 19:1-6 NIV

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Ephesians 4:11-16 ESV

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—
4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought
to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
7 Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,
9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.
10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him),
11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.
14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas.
15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you..
Colossians 4:2-18 ESV

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together.
“Rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.

David & Andrea Foster

ABWE; Richland WA & Training for Ministry in Thailand

David and Andrea Foster are full-time missionaries, raising support to work in the Isan region of Thailand with ABWE (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism). Their ministry includes evangelism & discipleship, youth outreach, men’s & women’s fellowship groups, leadership development, and church planting. David preached the gospel in 21 different churches in 2021. They are currently mentoring men & women in the US and Cambodia. David is from Richland, Washington, and Andrea is from St. Louis Park, Minnesota. They have two children, Karen (17), and Sarah (4).

David was saved during a Vacation Bible School program here at FBC. Andrea was saved during a Good News Club program. Karen was saved after an AWANA event. In December, Sarah accepted Jesus as her Savior.

It is said that in Thailand, 95% of the people will never meet a Christian. The focus of the Fosters’ ministry and message is to help people meet, know, and follow Jesus, to encourage and develop a healthy relationship with Him, and to leave behind the ‘backpack’ mentality of taking God with them on their journey and instead focusing on the ‘new life journey’ of following and even pursuing Christ. God has already opened many doors for them to share the Gospel to people from all walks of life, and to many different cultures and nationalities. Until they move to Thailand, they will continue to do ministry where God has placed them.

Join a Missions Team Breakout Session on Sunday, February 27 at 11:00 AM to hear more about their ministry.

Prayer Requests:

• Praise for Sarah asking Jesus into her heart
• Praise for a very successful year of ministry and training in 2021
• Prayer for David, Andera, and their daughters to have a healthy relationship with God and each other
• Prayer for their monthly support level to reach 100% so they can then move to Thailand
• Prayer for ministry opportunities while they are here, that they continue to see open doors to share the Gospel
• Prayer for the Isan people of Northeastern Thailand to hear the Gospel
• Prayer for Andre in Cambodia, as they mentor him and others in his church, and as he pursues planting more churches in Cambodia
