Faith Baptist Community Church and Center was founded in BMM's backyard -- their "Jerusalem" -- and continues to be operated by missionaries from that agency. As director Mike Vanek writes, America’s inner cities cannot be forgotten as fields "ripe for harvest."
The community center offers a wide range of services, including:
- Meal program
- Clothing room
- Medical
- Pregnancy services
- Computer classes
- Interdependent living program
- Men’s programs
- Women’s programs
- Children and Teen programs
- Sunday School & Church service
- Prayer meeting
- Discipleship
Pregnancy services are where we came in to help. In addition to consultation on the start-up of ministry to pregnant women, we helped FBCCC obtain their first ultrasound equipment. They not only offer support at the start of a pregnancy, but help women learn proper pre-natal and infant care through one-on-one and video instruction.
How to help:
- Pray for Sherri Vanek, the clinical coordinator, and Jen Lake, the pregnancy program coordinator
- Volunteer opportunities abound
- Donations are welcome, and not limited to funding - food, paper products, gently used clothing, personal hygiene products, OTC medications and medical supplies, new baby items (check website for details)
