Few places in the world have more people that have NOT heard the Good News of Jesus Christ than the Arab speaking countries. CBH is poise to launch its 9th language broadcast in early 2011 to reach out to the Arabic world. CBH also shares heartfelt stories and thank you notes from Peru (learning to pray), from a prison in Florida, from an internet broadcast in Colombia, and from hurricane victims in Cuba.
Fellowship, Christian Athletes, youth, coaches, campus, camp, community
Nicole Rapagnani is our Northern Indiana Area Representative to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Nicole reports that FCA has outreach activites in four areas: coaches, campus, camps, and community. Over the past year FCA has many highlights in these areas to share:
A local COACH came to know Christ as his Savior and then was invited to share his testimony at a local FCA meeting, which he did. When a family lost their home in a fire, students at one school took the intitiative on CAMPUS to meet the next morning and discuss how they could assist and minister to the family. Currently 25 high schools in our immediate area have FCA “huddles” on CAMPUS.
Several years ago, a family was introduced to FCA by merely attending an FCA banquet. This led to their volunteering and ultimately to two daughters attending FCA CAMP where the daughters recommitted their lives to Jesus Christ.
The ripple effect of CAMPS can be seen all over our COMMUNITY. Huddle leaders living out their faith day by day; CAMPERS coming back and being of greater service in their schools and churches.
FCA has grown in the past year from 78 huddles (small groups) to 103 and will no doubt continue to grow in our communitites. They rely on our prayers and our gifts.

In our society much “fuss and muss” is made about people striving and developing themselves to be a dynamic leader, but very few corners of our culture place any intentional emphasis on what it means to be a great follower.
In today’s message, Pastor Jeff articulates not only what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus Christ, but lays out the lifestyle of a disciple of Jesus.
