Christmas 2012 update from Followers of Christ:

Followers of Christ members are all doing well and we are still actively fundraising for the building of our future church site. We did identify a few properties this year, but towards the end of the last quarter it fell through, because of issues with the proposed site. We are still praying that God will show us a way to make it all happen.

We have seen an increase in growth and addition of new younger members ages 18-29 within the year due to the fact that our youth have married and become their own family units. Also, the youth and new younger couples are reaching out to friends and becoming disciples themselves.

We anticipate another glorious year ahead of us as partners with the FCC team!

Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas and New Year! Blessings, KJ Vang
