Couples Reflect and Reconnect at The Wilds

In mid-October, seventeen FBC couples of all ages headed to a Couples’ Conference at The Wilds Christian Camp in the mountains of Brevard, North Carolina.

Leaves were turning golden and reddish hues, and evidence of Hurricane Helene’s flooding littered the roadsides with dried mud, downed trees, and debris.

Despite sustaining some storm damage, The Wilds opened up for camp just days before Friendship couples came to enjoy God’s beauty, great food, and fun activities, along with biblical teaching, music, and fellowship.

Christian camp can lay a foundation, but it’s up to the Church to build off of that foundation and continue to disciple, to support, and to train that young person for Christ.

My Brother’s Keeper: The Call to Missions Beyond Familiar Faces

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Every man for himself!”

I’ve said this jokingly after disturbing a bee’s nest and many other times when self preservation quickly became my top priority.

Since the beginning of time, man has been tempted to look out for himself at the neglect of others. In Genesis 4, God asks Cain, “Where is Abel thy brother?” to which Cain replies, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Perhaps surprising to Cain, the answer is and continues to be a resounding “yes!”

Coming Home to Bethlehem: A Christmas Musical
