“Rekindle Your Faith” is a campaign designed to address the current and long term financial needs of the Church and to reach out beyond the walls of our church in mission work. The funds from this campaign will address the principal on our mortgage loan with Texas Methodist Foundation. In addition, a tithe (10%) of all contributions in this campaign will be used in new mission projects sponsored by First United Methodist Church.

Rekindle Your Faith Mission Projects


Mission to Kenya

We are excited about the mission work that will be done through Rekindle Your Faith!  One of the ministries that will benefit from your contributions is Africa Inland Mission at Rift Valley Academy in Kijabe, Kenya.  With the funds we will provide, a computer lab will be built to provide vital learning experience for the children in Kijabe.  The picture you see here is an example of how the lab will look.  Children will have the opportunity to learn computer skills that will help them to get better jobs in the future and get out of poverty!

Go online to peifer.kijabe.org to read all about the Rift Valley Academy and the ministry that is done there by Steve and Nancy Peifer and their four children.

GRACE Mission

We are excited about the mission work that will be done through Rekindle Your Faith!  In addition to the Africa Inland Mission we told you about in the last newsletter, we'll also be sponsoring the waiting room at GRACE's new Food Pantry and Health Clinic!  GRACE has been working to expand their facilities and open a health clinic for their clients.  Through the money we raise with Rekindle Your Faith, we will be able to help GRACE by sponsoring the renovation of the room that will serve as the waiting room in their new facility.  Pictured at right in the unfinished waiting room are GRACE Executive Director Tricia Wood and their Capital Campaign Chair Dan Green. 

For those of you who are not familiar with it, the Grapevine Relief And Community Exchange (GRACE) is a locally-based non-profit relief agency which provides food, clothing, financial assistance, and other vital necessities to people who are struggling with a limited income or recent emergency. The philosophy of GRACE is that encouraging self-sufficiency will in turn encourage community cohesiveness. Compassion and assistance are offered as a response to God's grace.


Mexico Mission

As we've mentioned in previous newsletters, our tithe to mission work from the Rekindle Your Faith campaign will allow us to reach out to our local community through GRACE and to reach across the ocean to Africa.  Our third mission project will reach to our neighbors to the south in Mexico.  We will be partnering to build a church in Mexico!  Watch for more information about how you can be involved coming soon!
