Do you like to work with you hands? Would you enjoy an opportunity to give back? Do you have kids that would benefit from serving others?

Join Firefighters For Christ International as we give back to Hume Lake Christian Camps.

For years, Hume Lake has served us like Jesus as they have hosted our international gatherings and blessed us beyond measure with their yearly firefighter conferences. This year, we want to give back.

October 21-24, 2024 there is a volunteer work week at Hume New England (in Massachusetts). We would love to invite as many FFC members and families as Hume can contain to join us in blessing this camp ministry.

We will be working with our hands to help clean and improve the grounds and help them prepare for their next season of ministry. There will be something for everyone. Lodging and meals are provided.

If you're joining us, please send an email to communications@firefightersforchrist.org to let us know to connect with you while we are there.

FFC ERT Members,

We are in the initial stage of spooling up a team to go to North Carolina to assist Samaritan's Purse with hurricane Helene relief. This email is to gauge our member's interest in responding. We have a potential leader lined up for October 6th, but if there's somebody who would be interested in leading a team before then, please let me know via response to this email. 

The work in Asheville will be access and assisting homeowners in salvage. Samaritan's Purse has equipment on the ground, but would love our help in the relief work. Like all FFC deployments, we would be meeting tangible needs on the ground while making access to first responder networks. At that point, coordination would happen with SP so that we could break away and minister directly to firefighter families. 

Initial steps for this deployment will be to go to SPvolunteer.org and register with them directly. Secondly, follow the link at the bottom of this email and join the Helene response WhatsApp group which is where any further communication will come from. I'm in communication with SP leadership, and will be able to communicate next steps as soon as I get them. 

It's an honor to serve alongside you brothers and sisters in Christ. Please be in prayer for all those affected by the storm and for all the hardship that is sure to follow. 

John Klewer, FFD ERT Co-lead, Fresno Fire Dept
