When Frostproof, Fla., Company members anchored their church plant more than five years ago in this rural Central Florida community, they reaffirmed a commitment to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. A lighthouse mural in the sanctuary is a constant reminder to let their lights shine in this corner of the world.
Recently, crew members revisited their Captain’s orders in Matthew 28:18-20 to assess if His Majesty’s Ship was still on course. The crew did their utmost in 2012 to faithfully perform their duties, which included:
- Deepening a trust in their Captain during two 10-day Prayer Fasts.
- Giving Bible studies to those seeking a safe harbor in the One and Only true Captain.
- Delivering food to those in need each month through a fruit and vegetable ministry. (This ministry was featured as the Florida Conference In Mission video for May 2012.
- Sharing the Good News of their Captain’s love with community children through the Fruits of the Spirit Vacation Bible School program.
- Responding to calls from distressed passengers of life who were drowning in despair or overwhelmed by waves of addiction.
- Continuing to work on their humble new church facility as funds became available. Various projects are yet to be completed.
- Serving hearty Sabbath fellowship meals where guests were invited to consider Frostproof Company as their next Port of Call.
