The question then arises who really knows you, how are you letting yourself be known, that you may be an effective minister for the Gospel. May we strengthen and encourage each other that we may run our race well.
LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE

Where Does Ministry Happen? Part 4
The 4th facet where we believe ministry happens is in the church. While we do encourage ministry outside the walls of the church building, there are many ways to serve the body here at FCL. Your passion for evangelism should be partnered with the encouragement of a local body, and commitment to that body. So many of us are running around from church to church, trying to get our "needs" met and the Lord, in His word, is calling us to join, be involved, receive encouragement from a body that is invested in you and knows you. God has given us specific gifts for the building up of the Body, that is the Church (1 Cor. 12, Romans 12). These gifts range from teaching, to leading, to organizing, to friendship, you name it. We are not to neglect the meeting together of the saints (Heb. 10:24-25), because it is here where we are encouraged in our gifts, where people see what we are good at and passionate about, and we are able to play well the role that God has given us. Paul reminds us, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Galatians 6:10).
