Kids Care Challenge: Giving Beyond Christmas

Our children recently surpassed their goal of collecting 300 food items for CAM—WOO HOO! But the opportunity to give isn’t over. Through the end of January, children are invited to bring mittens, socks, gloves, and beanie hats as part of a new giving challenge. Let’s continue showing God’s love through generous hearts and helping hands.

Yucatan Peninsula Mission (YPM) is working to expand its iYPM campus in the Yucatan in response to increased demand for student enrollment. The project will add a second story to Classroom Building 2, creating four new classrooms—including a chemistry laboratory—to support students pursuing degrees in business administration, education, theology, social work, and more.

This $100,000 expansion will help YPM continue opening pathways of dignity, opportunity, and transformation through Christ-centered education.

Perspectives is a fifteen-lesson discipleship course that invites you to explore God’s global purpose through four vantage points: Biblical, Historical, Cultural, and Strategic. Together, these perspectives reveal how God has worked throughout history to make His name known, how the Church has responded, and how we are invited to participate today. 

The course walks through Scripture, the early Church, the global Christian movement, and modern-day missions history. Students learn how God moves, how His people join His work, and how the gospel continues to advance across the world.

This is not just a course about missions—it’s a transformational journey that clarifies every believer’s unique role in God’s redemptive plan. Whether you’re exploring vocation, deepening discipleship, or discerning your place in God’s story, Perspectives helps you grow in understanding and purpose.

The class meets Tuesdays, January 20–May 5, at First Baptist Church.

Registration is now open.

As we look forward to the new school year ahead, we have been encouraged to hear about many prayers and praises from our Biblicus Mexico Scholarship students. As these students study are equipped and developing vision for the ways that God has called them to be leaders in ministry across Mexico, FPC Covenant Partners are invited to connect with them as Prayer Partners. If you are interested in learning how you might walk with a student in prayer, please contact Lindsay Selli.
