Having a passport is a must if you plan to travel outside of the United States.
(Not to mention that it's really cool to have one.) Is your passport ready? Do you
know when it expires?

Praying for missions keeps you tuned in to God's way of thinking throughout your
day. Keep track of your prayer time and turn it in at by phone or at one of our
church services. Each month, we send our missionaries an update on our prayer time.
What an encouragement!

Encourage a missionary by writing a letter to let them know that you care for them
and you are praying for them. Call the Family Community Church office at (916) 334-7700
x10 to find out what missionaries you can write to and how you can reach them.
How much scripture can you quote? Keep your mind sharp by memorizing what God says
about missions. Click here
to download a printable Missions Memory Verses card. This card prints on half of
a 8.5" x 11" page.
Recycling cans and bottles is a GREAT way to raise money for missions. In 2007,
Family Community Church raised $2,100 in cans and bottles alone.
Missions trips take a lot of planning ahead. Start planning ahead now for the trip
you want to take. Think about airfare, lodging and food, clothes and supplies. And
make sure you have a working passport!
