FCCI AREA LEADERS ARE "READY TO GROW!"
| 30 60 100 MINISTRIES facilitated Fellowship of Companies for Christ International's Area Leader Strategic Planning session in Atlanta, GA on December 11-13.
It's the kind of interactive group collaboration through coaching that allows intact teams, like  FCCI's, to not only understand its identity and destiny ...but also reestablish alignment.
Such was the case with FCCI. "This meeting gave me confirmation that our mission and vision are on target. Our structure, processes, and systems are in place," said one 8-year area leader. "But this meeting was different ... Dalton led with passion and it was clear that other members knew we'd get something done this time. We're in a position to GROW!"

 Feature: MARY'S SONG = YOUR SONG
| A beautiful soprano voice filled the candlelit church with the famed Magnificat (J.S. Bach, 1723). The text from scripture was Mary's prayer of worship as she affirmed her faith while carrying the Christ child.
 | |
"The Visitation" from the Book of the Hours, Jean de Valois
|
He has looked at me with favor ...
The Mighty One has done great things for me ...
His mercy is for those who fear him, from generation to generation.
(Luke 1:48-50, NRSV)
But Mary is not the only favored one!
You are favored. The words, "from generation to generation," are true today. God's mercy extends to all believers, both men and women, through the ages. In other words, Mary's Magnificat of praise is also a prophecy. Men and women from generation to generation have had and will have the blessing of Christ living in them. People like you.
You are Christ's dwelling place. Mary sang this song when she was chosen by God to bear His Son. But it is your song, too ... because Christ's current dwelling place is in you. You have been chosen by God for a special purpose.
Jesus' mother merely gave voice to what is true for all of us. As the first of many who would follow Christ, Mary simply foretold the experience you can share:
- He looks on you with favor.
- He has done great things for you.
- His mercy is on you.
Growth Point God looks on me with favor and has a special purpose for me.
Scripture
Prayer Points
- "Mary is not the only favored one. You are too." In what ways does this truth surprise you? Inspire you?
- Ask God to reveal or confirm to you His special purposes for your life.
- How can you pass along your song of faith to the next generation?
