In these few rugged pioneers, we have what we may call the beginning of a struggling church in the midst of a struggling people. Very appropriately, this group of people was named "Luctor", meaning "I struggle". + +These pious and faithful pioneers, in their efforts to win a living from the soil, did not neglect the feeding of their souls, for they were staunch and true Calvinists. At first they held religious services in their various homes, which consisted of sod houses and huts. The church was officially organized on November 12, 1885 - a total of 8 families, 20 communicant members, and 28 members by baptism. Luctor came into existence as a church, having the distinction of being the farthest west in the entire Christian Reformed denomination. It was a small beginning, but the church prospered in spite of crop failures, the Depression, and a devastating fire. + +The first church was an 18' x 38' structure, replaced in 1894 with a 52' x 34' building with a seating capacity of 300. A nine room parsonage was erected in 1906, replaced with the present home in 1965. The church was bursting at the seams in the early twenties and a meeting was called to decide what to do. A devastating fire destroyed the church and school buildings on July 5, 1926, so the members were forced into the decision to construct a new building. The present church building was dedicated in 1927 and has served us well to the present time. + # Our Vision and Mission -- Our vision is to change the world from the heart of America by providing disciple making opportunities that serve communities where student ministries are limited. -- We do that by, connecting teens with the truth of Jesus Christ…teaching and equipping them to live out the Great Commission. +- vision +- mission # Our Team -- [ Brian & Julie Fischer ](/staff/brian-and-julie-fischer) -- [Lavonne Ponstein](/staff/lavonne-ponstein) -- [Janice Lundquist](/staff/janice-lundquist) -- [Lewis & Susan Smith](/staff/lewis-smith) -- [Ethan Rose](/staff/ethan-rose) -- [April & Arnie Teves](/staff/april-teves) -- [Rob & Taffy Lewis](/staff/rob-and-taffy-lewis) -- [Chris & Abbie Cochrun](/staff/chris-and-abbie-cochrun) -- [Billy Cayou](/staff/billy-cayou) -- [Dani Rouse - Intern](/staff/dani-rouse) +[Shawn Richardson](/staff) # Our Statement of Faith There’s no doubt that teens in the United States are in trouble.

Maundy Thursday marks three key events in Jesus' last week: his washing of his disciples' feet, his institution of the Lord's Supper, and his new commandment to love one another. The name "Maundy Thursday" comes from the Latin mandatum novum, referring to the "new commandment" Jesus taught his disciples in John 13:34. +2. Good Friday - it's called "good" because of what Jesus' death means for the redemption of the world. Worship on this day may focus on three aims: to narrate and remember the events of Jesus' death, to open up the meaning of these events for understanding, and to invite worshipers to renewed prayer and dedication. +3. Holy Saturday, or sometimes called "Silent Saturday." Just as Jesus' friends and family spent the Saturday following his crucifixion praying and waiting, we too can use this day as a day of meditation, prayer, and preparation. +4. Easter - "All the hopes and expectations of Christians are realized in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, making Easter the most celebrative day of the church year." +- excerpts taken from The Worship Sourcebook, John D.

Their mission is to confront the foster care epidemic in a Christian way through providing the support and resources needed to empower families to stay together and keep kids out of the foster care system. Our team will be working with the leaders of Miriam’s Hope to help them develop their 20-acre property just outside of Oberlin so they can accomplish their mission. Our work may include helping remodel -residence buildings and/or working on outside projects around the property to help them get the ministry up and running. - -Requirements for this team are a flexible attitude and a willingness to do hands-on labor. For more information about Miriam’s Hope and their current projects, check out their [website](https://miriamshope.com) and their [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Miriams-Hope-462195593976293). - -- Estimated Support Goal of $350-$450 - -### Cary, Mississippi - May 31 - June 12 - Highschool only -This trip is designed for students who have a desire to be used by Jesus to draw others into a relationship with Him and they will be trained to go with the Gospel as His ambassadors. Students will engage with the needs of people living in poverty in the Mississippi Delta as they work in partnership with two ministries: Cary Christian Center in Cary, MS, and Serenity on the Bayou (Emmanuel Community Center) in Anguilla, MS. Both ministries focus on coming alongside people to help break the cycle of poverty through relationships. Working with the Cary Christian Center we will assist them in meeting the physical needs of individuals in Cary and surrounding communities. Projects may involve painting, shingling, minor construction, or serving the needs of the Center itself. The work through "Serenity on the Bayou" will provide opportunities for "face-to-face" involvement with the children of the Delta region. Projects may involve teaching Bible classes, tutoring students with specific educational needs and planning activities for the area's children. Students on this trip will experience the challenges and endurance needed by an apostle to serve as Jesus's ambassadors in a different cultural setting. - -Requirements for this team are a willingness and desire to share the gospel of Jesus verbally, relationally, and through physical work. Here is more information about the [Cary Christian Center](https://carychristiancenter.org) and [Serenity on the Bayou](https://emmanuelcommunitycenter.org). - -- Estimated Support Goal of $900-$1000 - -### Denver, CO/North Platte, NE - June 2-9 - Highschool only -This trip is designed for students who are ready for the challenge of leaving their personal desires behind as they follow Jesus and help meet the needs of others through ministries in the Denver, CO and North Platte, NE areas. Serving options in the Denver area may include working with a ministry that serves low-income families and refugees. For the North Platte, NE portion of the trip we will be working with a couple of ministries that God led us to during last year’s SPLASH 3.0 mission trip. Deborah’s Legacy’s mission is to provide rent-free housing, support, and education opportunities for women faced with homelessness and offer a Christ-centered restoration program for women healing from addiction and crisis living. Homestead Refuge, located in the sandhills near North Platte, was founded by Betty Remus and she is renovating an old farmhouse to provide female victims of sex trafficking with a safe place to heal and learn how to live again. We will be assisting Betty with projects in and around the house as she prepares to fulfill the mission God has given her to bring hope and healing to girls rescued out of the sex trade. - -Requirements for this team will be a flexible attitude, a willingness to do hands-on labor, and a desire to learn how to vocalize your faith by praying for others and telling your personal faith story. Here is more information about [Deborah’s Legacy](https://deborahslegacy.org) and [Homestead Refuge](https://homesteadrefuge.org). - -- Estimated Support Goal of $600-$700 - -## Mission Trip Agreement -> In order to fill out the application, you must agree to the following! - -- I agree to obey all rules and guidelines that TFC Connection and other associated ministries establish, realizing they have my best interest and welfare in mind.

Being a Christian is great, but a lot of the time, teenagers have a sense for authenticity in people. This makes many of them skeptical of things like Christianity and such when they see some people act one way at Church and another way out in the community. Often, this puts a bad taste in the mouths of teens when it comes to Christianity. Our hope and prayer is that we can create leaders out of teens who exemplify integrity instead. One way we do this is through Leadership Retreat! - -Every fall, most people get excited about trees changing colors, falling leaves, sweaters, and pumpkin spice lattes. I get excited about Leadership Retreat. When I was a teen in TFC, Leadership Retreat was this haven of rest and Jesus. I loved it. I loved that I could take a break from school and just enjoy my TFC friends and getting to know Jesus more! For a whole weekend, we ask teens to stop from the busyness of life and come to learn about being a leader. - -This year, we asked them to take that calling VERY seriously! Leaders for Christ are sorely missing in our world, and we wanted to help the teens prepare themselves for what they could face should they begin to truly stand up for Christ. So, we challenged them on being a real leader. One who isn't like those many who lack integrity and clearly aren't authentic about their faith, but instead who put such a central and clear trust in Jesus that no matter the filth that our world might throw at them, they'll be ready! - -We talked a lot about the persecuted church and wanted them to feel ultimately prepared for what may happen in their lifetime. We asked them to care for each other in such a way that even if their world looks more and more like those persecuted Christians, they'll be able to bear the weight of it, with the help of others! Finally, we also wanted them to just be refreshed. Like I said, Leadership Retreat is a place of rest, and we wanted them to still feel that, so we gave them a lot of time to just rest in Jesus's peace and the company of each other, praying that God uses that to ensure they are prepared moving forward. - -# 😲 So. Many. Events. -On top of Leadership Retreat, we had many things going on this month! At the very beginning of the month, we celebrated TFC's 45th year as a ministry! And right after Leadership Retreat, we held another 180 Encounter, our special gatherings of all TFC groups! - -At the 45th, TFC was so incredibly blessed to just celebrate with so many people who've just helped to make TFC what it is! Many alumni and volunteers and staff who have moved on came back to Phillipsburg to see what's been happening in the ministry and just celebrate those memories of how TFC was used by God in big ways in their lives! And oh man it is a blast to sit with friends recalling all the goofy things we did in our years as TFC students! But ultimately, that's all because of Jesus! Jesus created the ministry of TFC and called all these folks together in the first place. Then it's only through Him that we bond in those friendships that have lasted so long. All of it is because of Jesus. - -Then bringing kids together to watch those friendships blossom at our 180 Encounter is just a blast! We brought 6 kids to the 180 this month, and they loved it so much they asked when the next one is before we got home! Keep praying that those friendships will draw more students to Jesus and convince of His great love for them! diff --git a/content/staff/_index.md b/content/staff/_index.md index c76e434..4c7aa72 100644 --- a/content/staff/_index.md +++ b/content/staff/_index.md @@ -1,8 +1,9 @@ --- title: "Staff" date: 2017-03-02T12:00:00-05:00 -featured_image: "img/staff.jpg" +featured_image: "img/shawn-preaching.jpg" groupByYear: false +layout: simple cascade: showWordCount: false showReadingTime: false @@ -13,4 +14,22 @@ cascade: sharingLinks: ['facebook', 'instagram', 'email', 'reddit'] showHero: false --- -Staff are what make TFC happen.
