News From The Field West Palm Beach Craig, here is a picture from the picnic that the palm beach guys had for firefighters in there area. A few of them are FCF members and they do have a weekly bible study called 'men on fire', but they don't have a formal chapter anymore. Tried to encourage them to do so. Prayer Team My name is Gerald Brock. Craig asked for some help with the Fellowship of Christian Firefighter Prayer team and after some consideration and prayer about it I told him that I would help with it. I got the Prayer Chain address set up on my computer and I try to check it each day. I enjoy doing this and I feel that this is a way that I can do Mission Work for the Fire Service. If anyone would like to contact me, my Email account is chaplainbrock@gmail.com. Thank You and God Bless You! Gerald Brock First Responder Service Grace Bible Church in Sun its, Arizona recently held a first responder appreciation service during the Memorial Day weekend. Over 600 folks attended the service where first responders were thanked for their service to the FCFInternational/Encourager/Page 4 community. President/Missionary Craig Duck was on hand to challenge those who attended to be prepared when they find themselves in a defining moment. Note: If you would like Craig to come and speak at an event you are planning please contact the International Office for details. National Day of Prayer Craig and Holly Duck represented FCFInternational at the annual National Day of Prayer event at the US Capitol. More than ever our country needs the prayers of righteous people and what a blessing to be a small part of this event. Please also be in prayer for our beloved fire service as many go through life without the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. James 5:16 reminds us to; “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (NIV) Treasure Coast We are continuing to have our fellowship breakfasts with our next one being July 9th. I was blessed to share with several firefighters in Virginia Beach as I was a guest speaker for their mens breakfast at London Bridge Baptist Church. I was also able to encourage some of our FCF members who are part of a bible study group in West Palm Beach, Florida. They had a well attended picnic last month and I shared a little bit about our Treasure Coast Chapter in hopes that they will re-establish a chapter in the West Palm Beach area. Locally our chapter was also represented at our community's National Day of Prayer event in fort Pierce, Florida. Blessings Tommy Neiman Western Pennsylvania Chaplain David Williamson with the Federation of Fire Chaplains conducted their annual chaplains conference with over 100 participants. FCFInternational was asked to participate and talk about our ministry to firefighters and first responders. What a blessing to be a part of this ministry and encourage chaplains to start local groups that will help them in their service to the community. A local group will help provide additional resources during times of need for chaplains and help to lighten their load. Thanks Chaplain Dave for the opportunity.

Jesus is the only way to enter Heaven and be forever with God (John 14:6) When I was 8 years old I was hit by a car and spent 44 days in the hospital. I thank God that many people Prayed for me. I thank God that I was able to finish High School. and get a job with the State of South Carolina. I began h e l p i n g t h e l o c a l F i r e Department at age 14 and a few years later we began a chapter of Fellowship of Christian Firefighters. I thank God that I am still able to serve Him to tell others about the love of Christ. Thank God for giving me this mission and I guess that we will be able to say that it is finished when we are called to our Heavenly Home. I also told Craig that I w o u l d H e l p w i t h t h e F e l l o w s h i p o f C h r i s t i a n Firefighter Prayer Chain. Thank You and God Bless You!
