| Missions: Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship | |||
|
|||
| Once a month, our congregation is invited to drop loose change they have collected at home to the big plastic jars marked PFF or Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship. What is PFF? It is not an adventure club headed for places uncharted, though sometimes missionaries do have such great adventures in following where God opens doors (i.e. ways to reach people who have no Christian fellowship witness in their own culture). PFF is part of the Missions arm of the Presbyterian Church USA...our denomination. The plan of contributing loose change was adapted from a custom among such people as the tribal Christians in Burma (now known as Myanmar). As the mother in each family prepares meals for her family, she sets aside a handful of rice in a special container, and prays for their church’s missionaries to unreached people groups. We substitute pocket change in place of rice as a reasonable adaptation to our culture. The aims of PFF, from their website PFF.net are as follows: Quote: For Every People: An Indigenous Church An integral part of the Frontier Fellowship effort is the use of the monthly booklet called the Global Prayer Digest. There is a short story or description of a specific unreached people group for every day of the month, with a prayer that can be used by an individual or a family as a pattern in praying for people who have not yet heard of the Savior from their sin: our Lord Jesus Christ. If you would like to subscribe to this informative little magazine, you may do so by accessing the website at www.global-prayer-digest.org or asking one of the Missions Commission members. |
