The Community House at the FMC Video
Check out this video to see how God has been guiding every step from the prayers for the Blessed Sacrament campus to be repurposed for ministry to the renovations and the many volunteers who made it possible to the opening of the Community House doors to short term missions teams, interns and those seeking to live in Christian community. Here we see InterVarsity students enjoying food in the Community House kitchen during our very first short term mission team hosting.
Praise God for He is good!
