Change For Change "Change for Change" is a monthly program designed to provide assistance to our missionaries during critical times and to fund projects aimed at enhancing the worldwide spread of the gospel. November Change for Change The Greatest Journey (Samaritan's Purse) GCC has participated in Operation Christmas Child (OCC) for many years and was recently recognized by Samaritan’s Purse for being a community drop-off center for ten years. This year, we’d like to take that commitment even further. When children receive a shoebox, they are invited to return for a discipleship program called The Greatest Journey. In this program, children learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. As they do, entire families and communities are transformed by the power of the Gospel, and new churches are planted. While the shipping and processing costs are covered with each shoebox donation, The Greatest Journey requires an additional donation and not everyone who packs a shoebox is able to contribute. The November Change for Change offering will go to Samaritan’s Purse to help cover the cost of The Greatest Journey for children around the world. The cost is only $6 per child. We believe everyone, including kids, can take part in this month’s Change for Change offering. Families might consider inviting their children to contribute a portion of their allowance, take on small acts of service, or even brainstorm creative ways to set aside $6 together. However you choose to participate, your gift will help another child begin The Greatest Journey. If you'd like to give, you can donate online by using the link below. You can make a Difference. We invite you to partner with us in standing by our missionaries and demonstrating our unwavering support through this donation opportunity.

Where: Camp Barnabas | Purdy, MO About Camp Barnabas: Camp Barnabas is a ministry in Southwest Missouri dedicated to providing a unique Christian summer camp experience to individuals with special needs, their siblings, and youth from across the United States. It’s a summer full of fishing, canoeing, archery, ziplining, swimming, mini-golf, and so much more. We want our Campers to have a summer just like everyone else because, for most of the year, our Campers are on the outside. They spend their year adapting and making modifications to their lives and routines in order to function in the world around them. At Camp Barnabas, we want our Campers to feel limitless. We want to create a place where they can feel the freedom to be who they were designed to be. When: June 27-July 3, 2026. How much: $350-$400 SIGNUP

Emily Rezek Greater Europe Mission (France) Phone: 800 436 4488 Links: info@gemission.com gemission.org Address: TEAM PO Box 969 Wheaton, IL 60187-0969 Birthday: November 5 Mission Focus Currently the majority of my ministry is at the FEU (Foyer Évangélique Universitaire), a non- denominational Christian association for university students. Here we seek to share the gospel with as many students as possible, as well as to disciple and train believers and to connect them to local churches. A challenge for us is to continue to find creative ways to reach out to the 100,000+ students in Lille! But we’ve seen that the university years are often a time when students are more open spiritually and seeking answers to life’s big questions. Pray for us as we interact with these students, and for their hearts to be receptive to the truth. Testimony My mother first introduced me to Christ and began taking me to church at a young age, where I learned that God created me, loved me, and wanted a relationship with me—but that was impossible because of my sin. The only way to be reconciled to God was through Jesus Christ, God made flesh, who paid my debt on the cross and rose again, defeating sin forever! At age 7, after Vacation Bible School, I made the decision to follow Jesus, and I’ve never regretted it! I know that without Christ in my life, I would be a misguided, self-serving, and unloving sinner. I’ve seen God’s faithfulness to me throughout my life, and every day he continues to teach me new truths about his love and purpose for me. He has given me a new life, and my desire is to use this life to honor him. Previous Mark & Jodi Revell International Field W orker Trainers Next Amy Scott SIM (Serving in Missions)

Outreach Ministry Get involved "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?" ~Jesus Outreach Strategy "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus frequently led out with this question. As we approach our community, we look for areas of felt-need that we can address as a church. Where are we focused? "So that you may know that The Son of Man has the power to forgive sins ..." But He didn't stop there. Jesus always paired His physical blessings with His Spiritual power. We train our members to competently work the message of salvation into daily conversation. Sharing Jesus "...Pick up your bed and walk." The Kingdom is advancing in St. Charles County.

Kyle McEachron International Christian School of Budapest Ifjúság út 11 2049 Diósd, Hungary Phone: +36-20-348-1425 Links: kmceachron@teachbeyond.org www2.teachbeyond.org/support/kyle-mceachron Birthday: Kyle: July 5 Mission Focus I am currently serving as a secondary art and graphic design teacher at the International Christian School of Budapest in Diosd, Hungary, a Christ-centered school that acts as both an affordable school for missions families, locals, and internationals who seek an educational at an international English speaking school. Through fostering students’ love of art and design, I hope to serve the school, the families as well as continue building into the lives of the students God has placed here. I hope to be a part of the school’s vision to create a community of Christ followers, active thinkers, effective communicators, global citizens, and faithful stewards. I am also working to become involved in the community in whatever ways God opens the door for. Testimony I came to know Christ at a young age and grew up in the church, but my faith was largely centered around following the rules and avoiding all the don'ts rather than seeking opportunities to grow and be involved. My faith grew in the last few years of high school and in college thanks to godly leaders and influences in my life, but I still had my own idea for how I wanted my life to go and when those plans didn't pan out, I had to face a harsh reality check. God helped me through it by getting me involved in serving with the youth, studying the Bible through BSF, and getting involved with missions through short term trips to Hungary, reminding me that His plans are better than my own.

Personal Discipleship Where to Begin The process involved in achieving spiritual growth as a Christian can perhaps be accurately described through a simple phrase that is joined with the idea of Me Becoming More Like Jesus. Advancing spiritually in the direction of becoming more conformed to the image of Jesus involves an act of God’s grace that is aimed at our transformation in alignment with His purposes. However, this act of grace is also intended to function in coordination with our will and determined efforts as we engage in a life of surrender and consistent practices that are designed to further the cause of Christ in our lives. These practices are commonly referred to as spiritual disciplines. It may be helpful to consider spiritual disciplines in the context of athletes preparing for the Olympics. These individuals engage in consistent and determined training for many years so that they can be prepared to compete and win in their chosen events. If they fail to prepare properly, it is very likely that they will perform below the level of their hopes and expectations. As Christians, if our win involves increasing conformity to the image of Jesus, there are clearly things we must earnestly practice to achieve that goal. Common Spiritual Disciplines There are very exhaustive lists of spiritual disciplines that have been developed over time. While most of these lists have merit, they can also feel a bit overwhelming to many people as they try to imagine engaging in the breadth of these activities. So, for the purpose of challenging those within our church family to consider a more narrowly focused approach to the practice of spiritual disciplines, we have provided a prioritized list of the disciplines that are most commonly practiced.
