Fellowship of Christian Paramedics Inc.

I am just sitting here at my computer and was wondring how we can get the news out about the Fellowship of Christian Paramedics Inc more than it is already and how we can let folks know that this group is open to anyone that works in the Emergency Services Field. We are here for the Paramedics, EMT's' Firefighters, Law Enforcement Officers, Nurses, Doctors, PA's, Dispatchers, First Responders. We want them to know that we are here to pray with them and for them and if they just need to have someone to talk to about anything that they are going through then we are here for them.

We are still a very young group, we ahve only been around now for about 3 years and we have gotten about 100 memebrs as of now. We do not charge a membership fee to join the group beacsue I was felt lead by God to opereate the Fellowship off of donations that we get from our memebers. I have faced a lot of trails over this beacsue the donations have not came in and we have been so Blessed by God to allow us to have a tax service that takes care of our books that is ran by Christian people. We have been over 120 days late the last two years on getting them paid at the end of the year for keeping our books and filing our taxes. We received a donation from one of our memebrs to pay the tax bill last year and this year I paid it out of my pocket. I have also been paying the $100 a month donation to K-Love raido station that we committed to for one year,but once this year is up I will have to stop paying that donation becasue I can not afford to pay it out of my pocket.

I want this group to do so much and be able to reach our other brothers and sisters for Christ in this field of work but we are just unable to do that with out more members and most of all the money to be able to get materal and other stuff printed up and being able to travel to confreneces to get the word out  we will not be able to do this. I pray that God will provide and I know He will becasue He always dose. I can understand now how pastors and other church people feel when they have to get up and speak about money becasue it is very hard to do and you make people mad when you do this and you get some very negative comments back from people becasue of have spoken about the need for money.

We have a very small budget and I run the Fellowship of Christian Paramedics Inc out of my home office becasue we have no other means to finiance the Fellowship of Christian Paramedics Inc. I would love to have a office building and meeting rooms so that we could have our meeting at our own building and I would like to have an office staff and fax machines and all the other stuff that other groups have but we are just unable to do this becasue we are so young and very little support, and once again I know that there will be reprocussions for speaking about money. I want to be able to go to the national EMS conferences and FDIC and other places to get the word out about the Fellowship of Christian Paramedics Inc, but these places charge for space to set up and give out information about your group and also it takes money to get this stuff printed up and into the hands of people.

Please keep praying that God will use the Fellowship of Christian Paramedics Inc to reach our Brothers and Sisters in this filed of work for Him. I would also like to ask that you will pray that we always put God First in our lives and everything that we do.

Your Friend in Christ
