FCWC offers serveral ministries, including a nursery (ages 0 to 4), Truth Seekers (ages 5 to 12), and Frontline Youth ministry, (ages 12 to 25), Men’s Min- istry, Women’s Minis- try and the GOTCHA! Ministry. GOTCHA! is an out- reach ministry by FCWC geared towards showing people the love of God through ran- dom acts of kindness; paying for someone else’s meal, mowing their lawn, or wash- ing a neighbor’s car, and then giving them a GOTCHA! card are all ways the ministry can be used to touch the lives of neighbors in Acadiana. Pastor Heather Ar- doin said, “As Pastors, we are often faced with the misunderstanding
that the way we live for God comes easily and without cost because we have already done it. This is not the case for most people and it is certainly not the case for us. “We want you to know that we don’t serve God as radically as we do be- cause we always knew who God was; we serve Him like this because at the lowest point in our lives He proved to us who He was. At that time in our lives, our marriage had fallen apart, we didn’t have a dime to our names, I was battling depres- sion, my husband was addicted to drugs and alcohol and my daugh- ter was deathly ill, the devil had us just where he wanted us; alone and overwhelmed.” “We didn’t know what we needed, we just knew we needed a mir- acle and we needed one yesterday. God brought
people into our lives that KNEW Him and not just knew about Him. They understood His love, grace, mercy and POWER. They had the answer we needed and that answer was JESUS!. Since that time God has restored our marriage, healed our daughter, healed our emotions, brought complete freedom into my life as well as my
husband’s and taken us from a place of poverty and lack into a place of supernatural blessing,” she continued. FCWC extends a spe- cial invitation to any- one who feels they need to be connected with people who know and understand the love, grace, mercy and pow- er of God.
