H Y F h H?By Gary L. Jaehnel, Facilities Manager
Have you noticed the auditorium eeling warmer the past ew
weeks compared to earlier this winter? How about the classroom
in the 1987 building? Theres a reason or that. Ater 21 years
o service, several key pieces o heating equipment that provide
heat to the 1987 building ailed.
Replacement parts have recently
been installed.
The good news doesnt endthere. Weve also advanced the
technology o our heating plan
control systems by a quarter-
century. A new, state-o-the-ar
computer control system
now operates our boilers and
other steam plant equipment
completely automatically or
the rst time ever. This not
only makes us more comort-
able, but it signicantly lowers
energy costs, reduces maintenance requirements, plus extends
the lie o the equipment. Beore beginning this project, we
researched it thoroughly to ensure that we were being good
stewards o our nances.
Here are the key nancial acts that persuaded us to proceed:
Purchase & Installation Costs ............. .............. ...... $18,000
Rebate rom MidAmerican Energy .............. ............. $7,600
Out o Pocket Expense ............. .............. .............. .... $10,400
Projected Energy Savings ............ $5,000$10,000 per year
Your regular giving to the
General Fund allows us to
take on projects like this. We
encourage your continued aith-ulness in your regular giving
so that we can continue with
other needed acility repair and
improvement projects.
k Gd icBy Joe Lightoot, Pastor o Adult Ministries
For those who have placed their trust in Jesus or eternal lie,
the Bible provides instructions on how to live out this new lie.
Making choices that have their oundation based on a spiritual
lie is easier said than done. Many realized this last Sunday in
examining the words in Romans, chapter 8, verse 15.
This verse tells us that as believers in Jesus, we are adoptedinto a new amily. We are sons and daughters o the King o
Creation. It is important to grasp this act as it provides the core
o so much o our spiritual lives. This is what l iving a lie that
isBiblically Measuredis all about. It takes work to understand
these truths and make use o them on our spiritual journey.
This came to mind as I read a review o John Izzos book,
The Five Secrets You Must Discover Beore You Die. The
Des Moines Register carried an article about the book, noting
that the author interviewed two Iowans in his research. I encour-
age you to examine Izzos Five Secrets and use your Bible to
Biblically Measure his positions.
Secret #1: Be true to yourself. The author says you should
have the discipline to listen to your heart to nd out what makesyou happy and the courage to ollow that path and make it a
priority. Examine how God contrasts Izzos secret in Genesis 6:5
and Matthew 16:24.
Secret #2: Leave No Regrets. Izzo teaches that when aced
with a decision, you should think o yoursel as an old woman
sitting in a rocking chair near the end o lie and ask yoursel:
What decision do I wish I had made? At the end o lie you wont
regret risks you took. Measure this secret against Philippians 4:6;
Ephesians 5:1; and 1 Peter 2:21.
Secret #3: Become Love. The author claims that people who
become love look at love as a choice rather than an emotion.
Choose to become a loving person by loving yoursel, eliminat-
ing sel-critical thoughts and then making loving relationshipswith others a priority by not being critical. Refect on these
instructions in Matthew 22:39 and Ephesians 4:32.
Secret #4: Live the Moment. Izzo claims it is important to
live ully in each moment, not looking back or orward or judging
each moment, but being alive in each moment with gratitude.
Consider this biblical measurement in Colossians 3:1-4.
Secret #5: Give More Than You Take. Last, Izzo encour-
ages you to nd a connection with others that is outside yoursel,
not ocusing on nding personal happiness, love, ame and
ortune, but in acts that improve the lives o others. Explore these
commands in Romans 12:10; Philippians 2:3; and, Acts 20:35.

wh, oh wh i ngd?By John Porter, Director o Missions and Local Outreach
Nagaland is a mountainous state in northwest India bordering
Myanmar, with the highest percentage o Baptists o any state in
the world. In 1875 an American Baptist missionary went there andsaw the gospel and the English language spread throughout the
country in 15 years. Our new national pastor is rom Nagaland and
working in an unreached people group in the Garhwal Himalaya
area. In the 3 years he has been there he has established an English
medium school with
over 90 children and
still growing. He
also completed an
extensive survey o
the 126 villages in
the area which has
a population over
50,000 and is 99% Hindu.Please pray or our national pastor
T. Merang and his wie Anungla
as they teach at the school, lead
Bible studies and reach out to these
people that God loves. We hope to
start a pen pal program, so that FFC
children can write or email the students in the school, and also
help in possible building projects in the uture. How can the Lord
use FFC to make a dierence in this remote area o India?
wh Daily Family Prayer Guide?Each month a prayer guide is printed to help
YOU pray more eectively or our missionariesand their needs. Jean Crabbs, with the help o a
group o volunteers, reads through piles o mail
and writes current and urgent prayer requests
rom those we support. These can be picked up
in the literature racks throughout the church, put
into your Bible, and added to your daily prayer
time. What a GREAT way to get to know our
missionaries and become a part o ministries in
Des Moines and around the world!

w Y D 2 sh?Dare 2 Share was.I went back and told
the teens that I had a
big announcement. I shared with them the vision God placed
on my heart and, slowly but surely, the tickets began to sell. A
couple months into the process we had 710 o the tickets sold
and I wondered i I was overzealous. But then, suddenly the
tickets started disappearing and beore I knew it all 50 tickets
were sold AND I now have a waiting list because the Pershing
Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, where Dare 2 Share will be held, is
sold to capacity. We have 50 very excited teens and chaperones
and I pray that this will only enhance the ongoing renewal and
revival that is slowly growing amongst the teens in our youth
group. This ar ticle is a testimony o Gods goodness to ll those
spots and we will wait on Him to see what He does in each o
our lives. For more inormation about Dare 2 Share, please visit
www.dare2share.org. This is a great resource or learning to
use culture to share your aith. It also has links on how to share
your aith with most other religious belies. Utilize this website
to equip yourselves to share your aith as God gives you daily
appointments to evangelize.
BE EVANGELISTICALLY BOLDDARE 2 SHARE!
By Michael Howland, Youth PastorIn my years o youth ministry prior to being at
FFC, I have enjoyed taking my teens to the Dare
2 Share conerence. This conerence teaches the
teens an easy way to share their aith and provides
the teens with the opportunity to do that in the
community during the conerence itsel. There are
excellent speakers, worship leaders, and the teens are challenged
to get back to a Biblical worldview and to live as salt and light
in this dark world. The teens are also challenged to become
leaders in their own youth group and to serve as God has gited
them. This conerence has been invaluable, but every year a trend
seems to happen. I have promoted the conerence every year, and
a small percentage o the teens go, get red up or Christ, and
then come back to share their enthusiasm with their youth group
who did not get the same opportunity to catch all the excitement.
So this year, now that I am at FFC, I really elt God impress-
ing on me to take a step o aith. At a meeting to promote Dare
2 Share I elt led to get the core o our youth group, our regular
attendees, to all go. Rather than the traditional 20 30 tickets I
elt God asking me to pre-purchase 50 tickets. This was 6 months
beore the event would take place and beore any teen knew what

P Y amLook how our suit o armor is
increasing! Last Sunday the K-2nd
graders in KZ Church added the Shield
o Faith. Ephesians 6:16 says, In ad-
dition to all this, take up the shield o
aith, with which you can extinguish allthe faming arrows o the evil one.
The children learned that the shields
o old times were not made o metal,
but rather o wood covered by animal
skin. A good soldier knew that he must
take care o his shield each day by applying oil to the animal
skin to keep it moist. Then, when the enemy shot arrows which
had been set on re, the soldiers shield would remain strong and
keep him protected.
A Christians shield o protection is aith, which means
believing in God even though we cant see Him and trusting that
He will do what He says. With a strong shield o aith, we can
extinguish Satans ery darts o worry, ear and doubt.
Are you caring or your shield o aith each day by praying
and reading Gods Word?
Remember to Put on the ull armor o God so that you can
take your stand against the devils schemes.
