 Hello CRBA Family,My name is David Turbeville. I am the pastor of Set Free Christian Fellowship. We launched on September 10, 2023. Thank you for your help and support. As you know, our mission is to reach men and women who are on probation and parole, men and women who have a criminal background and don’t feel comfortable in a “traditional church setting”, their families, and men and women who are on the sex-offender registry, Recently, we raised $1,641 for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Our goal was $200. God blew that out of the water. We delivered 4 Blessing Boxes to families. These boxes contained one turkey, canned vegetables, a desert and hygiene items. We helped one man get to an alcohol rehab facility that accepts sex offenders. We have new people visit nearly every Sunday. We had a young couple join on Sunday, January 14. We are averaging 13 for worship. Bruce McCrary teaches our Sunday school class for us. Fuet Hang leads our worship. Jim Delany leads our addictions class on Wednesday nights. We have weekly visitation. In February, we will be adding Discipleship classes. We are working hard to reach people for Christ. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we reach the people that God has called to serve. We are blessed to be in such an active association. God Bless, David Turbeville, Pastor Set Free Christian Fellowship Local Mission Opportunities *These opportunities will be listed for 1 month in our newsletter.
