A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Men, as we go throughout the year of 2026, let’s keep our focus on God. So many things are happening in the world today to worry us that we can forget God has always been in control and will always be in control. Rather than worrying, let’s focus on learning his will for us as individuals and as a group and focus on living out our purpose. Pray that as a group, Men for Christ glorifies God in everything we do. Let’s keep in front of us the MFC stated mission "To promote Christian Fellowship and the strengthening and establishment of churches after the New Testament pattern.” We had some great opportunities in 2025. We assisted Church’s and Camps with flood damage cost, we assisted the Russell Cave Church with their significant building repairs cost, we assisted Foothills Christian Church with their financial needs of a start-up, along with our ongoing support of several other efforts. Let’s pray that we continue to make positive impacts in 2026 with spreading the Gospel. Please continue to promote MFC in your churches as we look forward to a great year of attendance, fellowship, and the strengthening of God’s Kingdom. –Trinity Searcy, 2026 Chairman

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU
As Christians, with a New Year beginning, let’s take a moment to reflect on our faith and God’s love. Let’s remind ourselves to trust in God’s plan, embrace each new opportunity and find strength in our faith. This will serve as a source of comfort and inspiration as we navigate the uncertainties of each new day.

In doing so let’s focus on the Great Commandment this year. As we’re reminded in Mark 12:30-31 30 “ And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (NKJV)

So, how can we LOVE God as he has commanded us? Let’s commit to spending more time in God’s Word this year to strengthen our hearts, minds, souls and bodies. Remember, 1 John 4:9-11 9” In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (NKJV)

By carrying these reminders with us this year we will be more able to achieve our MFC mission statement “To promote Christian Fellowship and the strengthening and establishment of churches after the New Testament pattern.” So, let’s hold one another up through prayer and by encouraging each other to continue to strive to reach our goal of helping others to know Christ

NEW YEAR'S PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, we’re here stepping into the New Year with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. We don’t know what’s ahead, but we do know You are with us, and that’s enough. Help us to not dwell in the past, but to focus on what You are doing now. Help us to move forward, trusting You every step of the way. Whatever challenges come, help us to face them with courage, knowing You’re in control. This year, we ask for Your guidance. We trust in Your plan for us. Thank You for always being with us. In Jesus Holy name, I pray. Amen.
