The missions of FCFT are part of our family, an organic outgrowth of who we are. Many of our mission projects are carried out by the people of FCFT. We are a local church full of ministers. We also support ministries with whom we have personal relationship. We see their pain as our pain and their victories as our victories. Some of the missions of FCFT include:

Faith Christian Fellowship International. (http://www.fcf.org) FCF provides our spiritual accountability. We support them financially and with our support in projects throughout the year. Founded in 1977 by Buddy and Pat Harrison, FCF is an organization of churches and ministries, called of God, that is a family within the family of God. Its purpose is to be a helping hand, to advise, support, encourage and strengthen one another through relationship and fellowship.

Ministerio la Palabra, Vicente and Ana Shields, Panama City, Panama. Pastor Vicente Shields leads the congregation of Ministerio la Palabra in Panama City. He joined with Pastor Virgil in 2002 to begin reaching Instituto de Entrenamiento Ministerial de Fe (FMTI in Spanish) as part of training ministers in his church. They experienced such success that he now oversees the expansion of the program to other churches. They work together each year to host a minister’s seminar teaching upper-level FMTI courses to pastors and church leaders.

Faith Ministry Training Institute (Instituto de Entrenamiento Ministerial de Fe). This incredibly effective training program has led to many wonderful opportunities to assist other churches in other places. Abundant Heart Ministries, the mission department of FCF Tucson, has planted the program as seed in Honduras, Chile, Panama, Mexico, and Native churches in the states. The Mexico City outreach has completed 3 years of classes and has led to a wonderful ongoing relationship with FCF of Mexico and Pastor Roberto Milián. This field promises to bear fruit for years to come. We also participate in annual congresos for pastors and continue teaching upper-level FMTI courses there.

FMTI Prison Correspondence. We send correspondence classes to any inmate in the United States. All we need is a mailing address. The material is an expanded version of the course outlines from FMTI classes. The homework for the classes is evaluated by one of our FMTI trained correspondence ministers, and a correspondence relationship is established. If the inmate demonstrates a willing heart, we provide him/her with a study Bible to use in completing the course work. We believe that the Word never returns void. If we can influence an inmate to read and study the Bible, we have given him/her a chance at victory in Christ. If you know an inmate who could benefit from this opportunity, e-mail the contact information along with your name to jailmail@fcftucson.org or send it to:
