Faith Christian Assembly

When women’s ministry leader Linda Hernandez was approached more than 20 years ago to start a women’s ministry at Faith Christian Assembly, she felt it was a perfect fit since she had already formed a women’s group called Touch of Love.

Touch of Love is now FCA’s women’s ministry, where women find purpose, acceptance and prayer. One way women support one another is through having a “prayer pal.” Each month, the pals exchange prayer requests, and as a result, each woman knows that someone who cares about her is lifting her up in prayer. The cards, texts and calls that are exchanged are a great blessing to each person.

About 10 years ago, the women expanded into outreach, starting with a small ceramic bank and a request for all to bring change. The Lord brought so much change they were able to buy blankets, and combined with stuffed toys that were brought in, a donation was made to the SB police to give as comfort to children in crisis. From there, the Precious Promises Projects was born. Where there is a need, the women respond. The group has supported Orange County Rescue Mission and Village of Hope. Hundreds of handmade scarves are also given to others to share the love of Jesus. Together with the church, countless youth have been sponsored to attend the Grace OC Youth Camp. Women interested in joining can come to the next meeting on Thursday, Feb. 17, at 1 p.m. in the Garden Room.

Sunday morning service is at 10:30, and the evening celebration is at 5:30. The Sunday pre-service prayer is at 5 p.m. Wednesday morning Bible Study, taught by Pastor Sheri Leming, is at 11.
