Fruitbelt Farmworker Christian Ministry FFCM

Fruitbelt Farmworker Christian Ministry FFCM The Fruitbelt Farmworkers' Christian Ministry is a ministry in partnership with the PA Council of Churches.

Under the direction of Pastor Christian Aguilar this ministry group cares for migrant workers in the fruit industry to provide emergency and spiritual care, health kits, warm clothing, blankets, fellowship and other needs as they arise. The ministry is administrated by a board of directors that works to oversee, participate in a hands-on fashion, educate, support and fund Christian outreach to our

neighbors who come into our communities to work seasonally. Much of our economy depends upon the fruit industry and is dependent upon the skill, willingness and dedication of the farmworkers. In gratitude for their work, and according to Christ's command, we intentionally seek to build relationships with the workers and their families through:
*emergency help
*spiritual care
*gifts such as health kits, warm clothing, blankets and bibles
*fellowship and welcome
*other needs as they arise

Specifically the Director, Pastor Rod Runyan, and others make regular visits to the camps located at the orchards during the harvest season. The ministry encourages local congregations to become involved in relationship with the farmworkers through their "Friend-A-Camp" program where congregation members visit camps and workers to deliver gifts, share a meal, worship, play games, etc. Throughout the year the board, the PA Council of Churches and supporting congregations work to raise monies to support the cost of the ministry. Two primary fundraisers each year are:
*Fruitbasket sales around Christmastime
*A banquet and silent auction in the Spring

Many times it is just sharing the table or bringing a soccer ball. Yesterday the rain was bad until we arrived at the camp, we had many reasons to not come, but we really need one reason to be there and that reason is the love of Jesus Christ in us.
