Eight Days of Hope general

Eight Days of Hope is a Christian, nonprofit organization that exists to love and serve those in need who are facing natural disaster. As an Outreach Partner of Fellowship Bible Church, we hope to communicate with, equip, and organize church members to be ready to deploy for disaster relief efforts and coordinate seasonal teams to respond to the opportunities associated with the rebuild projects.

On Sunday, February 25, in the Ministry House (in front of the church) Conference Room at 10:45 a.m., there will be a Disaster Relief Interest Meeting. We’ll be discussing an opportunity to serve in Amory, MS during the week of March 9-16. Please join us if you’d like to hear more about Fellowship’s partnership with EDOH and this potential opportunity to serve. 

If you have any questions, please contact Dakota Harp by phone or text at 830-385-5122. You can also find out more about Eight Days of Hope by visiting their website: eightdaysofhope.com.

Lunch Buddies (9 × 5 in) (3)

Fellowship is now partnering with Speegleville Elementary School in Midway ISD in a new mentoring program called "Lunch Buddies". This is an opportunity to invest in children in first through fifth grade, providing reading support and encouragement in a small group setting. Mentors spend 30 minutes with the students during their lunch time, once a week. If you have any questions about Speegleville Lunch Buddies, please email Erin Davis at bedavis@hot.rr.com.

Stars Book Clubs 2023

Volunteer with STARS Book Clubs! Book Clubs are a collaboration of volunteers from more than 30 churches who are loving their neighbors by meeting weekly with Waco ISD elementary children. Mentors read with a small group of students during their lunch and build relationships with them. With as little as 30-minutes once a week, you can build a friendship with kids and give them the crucial support they need to succeed in school and in life!

  • thirty minutes, once a week
  • any weekday
  • any time between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

STARS is currently accepting volunteer applications for 2023-24! For more information, please email Fellowship's STARS liaison, Erin Davis, at bedavis@hot.rr.com, or visit starsbookclubs.com.

Isaiah 117 logos with tagline and trademark

Fellowship is excited to begin a partnership with Isaiah 117 House to assist in their mission to provide physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement. In addition to caring for children, Isaiah 117 House exists to encourage, support, and lighten the load for case workers and foster families. Through lavishly loving on these children just as Christ lavishly loves us, trauma can be reduced and the light of Christ can shine through during these difficult times.

If you would like to know more about Isaiah 117 House, visit their website: https://isaiah117house.com/, or check out their Facebook page for specific information about their ministry in McLennan County: https://www.facebook.com/isaiah117housemclennantx.

Crisis in Ukraine resized

In response to the crisis in Ukraine, here are two opportunities to financially give toward Ukrainian Aid. Both Samaritan's Purse and EFCA's ReachGlobal provide tangible, physical care and support for Ukrainian refugees, while also offering them spiritual encouragement and pointing them to the hope we have in Jesus. As we continue to pray for peace, let's also pray that doors may be opened for the spreading of the gospel.
