✨ Thursday Throwback ✨
Today we’re looking back at the moments that shaped us, strengthened us, and reminded us of God’s faithfulness. 🙌
From worship to community outreach, every step has been a testimony of His grace.
Here’s to remembering where we’ve been—and trusting God for where we’re going.

🌿 Wednesday Wisdom

“Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually.” — 1 Chronicles 16:11

Midweek reminder: Strength is found not in striving, but in staying close to Him.

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14

Sometimes wisdom is choosing stillness over worry.

✨ Tuesday Testimony ✨

Every week, we’re reminded of this truth: God meets us in our mess and leads us toward hope.
At First Contact Ministries, we see lives renewed, families restored, and hearts strengthened through the power of Christ and the courage of those willing to take the first step.

If you’re struggling today, remember — you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Hope has a name, and His grace is still changing lives.

We’re here for you.

🌅 Monday Motivation

As a new week begins, remember this: every encounter is an opportunity to reflect Christ’s love, and every challenge is a chance to trust Him deeper.

🙏 Verse for Today:
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." — Matthew 5:16

✨ This Week’s Encouragement:

Start with purpose. God has already gone before you into this week.

Serve with compassion. Your kindness may be someone’s first contact with hope today.

Walk in strength. You are equipped for every task God places in your path.

Stay expectant. Miracles often begin with small steps of obedience.

🔥 Your Monday Ministry Challenge:
Touch one life today — with a prayer, a word, or an act of compassion. Heaven moves through simple moments.

🌅 Monday Motivation

Every new week is a reminder of God’s grace—another chance to rise, rebuild, and walk in the freedom He’s already promised you.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.” — Psalm 28:7

No matter what last week looked like…
No matter how heavy the battle…
No matter how tired your spirit feels…

Today is a fresh start.

🎯 Choose one step forward.
🕊️ Choose hope over fear.
💪 Choose to believe that God is working, even in what you can’t see.

You are not alone.
You are not forgotten.
And you are stronger than you think—because Christ is strong in you.

Let’s step into this week with courage and expectation. God is moving at First Contact Ministries!
