The
heart and soul of the craftsmen for Christ ministry can be summed up
like this,
"Meeting others needs with the love of Christ". Since the
very first project in 1990 CFC has been committed to using Gods resources
of skills, materials, talents, food, and hearts that are willing to
serve to meet the needs of others. Our primary work focuses on the physical
needs of widows, the elderly, the disabled, and the fatherless. We construct
wheel chair ramps, repair leaks, install HVAC equipment, repair roofs,
repair fences, install grab bars, repair autos, and various other tasks
when deemed necessary. CFC has 12 chapters in three states, that are
represented by nine different churches. CFC is a 501 3-c Federal Non-profit
agency that was incorporated in 1997.
CFC receives requests
daily and of course not all of the needs can be meet, but each request
is prayed
for. A site visit will take place and it as this time the CFC volunteers
will access and prioritize the needs. After much prayer CFC matches
our resources to the need, and when all of the resources of skills,
materials and the time to do the work are provided CFC begins the work.
Each project begins and ends with prayer. It is during this prayer time
that real fruit of our labor is produced. Our desire is to build lasting
relationships with the people that we help.
Our
desire tokeep these relationships alive has been maintained by our Food
Ministry. CFCreceives and redistributes more than 200 semi loads of
foodannually. Food Ministry In 1997 CFC teamed
up with Operation Blessing and began receiving largequantities of food
and house hold items. These items were first used to helpthose who were
recovering from the floods in Northern California. With the help of
a health care grant and North
Valley Calvary Chapel, CFC constructed it's own Warehouse / Office
in Yuba City California, on the property of North Valley Calvary Chapel.
This facility has become the nervecenter of the CFC ministry
CF
meets weekly for mens fellowship and prayer.
Each
chapter takes on a little different personality but the heartbeat of
the ministry is the same.
