FAIRFIELD ON MISSION
Fairfield On Mission Update (12/8/23)
I had shared previously that the months of 2023 were to be dedicated to prayer: our desire is to position ourselves in a posture of prayer and humility as we seek His leading. What’s the next step then? At the beginning of 2024 we will form a MISSIONS TEAM of 4-6 individuals to be a nucleus that guides us in Fairfield’s missions emphasis. They will be tasked with clarifying our next action steps, providing direction and a unified vision for being on mission with God.
During VISION 2024 (Saturday, January 27) we will hold a meeting to begin taking steps going forward with a Missions Team. Might being a part of this team be something God is laying on your heart? If so, please connect with me (Pastor Ryan) as soon as possible. I would like to form the team prior to Vision 2024.
I fully realize this can be a busy and chaotic time of year. Even so, may we keep what God is leading us into in front of us with “open hands”. May we continue to be prayerful and humble, seeking after the Lord’s leading.

Fairfield On Mission Update (11/7/23)

At the beginning of 2024 we will form a Missions Team of 4-6 individuals to be a nucleus that guides us in Fairfield’s missions emphasis. They will be tasked with clarifying our next action steps, providing direction and a unified vision for being on mission with God. With this in mind, I encourage you to continue to pray for the things we have previously listed, but now specifically for the development of this team and who God would be drawing to be a part of it. If you feel God laying this on your heart, please don’t hesitate to connect with Pastor Ryan.
Paul tells us to pray continually, never ceasing to seek God’s wisdom and direction. May we be faithful prayer warriors and follow where He leads us!

Right now we are seeking God’s heart, to follow His direction in an attitude of humility and a posture of prayer. Would you commit to praying with us? On the pdf outline there is a list of things to be praying for as we seek direction from the Holy Spirit. There is also some “homework” listed on the attached outline.
Moving Forward…
I find myself praying, “God, not my will, but Yours.” I don’t want to push my own agenda, but seek after God’s direction, for His Kingdom purposes and His glory. That’s really the beginning step: pausing to listen to His voice and trust His leading. Can we all be praying in this same spirit? As we individually and collectively pray, may God bring unity among us, a cooperative spirit, and a clarity of purpose and direction.
Continue to Pray...
For the rest of 2023 (just over 3 months, really) let us continue to pray: Pray individually (in your own times of prayer) and collectively (planned corporate times of prayer). Understand, coming together to pray is no small thing! In fact it is the vital spiritual work that positions ourselves in an attitude of humility and a posture that says, “wherever you lead, we will follow.”
Coming Together...
During this time we will gather corporately – all who are able and available – once a month, simply to pray and lay the spiritual groundwork for how God would lead us going forward. We will gather for prayer on the following dates:
October 22
November 12
December 10
I realize this may not work for some. Please let me know if that’s the case for you. We may provide some prayer group opportunities on Sunday mornings if this impacts enough people.
