| On
a mission trip in the early 1990’s, Dennis and Denise
Capra felt like God was giving them a new assignment. A revelation
of God’s grace as it was revealed to the apostle Paul burned
in their hearts, and they knew that God was calling them to be
somehow involved with missions. For the next two years, they
sought God’s mind and His specific direction. Finally,
they knew that God had called them to pastor a church and train
leaders.
This calling was confirmed with a series of supernatural happenings.
So,
in March of 1994, Faith Ministries World Outreach Center began
meeting in a local junior high school on Saturday nights. Shortly
thereafter, more intense
leadership training began with the implementation of Andrew Wommack’s
correspondence Bible college and FMWOC’s own practical ministry labs.
Over
the next six years, FMWOC moved from that junior high cafeteria to a Super
8 Motel banquet room, a remodeled office space, and finally its own
current ministry
training center. Through it all, God has been faithful to bring together
people from many different nations, ethnic groups, and walks of life to
help build FMWOC
into the church it is today.
Looking
back on more than ten years of ministry, God’s calling to train
and lead teams to other nations has developed in an awesome way. FMWOC
truly is a church that supports missions through training,
financial support, and short-term
mission trip opportunities. It is exciting to see what God spoke over FMWOC
come true: “This church will touch this city, but the
strength of this church will be the nations . . . “ |
