Dear Beulah Family,
As we step into 2025, I invite you to join me on a journey of faith, obedience, and transformation as we seek to fulfill the vision God has entrusted to us: Growing With One Another. This vision, rooted in Ephesians 4:15-16, calls us to grow together as a united body of Christ, centering on Him, connecting with one another, and contributing our gifts to God’s kingdom.
I feverently believe this is God’s call for Beulah. A call to go deeper in our faith, stronger in our unity, and bolder in our service. Together, we are building something extraordinary: a church that reflects the heart of Christ in everything we do.
From January 19 to February 8, I am asking each of you to join me in a 21-day corporate fast. This is a time to humble ourselves before God, to seek His presence, and to align our hearts with His purpose for our lives and Beulah First Baptist.
During this time of Fasting & Praying, we will focus on three key areas:
-CENTER —Aligning our hearts & lives with God, putting God first in everything.
-CONNECT — Building deeper relationships with one another & community.
-CONTRIBUTE —Using our time, talents, & treasure to advance God’s kingdom.
This is also a time to fast and pray for the Brooks Project, asking for God’s wisdom and provision as we work to make this a beacon of hope and opportunity for our community. I truly believe that as we seek God together, He will give us clarity, strength, and unity to bring this vision to life.
As we fast and pray, I encourage you to reflect on the areas of your own life where you need breakthrough, healing, or renewal. Let this journey be personal and transformative. Let it be a time to draw closer to God, to hear His voice, and to receive His guidance for your life.
BFB, I believe that God is calling us to even greater things in 2025. This fast is about growing, surrendering, and trusting God to do what only God can do. I am excited about what He has in store for us, and I know that together, as we seek Him, He will do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine. I invite you to join me as we embark on this journey to fulfill the vision God has given for our church.
In love and in service,
Rev. Felix L. Cole
Senior Pastor/Teacher, Beulah First Baptist Church
