Local Mission Opportunities

Milwaukee Rescue Mission

Every Tuesday

, groups from FIL help serve meals to men, women and children that come looking for help. We travel as a group from FIL, leaving at 3pm, returning by 6:30 pm. You may be called upon to serve the main meal, desserts, and occasionally help in the kitchen. Close-toes shoes, conservative dress and a willingness to selflessly serve are the only requirements!

Saukville Community Food Pantry

The Saukville Community Food Pantry was started with several religious and community organizations to fill a need for food in Ozaukee County. Assistance is needed on distribution days, stocking and organizing the pantry and delivering donated food collected at FIL and ROL to the pantry.

A Place of Refuge

Refuge House is truly “a place of refuge” where women and children who have no place to reside as they prepare for the birth of their babies. The live-in houseparent provides a loving and caring family atmosphere where moms can learn parenting and life-skills, further their education and acquire job skills. Most importantly, the mothers have the opportunity for regular Bible study, prayer and worship so they can grow in their walk with the Lord. Many opportunities are available at the home and the Blessed Again Resale Store that supports this ministry.

Adopt A Highway

Three times per year a team of 8-12 people from First Immanuel walk the edge of Wauwatosa Rd. between Pioneer Rd. and Western Rd. to clean up refuse. Time commitment is for approx. 3.5 hours and you will help keep Cedarburg the beautiful town that it is!

Ghana

rst Immanuel hosted a short-term mission to Ghana January 9 – 20, 2017. This was the third time we have visited this wonderful country to work side by side with Pastor Solomono Salam Ayagri, his family, and other church workers to reach more Ghanaians with the saving message of Jesus Christ. Our work included Gospel outreach to children and adults, malaria net distribution to remote villages, and some light construction work.

WHAT’S BEHIND THE DOOR?

As we follow Jesus, we have opportunities to walk away or walk by

faith. We can confess with the Psalmist, “I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell

in the tents of wickedness” (Ps. 84:10), or we can turn aside to open doors of darkness and evil. We know what’s behind the door of darkness–death. And we know what’s behind the door of faith–true life.

Week 1: The Door of Doubt

Week 2: The Door of Jealousy

Week 3: The Door of Deceit

Week 4: The Door of Unfairness

Week 5: The Door of Desire

Week 6: The Door of Death
