Surprise, Fellowship, and Transformation: A Journey with Foundations of Faith Missions International

"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." 
-- Philippians 2:3-4

"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."
-- Proverbs 27:17

Foundations of Faith Missions International (FOFMI) recently embarked on a mission trip to surprise and support two amazing men of God: Pastor Dr. A. Clark and Overseer Dr. A. Robinson. The journey was a heartfelt endeavor led by Apostle Dr. Hoffman and his mission’s team. 
The first stop was in a beautiful city within the heart of Alabama, where Dr. Clark was hosting a Sunday service with a special ceremony to dedicate his new studio. As the FOFMI team entered the sanctuary, they were met with warm smiles, and Pastor Clark, who was in the midst of giving thanks and praise to God, welcomed them with open arms. His genuine joy and welcoming embrace set the tone for a remarkable service filled with powerful testimonies and shared messages of faith.
During the service, several young men bravely shared their personal journeys of transformation, revealing how their lives had been changed through a rehabilitation program. Moved by their testimonies, both Dr. Clark and Dr. Hoffman offered words of encouragement, affirming God's hand in their lives and urging them to stay the course. 
The highlight of the service was Apostle’s sermon titled "Who Broke You?" In this message he delves into a poignant exploration of various ways people experience brokenness: a human can be broken by Satan, God and man breaks hearts, and we can break ourselves by doing things that we know are going to destroy and hurt us by connecting with people we know are going to wreck our lives. His words resonated deeply with the audience, touching many hearts—bringing about a moment of healing, reflection and deliverance for all in attendance. The service concluded with a profound sense of unity and hope, serving a testament to the power of faith and fellowship.
The evening saw the FOFMI team arrive in a town in east-central Alabama for Overseer Dr. Robinson's pastoral appreciation service. Joy and delight were evident in the warm welcome from the congregation and the surprise on Overseer's face as the FOFMI team entered. Apostle shared a moving testimony, honoring Overseer for his impactful mentorship and guidance, which had profoundly influenced Apostle’s own spiritual journey. 
He also acknowledged the profound impact that Overseer had made—not only on his own life, but on the lives of countless others.  He recounted how Overseer’s teachings had shaped his life and helped him raise his own natural children as well as his children in the faith. In a heartfelt moment, Apostle's seven children also sang and shared words of encouragement, expressing their gratitude, celebrating and highlighting Dr. Robinson's legacy, enduring influence and the blessing he has been to so many. His humility and joy was deeply moving and overwhelming.
The visit concluded with heartfelt expressions of gratitude from both pastors and a deep sense of spiritual fulfillment among the FOFMI team. The trip underscored the importance of being placed in the right spiritual environment and the blessings that come from nurturing one's faith and blooming where you’re planted.
This mission trip was more than a journey and a time of joyous reunion; it was a time of heartfelt appreciation and a testament to the power of faith, fellowship, and the importance of honoring those who have paved the way. For the FOFMI team, the trip was a reminder of the rich spiritual heritage they possess and the significance of being rooted in a firm foundation of faith. 
This journey of faith is a powerful reminder that spiritual growth flourishes when nurtured in the right environment. The dedication of the FOFMI team in honoring and supporting these men of God speaks volumes about the importance of sowing seeds of faith, love, and gratitude.
