Every year, volunteers like you donate several hours of time to help us run our fireworks tent. Your help is so necessary in making this a success. Will you help us make a greater impact in this community?

Below is a form to fill out to tell us when you are available to help. Thanks for making all the difference!

June 21-July 4th marks our 4th Annual TNT Fireworks Fundraiser. As we prepare, there are many needs that could allow us to raise even more money if we can cut our expenses down. Here’s the list so far:

1. A generator (biggest need)
2. gas for the generator (or gas cards)
3. bottled water
4. snacks
5. tarps to cover the fireworks (in case it rains!)
6. garbage bags
7. cotton twine to bunt the sides
8. packing tape
9. razor box cutters (2 or 3)

If you can let use or give us any of these items, it will help tremendously as we prepare for our mission in the fall. Please email us: info@f2fmi.org if you can help in any way. We will also be looking for volunteers soon to help us run the tent. More info soon, so watch this space!

Hey Everyone–

We have an exciting new event that we will be starting this year!  Every month or so, we will be having a home party.   A home party is a get together at someone’s house where we will have the opportunity to further inspire each other to be involved in ministry.  We will also enjoy refreshments and fellowship.  All Christians are called to spread the gospel, and  home parties will serve as a tool in educating people about new ways they can fulfill the great commission.  We don’t necessarily want people to give to us at Faith 2 Faith, so we can do the work ourselves.  Instead, our desire is for the church to see the need for Christ in Connecticut and around the world and inspire them to do something about it!

The first home party of this year will be on Tuesday, February 23rd at 7:00 pm at Tom’s house. Please email me at julie@f2fmi.org if you are interested in attending this upcoming event or if  you would like to open your house to be used for an upcoming home party.

UPDATES: 2/28: March 1 is the last day to register if you are planning to eat with us. It’s absolutely free so if you want in, register ASAP!
2/12: Venue change… see below.

This March, f2fmi and The Lifefaqs Foundation will launch our most aggressive mission in Southeastern Connecticut to date. Touring schools, group homes, youth groups and churches, Twelve24 will bring their message and music to teens throughout our region. Twelve24 will confront issues that teenagers face today by using their message and personal stories to influence the choices that young people are making. Bookings are coming in left and right and we expect to do more than 15 different missions during the week.

However, all this cannot happen without your help! We need to get the band here and the goal is to raise $2,500 for their airfare this month. Will you help us make history in Southeastern Connecticut? Give your gift today of any amount and it will be applied directly to the airfare of the band.

Click HERE to give a 1x gift through the Lifefaqs Foundation (Paypal) and be a part of bringing Twelve24 for their first USA appearance!

You can also send your check by mail and make it payable to:
