Full Circle Ministries International
FCMI is a new ministry being birthed in the heart of Madison, WI with a threefold purpose:

1. Caring for the Poor: Including outreach to the homeless, to gothic teens and the throwaways of our society in the heart of Madison where we offer food and friendship. Ministering to the poor in India through a preschool for poor children and (soon) an orphanage and school for the poor. Praying for physical and emotional healing, loving them with Christ’s love at home and abroad.

2. Uniting the Body: Connecting Christians from many congregations locally (protestant and catholic) as we work together, serving the poor and reaching the lost. Seeking to encourage and unite the Body of Christ worldwide developing friendships in the bond of Christ’s love with our brothers and sisters in poorer countries. Laboring to bring revival to the church in Madison and India in culturally appropriate ways. Hosting all day worship/prayer gatherings in neutral public facilities.

3. Reaching the Lost: Giving of ourselves, our gifts, and our resources, loving them to Christ. Establishing a positive image of Christ and Christians as we work united in their midst. Praying with the lost, seeing the Lord touch them through answers to prayer, healing and miracles. Sharing God’s love and grace in Word and deed especially in places where there is no witness of Christ.

FCMI is a team led ministry with an emphasis on relationship centered ministry that is grounded in and built upon Christ’s love and steeped in prayer. We experience Christ as we work with and encourage one another. We find Christ in the lost and the poor (see Matt. 25:31-40).
