The saints are warmly invited to participate in the production of care packages for the FTTA trainees this Fall 2025 term!
The Full-Time Training in Anaheim (FTTA) is a two-year post-graduate training program designed to perfect the young saints in the Lord's recovery in the areas of Bible truth, the experience of Christ as life, gospel outreach, and service. A few saints from Atlanta have scheduled a trip to Anaheim to visit the Atlanta-sent trainees on October 10-12. We would like to send them care packages on behalf of the church to supply, strengthen, encourage, and cherish the trainees. These care packages will be of two parts: 1) cards and notes from the saints and 2) gift cards to local shops that are convenient to the trainees.
Notes of Encouragement, Laminated Verses, Ministry Portions, Hymns, Group Photos, etc.
These are the most important parts of the packages and the greatest need. Trainees love to hear from home and get hand-drawn/colored pictures from kids! You can email a message to pineapplesandtwine@gmail.com and we will print it out for you, or you can handwrite a note and relay it to your district point person (see below) by the Lord's Day morning meeting on October 5th. If you would like to include a note to another trainee not listed below, you may also do that. Current Atlanta-sent/related trainees are below.
Gift cards
In addition to encouraging notes, we would also like to include a few gift cards to provide for the practical needs and cherishing of the trainees. If you would like to make a contribution toward these gift cards, you may do so by Lord's Day, October 5th at this link: https://tinyurl.com/fttacp. Any amount is welcome.
