The Jesus Our Culture Does Not Know
January–March 7, 2010
By Mike Rose, Senior Pastor
I thought it would be helpful to share with
you where our preaching series will be going in
the coming weeks. Below are three mini-series
titles along with the message topics and relevant
Scriptures.
Milestones
A “milestone” can be used when talking
about distances between two points or the marking of important
events in a person’s life. This three week study will look at three
milestones that mark Jesus’ life.
January 3 Growing Like Jesus, Luke 2:52
10 Jesus Faced and Defeated Temptation, Matthew 4:1–11
17 Jesus: Message, Ministers and Ministry, Matthew 4:17–25
Jesus Speaks to the Issues of Our Lives
Proverbs 14:12 says, There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death. Human nature leads us to define
life’s issues in our terms so we can feel comfortable with the way
we choose to live. Jesus defined the issues based on the wisdom
of God. We want to understand what Jesus said about important
issues and align ourselves with His truth.
January 24 The Sanctity of Life / The Scope of Sexual Sin, Matthew 5:20–30
31 The Sacredness of the Marital Covenant / The Sincerity of Our Word,
Matthew 5:31–37
February 7 The Stupidity of Vengeance / The Sensibility of Loving Your Fellow
Man, Matthew 5:38–48
Portrait of an Amazing Man
Our Savior is unique in every way: connected to God in
prayer, friend of sinners, worker of miracles and lightning rod of
controversy. We will examine Jesus from these differing angles
to increase our understanding of His life and work.
February 14 Jesus: Man of Prayer, Luke 11:1–4. (Danny Lightner)
21 Jesus: Friend of Sinners, Luke 7:34
28 Jesus: Man of Miracles, Various Scriptures
March 7 Jesus: Uniter~Divider, Matthew 10:34–38
Volume 11 Number 29 First Federated Church
Dustin Damitz
to Lead Media
Ministries
By David Bush, Pastor of Worship and Arts
I am excited to announce that
Dustin Damitz (pronounced Dah-
mits) has accepted our invitation to
serve as our new Media Director.
Dustin and his wife Kristen and
one-month-old baby Audrey (Dre)
will join us in early January,
moving from their current location
in rural southwest Illinois.
Dustin is a 2008 graduate of
Greenville Christian College in
Greenville, IL where he received
a BS degree in Digital Media. While at Greenville, he assisted
professors in teaching audio and recording classes and was asked
to run sound at major Christian concerts sponsored by the col-
lege. He has been volunteering at his local church in both media
and worship ministries. In addition to running his own recording
studio, Dustin plays guitar, bass and drums. He also regularly
runs sound for his father who performs Southern gospel/Gaither
style music.
Dustin visited Des Moines and FFC in late November and is
excited that he has been given the opportunity to put his skills to
use in a church environment. For the past 18 months Dustin has
been working for John Deere in Moline, IL in computer, parts
approval and budgeting capacities.
With his arrival, the position of Media Director will move
from an Equipping Staff to Support Staff role and will report to
David Bush. We are looking forward to utilizing the capabilities
Dustin brings to this position and believe he will help us continue
to communicate to our body with excellence.
Please extend a warm welcome to Dustin and Kristen as they
begin their work here in a few short weeks.

 MISSION ONE Reaching others for Jesus Christ
Jeff & Carolyn Anderson
Mission Board: New Life
Location: Santander, Spain
What do they do? Jeff &
Carolyn are co-directors
of La Industria, a 9-month
arts and faith disciple-
ship program offered to
Spanish youth on the northern coast of Spain to strengthen and
develop leadership. In Contra Corriente the goal is to motivate
through events that challenge young people to fully abandon
their lives to God. Carolyn went on many FFC mission trips as
a teen. She is the daughter of Mike and Jan McCourt.
Praises:
• For an enjoyable two months in the Midwest this summer.
Prayer Requests:
• For God’s leading to purchase a place for La Industria.
• For spiritual awakening in the hearts of their children.
• For Austin as he seeks God concerning his future.
• For financial needs of all missionaries serving in Europe—
experiencing huge financial cuts in support due to the dollar/
Euro exchange rate.
• Planning for Contra Corriente in June and the 10-day event
in July.
• For increased enrollment of students next year.
Don & Lois Jean Hesse
Mission Board:
Wycliffe Bible Translators
Location: Dallas, Texas
What do they do? As young marrieds
they were led to FFC in the early
fifties, and sent on their first Wycliffe assignment to Peru in
1957. Now retired, they are in the center of Wycliffe activity
at the Dallas Linguistic Training Graduate School. They
live with many of old Mexico and Peru colleagues from the
beginning years of Bible translation work. A weekly Peru
prayer meeting in their building allows them to be involved
with the work where they served for 2 terms (before head-
quarters assignment for publicity of Wycliffe’s global work.)
Prayer Requests:
• Continued strength for Lois Jean as she cares for Don, who
had an acute stroke in 2004.
• For God’s leading on how to bless their 4 children, 13 grands
and new great-grands.
• For God to make His call clear to the thousands of workers
yet needed to begin Bible translation in 2200+ unreached
languages by 2025.
• That God will move His worldwide church to pray and
finance to finish the task of sharing His message with all the
remaining unreached peoples.
First Federated Church 4 Sunday, December 27, 2009

Mission Board: Campus Cru-
sade for Christ
Location: Little Rock, Arkansas
What do they do? Having
served with FamilyLife in
Nairobi, Kenya, for more than 18 years, the Hunts have tran-
sitioned to Little Rock, Arkansas. Bill’s continuing health
issues were a major factor in the move. They are focused
on training, mentoring and equipping national staff to build
FamilyLife movements in 21 African countries.
Praises:
• For their summer in Rwanda, launching the FamilyLIfe
project there.
• Premarital counseling for a Kenyan couple in Little Rock;
for Valens, a Rwandan college student who likes to hang out
at their house.
Prayer Requests:
• Funding needed for their next summer in Rwanda, with Cori
and Ellis north in Ethiopia.
• For Jenni as she home schools—the children are doing well.

often collides with a culture they no longer understand.
• Guidance for Cori, in her junior year and visiting colleges.
Pablo & Rosa Gallego
Mission Board:
Partners in Evangelism
Location: Malaga, Spain
What do they do? Pablo and Rosa
are nationals, serving and reach-

emphasize teaching God’s Word to young families using
sports, leisure activities and camps. Living authentic and
transparent lives with Christ as Lord, the Gallegos stress the
importance of discipleship.
Praises:
• For Pepe and Loli, new Christians last December, to con-
tinue to grow in their faith.
• God’s provision of 2640 lbs. of food every three months,
enabling them to help 35 families a month during this eco-
nomic crisis.
• Special activities opened doors for them to touch the hearts
and lives of their neighbors and friends.
Prayer Requests:
• For the conversion of families that participate in activities of
“Family Junior.”
• For the salvation of their neighbors.
• For God to provide a much needed car for them.
