In May 1995, the Lord led Pastor Hunter to start a neighborhood bible study group on Saturdays in her home.  Waiting on the timing of God, she remained faithful in her father’s ministry until he retired, due to health problems.  The church eventually ended; then the Lord told her it was her time.  Shortly, thereafter, with much prayer and consultation with her pastor, she launched out to plant a church.   She sought the Lord for a name, and He told her to “take the spirit of your father”.  She named the church “Friendship Church Outreach Ministry, Inc” (FCOM). She went out like Abraham, not knowing who would go with her or where to go, but the Lord was faithful who called her. The church’s membership continues to grow.  Today, the church has over 500 members and countless visitors who come to worship God, be saved, delivered, and set free.  Many ministries have been added to accommodate the needs of the membership.  Friendship Bible Institute was established in July 2006. FCOM, now has 4 churches that have come out of the ministry. Continue to pray for Friendship as we keep our focus on “Reaching and Preaching for Jesus” (RAP), with the reward of souls being won to the Kingdom of God.  Pastor Hunter holds on to the scripture (Acts 26:22) “Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue to this day, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing beyond what the Prophets and Moses said would happen.”
