Angel Tree reaches out to the children of prisoners. Prisoners request, through their prison chaplain, that Christmas presents be given to their children on their behalf. After the children’s caregivers are contacted and gift requests given, the FBC congregation purchases the gifts, wraps them, and then delivers the gifts either at a Christmas party or personally to the individual homes. Volunteers from the FBC congregation are ambassadors of Christ to the children, the caregivers, and the inmate. They represent the inmate to their children, letting them know they are loved.

Christian Challenge is a Southern Baptist ministry to college students located on the campus of Arizona State University. Christian Challenge exists for the purpose of providing weekday ministry to Christian students such as; “Overflow” a weekly worship experience, and “Lifegroups,” a small group discipleship experience meeting in campus housing. Christian Challenge also has an evangelistic focus through training students in personal evangelism, evangelistic outreach events, and mission trips both in the USA and internationally. Christian Challenge is focused on guiding students to meaningful involvement in a local church as well as developing students in leadership.

The adopted purpose statement of Christian Challenge ASU is: “to live… as a community of believers joyfully pursuing Jesus and allowing him to overflow in our lives so that we may develop disciple makers to reach ASU and the ends of the earth.”

Foothills contributes financially to Christian Challenge monthly and desires to support the ministry to students at ASU through Christian Challenge in a hands on manner as needs are made known.
