Recently I had the chance to chat with longtime pastor/member of Fairview, Marvin Gass. Its important to understand that as we look to the future to see what legacy Fairview will have in the coming generations we can best live into the vision God has given us by examining the DNA of our past. I asked Marvin what helped Fairview grow in the past. Without much hesitation Marvin told me that it was relationships that helped Fairview grow. Relationships that were formed when people visited for the first time, relationships that were nourished by visits and ongoing invitations to join the Fairview community, and relationships that were discovered as people connected with the neighbors around them. So the question that haunts us today is, “where are we meeting the neighbors in our world who need Christ?” You and I are Fairview and no amount of programming can replace the open doors that the Spirit creates when you and I reach out to those around us on a one-to-one basis. I challenge you to find someone who does not know Christ and get to know them. Because here are the cold hard facts… if you don’t know someone who is not Christian then you cannot be faithful to the calling God has on your life. You can’t make disciples out of disciples, and you can’t reconcile people to God when they’ve already been reconciled. We must be like Christ… seeking out relationships with the least the last and the lost. Don’t let Heritage Sunday come and go and not remember who you are and who God has called Fairview to be. This is a time to remember the past as we run towards the future that God has for us. Here is your charge Fairview…. Passionately glorify the one who has rescued you from destruction, extravagantly welcome those who do not know Christ and win them to God through his extravagantly, messy, unrelenting love, help each other see what it looks like to take on the mind of Christ as we live it out in service to this world and one another.
Light up the dark!

Malaria Kills - Nets Save Lives
Nov 21
Posted In: , Project
Malaria is a deadly disease that infects more than 500 million people every year. In fact every 30 seconds someone dies from Malaria. The disease is particularly devastating in Africa, where it is a leading killer of children. In addition to being home to the deadliest strain of malaria and the mosquito best equipped to transmit the disease, many areas in Africa lack the proper infrastructure and resources to fight back.
The disease is a self-perpetuating problem with large-scale impact on societies and economies. Malaria accounts for up to half of all hospital admissions and outpatient visits in Africa. In addition to the burden on the health system, malaria illness and death cost Africa approximately $12 billion a year in lost productivity. The effects permeate almost every sector. Malaria increases school absenteeism, decreases tourism, inhibits foreign investment, and even affects the type of crops that are grown.
Despite the magnitude of the problem, there is a simple and cost-effective solution to prevent malaria deaths. For just $10, we can purchase a bed net, deliver it to a family, and explain its use. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of
transmissions occur. A family of four can sleep under an insecticide-treated bed net, safe from malaria, for up to four years. The benefits of bed nets extend even further than the family. When enough nets are used, the insecticide used to deter mosquitoes makes entire communities safer—including even those individuals who do not have nets.
Although $10 for a bed net may not sound like much, the cost makes them out of reach for most people at risk of malaria, many of whom survive on less than $1 a day. Nets are a simple, life-saving solution, but we need your help to provide them to those in need.
We are partnering with Nothing-But-Nets to provide a bed nets and save children's lives. The NBA is also a partner in this endeavor and it is a great way to honor the sports enthusiast in your life. For more information visit
