Faith Emergency Ministry Auxiliary
We believe that the Church in the first century and for centuries to follow was the Faith Emergency Ministry Auxiliary of, for and by the people in a network of volunteers who actually did the will of the Father.
What does that look like. It looks like people helping people. It looks like people caring about people and being of assistance to them because the love them, not only their family but also their neighbor and even the strangers in their midst.
This is the way it was meant to be from the beginning. This was what Christ and John the Baptist taught the people and it is what the early Church did and the Church in America a hundred years ago.
When people created the Mercury One, their goal was to recreate the American spirit that existed in the 1920s. Of course you cannot create spirit. You must live it and those who love that spirit will be drawn to it.
In the wake of the devastating tornadoes that rocked the Midwest there was a report that FEMA trucks came rolling down the road into one of the church parking lots, and the church and the people met them at the parking lot and the said, ‘Turn your trucks around. We don’t want you here.’” “We got it covered. Our community has come together. "We have it covered."
Does your community have it covered?
Is your church at the core of your survival and service plan?
Who will you pray to for your benefits?
There were lots of people around who called themselves benefactors but they exercised authority one over the other to obtain the funds to aid and benefit society. These forced contributions by something called government was not the only form of government in man's history.
This idea of one class of citizen forcing another to contribute in a common purse is actually rare in man's history according to numerous historians today.
This idea of taking from your neighbor to provide even good benefits for the people was forbidden by Christ and in truth also by Moses and Abraham and even Buddha but the modern societies and religions and belief systems of that day and today think it is okay to covet their neighbor's goods to get what they desire as long as you do it through government.
We do not.
We believe that mankind has another option when it comes to government and governing themselves and diligent students of history will and have found that alternative. During times of natural and social disasters men will often discover the practicality of coming together for the sake of each other, but to do that before an emergency or disaster takes place is preparing.
