Missions
OUR VISION FOR MISSIONS
| Upcoming Short-Term Trips
| Supported Ministries
1. To heighten awareness of Jesus Christ's heart for His lost world and for world-wide evangelical needs/concerns.
2. To train and equip our congregation to be future missionaries and missions senders.
3. To support current missionaries and missions organizations through prayer, financial giving and encouragement.
Our current missions philosophy is to raise workers for the Kingdom of God
to reach the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8) - either as missionaries or
missions senders/mobilizers.
MISSIONS COMMUNITY: In response to the growing number of people
in our church sensing a call to missions both as goers and senders, our
missions community was born. This group of missions-minded folks meet
every few months to foster accountability and relationships through
sharing times, interacting with missionaries on furlough, watching
missions videos, and praying for a variety of missions concerns.
MISSIONARY SUPPORT GROUPS: In order to effectively
support a missionary, there needs to be a relationship. This principle
initially led us to form prayer support groups for two of our
missionaries serving overseas. Then three more support groups were
formed for our new missionaries. It is important as senders to support
our missionaries not only through prayer and finances, but also through
communication, logistical, and moral support. As God is calling more
and more of our brothers and sisters to "go", we pray that He will
raise up people from our church to send them.
MISSIONS BULLETIN BOARD: We have organized a bulletin
board on the 3rd floor so that our congregation can learn more about
the missionaries and organizations that we support. We hope that it
will serve as a helpful resource for our members to keep abreast with
updates from our missionaries as well as other missions news.
