MISSIONS - Vision for the World
What does it mean to "Go ye into all the world..."? Most of us can't literally go around the world to spread the Gospel. However, we can fulfills Christ's last command to us in three distinct ways:
SEND GIVE PRAY
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
Mark 16:15

We currently support over 80 Missionary families. We have the privilege of partnering together with them as they take the Gospel around the world. You can find a Missionary either by Region or Alphabetically.
"How then shall they call on him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except THEY BE SENT?"
Romans 10:14-15

For over 30 years, we have used this systematic method of giving to support our missionaries. We ask church members to make a commitment by faith to give a certain amount regularly. Every year we seek to add new missionary families and raise the support of current missionaries.
"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity, for God loveth a cheerful giver."
II Corinthians 9:7

Just as important as giving financial support, our co-workers need and cherish our prayer support. It is quite a daunting task to pray regularly for over 80 families. We have developed a group called the Missions Prayer Team. We've divided this group into smaller teams, and they pray for a certain Region each week. Consider joining this vital ministry.
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:”
II Thessalonians 3:1
