This
is the mandate of our Missions Committee: “To see the Gospel of
Christ proclaimed outside of our congregation through support of
missions which fulfill the great commission of Christ as
proclaimed by the Lord in Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 1:8” .
We support a
variety of missions and ministries throughout the world as well
as close to home. Currently we financially support missionaries
with Fellowship International, Fellowship French Missions, Trans
World Radio, SIM, New Life Camp and Word of Life Ministries, and
make a point of inviting them to make a presentation of their
work when they are home on furlough. However, we welcome
missionaries to come and present their work, whether currently
supported by the church financially or not.
We also welcome
the opportunity to hear from those just starting for the field.
This usually happens at least every other month during the year.
We also highlight a particular missionary in the bulletin and
make their prayer letters available at Prayer Meeting each week
and give updates in morning service as necessary.
Our greatest
desire is to see our own people catch the vision and to this end
we joyfully help support our young people as they work in summer
camps and anyone who might express a desire to go to the field
as short term missionaries.
