Missions & Outreach

As Jesus was God’s personal missionary, He is the perfect model for us to emulate. Jesus sent the twelve out in John 20:21 and now He sends us. We not only go, we go prayerfully and financially assist others that share the Gospel in numerous ways, both at home and across the seas.
