Global Missions
When Jesus told his early followers to “Go” to the uttermost parts of the earth, they went. (Matthew 28:19) They left their homes and families and moved to different cultures where people had not yet heard the good news. As they shared, they planted churches in their new homes with those who also wanted to follow Jesus. That is why the Church is the largest organization on the face of the earth today – Christians have never stopped telling others about Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are still “going” today. We encourage people to pray about how they might be a part of God’s great mission to win the world for Himself. This can include praying for missionaries, supporting them financially, going on short-term missions, or long-term mission work.
We list below some of the global missions that our people currently do.
