Why Missions?

As the Father sent Jesus into the world to provide salvation, Jesus sends his followers into the world to share the good news that this salvation is available to everyone, regardless of religion, culture, or lifestyle. Because the world is a glorious yet broken place, we share the gospel in word and deed.

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”- Matthew 9:35-38

Explore Our History In Missions

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:13-15

Present Day Focus

When you read the biographies of our missions partners you will notice that they are just ordinary people. They come from every background and walk of life, not superstars or super spiritual. But they all felt the tug of God on their hearts to share the good news of the gospel.

The work is as varied as the people. Some of the ways God can use us to share the gospel will take the willing into the hardest places on earth. So, for security reasons we have blocked out those names and pictures.
