Our Missionaries
“For a long time now—to this very day—you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you.” Joshua 22:3
One of our God-given commandments is to support and encourage those who are teaching the gospel throughout the world! What a joy it is to see God at work through the actions of these individuals… and to be able to support them with prayer, financial donations and donated goods. Please be sure to “keep in touch” with these missionaries and “not desert them” in your thoughts, prayers and support.
