Missions has the mandate to invest in the lives of people and the ministry of people. Missions, the largest component of this ministry, uses this mandate to be the hands and feet of this church around the world.
Missions identify opportunities to assist people who share the gospel and then provide financial assistance. We also strive to inform the church about prayer requests and needs. We model our ministry after Jesus’ charge to the disciples in Acts 1:8: “you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” We seek to provide assistance for efforts that are done locally, regionally or internationally. With this guideline we then seek out ministries that touch each of these areas.
Missions aims to raise attention to the needs of the “Persecuted Church”. Our brothers and sisters in many parts of the world face tremendous opposition, persecution and oppression. Our work in Missions puts us in contact with many such situations and their plight puts a tremendous burden on our hearts.
