When you support one of our missionaries, you are supporting the mission of Jesus within the community where they serve, and when you go on a mission trip, you get to personally be the hands and feet of Jesus in communities around the world.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mathew 28:19-20
