Missions Ministry
Our goal in missions is to be obedient to Jesus' command to be witnesses to Him at home and to the "ends of the earth". Currently we are not in a position to send teams abroad from our fellowship but once a year, so we support 8 native Gospel For Asia missionaries in India and surrounding regions. Gospel For Asia is a very fruitful ministry and we are blessed to be part of the work they are doing through prayer and financial support.
Beginning January 8 from 7:00-9:00 AM, will be the first Missions Prayer Meeting. We will gather every Saturday in the Sanctuary to lift up those who are serving in the mission field. The missionaries include the Rodriguez family, Poncho, Lillie, Nemo, and Roshanah who are seving in Valledupar, Colombia and our GFA missionaries in India/Asia.

The following information was taken from the Gospel for Asia website. For more details about GFA, please visit their site at www.gfa.org.
Sharing the Gospel
The primary aim of Gospel for Asia's ministry is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who have never before heard His name.
National Missionaries
Gospel for Asia trains and sends national missionaries because they have proven extremely effective. They are already familiar with the language and culture, and they live at the level of the people they serve, thus removing many social barriers.
100 Percent
Gospel for Asia sends 100 percent of the money you donate for work on the mission field to the field. Nothing is taken out for administrative expenses.
