Missions Overview

‘Mission’ is a word whose meaning has unfortunately changed and sometimes been watered down over the centuries. Jesus commanded His disciples to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature". Because of their obedience, they were not only persecuted and eventually martyred for their message put into action, but multitudes of people came to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour and were freed from the bondage of sin.

Jesus' message never changes, and we, as a church, pray for and financially support missionaries who preach the gospel of salvation and are involved in discipling and raising up new believers with tithes. Our emphasis is on missionaries who are reaching into some of the darkest places, such as the persecuted church in closed countries, and people who are victims of sex trafficking and child slavery. Many of the people being reached had never previously heard of Jesus Christ.

The Missionaries We Support

We currently support 3 ministries:

  • Lana in India is the leader of a ministry team that serves the poor in red light areas. Please pray for their team’s health and strength. Lana particularly asks that we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to touch the hearts of those they speak to on a daily basis and for repentance and salvation among those people.

  • Kayio, Natasha, and their little daughter Hadassah serve with the IRIS Lisbon team in the African immigrant slums and in Roma camps.

  • Mark and Les have been serving in Mozambique for over 30 years. Their ministry includes leading children’s homes for orphans, helping communities affected by natural disasters, providing support to persecuted churches in the North of the country, and facilitating the production and distribution of audio Bibles and missions training materials to unreached people groups in their own languages.
