Our heart and mission as the church is the same heart and mission of Jesus found in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed...".

All through the word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, Scripture presents the heartbeat of God-world missions. As believers, Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations.

Through this site you can get better connected with the missionaries we support who are serving the Lord and reaching the lost all over the world. Be praying for our missionaries and co-labor with them by praying for the financial resources and partnerships that will help them continue to bring a message of hope and love to others.
