PURPOSE

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.  Isaiah 6:8

This coming Sunday our youth are leaving for a mission trip to Louisiana.  Please note the schedule below and take time each day to pray for these kids as they are on mission for the Lord. 

We are going to share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ with the community and churches of the New Orleans area through love and service. We will do this through work with children and teens in community bible clubs, serve those in need by working on home and school projects, and lead others to worship through the music and drama ministry of “Breaking Free”. An additional blessing of the mission experience is the building of “community” and relationships within our group.
