Missions
It has been said that a church's sending capacity is a better measurement tool for maturity than its seating capacity. We agree with that statement, and it is our goal to send people into the world - both the world that they live in and the world at large. We seek to impact our surrounding communities with outreach and evangelism, seeking to build relationships with pre-Christians so that we can assist them as they come to know Christ.
Globally, we pour resources, time, energy, personnel, and money into world evangelism. We have sent several families from our church into full time mission work, and our stated goal is for 10% of our adult attendance each year to go on a foreign mission trip.
We currently have several Missionaries that we support through prayer and finances around the world. We encourage you to follow how God is using them in their work.

Where have nearly 300 people been brought to faith in Christ in the midst of Muslim dominance during the past year? Why, Ghana, of course! Read about it, as well as the over 10,000 kids served in day care, the 800+ women building hope for the future in a micro-enterprise development program, and much more in these 2 updates:

Looking for a ministry to channel your money for relief work in Haiti? Consider Samaritan’s Purse. They mention that their local partner is Baptist Haiti Mission which is just up the road from the orphanage I visited a month ago. I have not heard any news yet on how that orphanage is doing but will update this post when I do.
Please pray for the people of Haiti and for God’s church in that already impoverished nation.
Update: The orphanage I visited is doing fairly well considering. They had no known damage to their building and also received their monthly delivery of food just two day before the earthquake hit. Praise God that he has provided and protected. We trust him for our provision and care and know that “all things happen together for good to those that love God and are called according to His purposes.”
Another Christian orphanage that you might consider learning more about and supporting is God’s Littlest Angels. They’ve gotten a lot of news coverage in the US.

Adi and Lavinia report that the Lord has raised close to three-quarters of the funds needed for the roof repair to the Living Hope Center. Another $2,500 is still needed to complete all the repairs, however, and winter weather is fast approaching.

This post includes updates on Willy, several financial needs, news of a pastor friend’s cancer diagnosis, and much more.
Holy is the Lord God almighty. We say Holy, Holy, Holy is He.
It is with mixed emotions that we end November and begin December because our time for furlough is coming up very quickly.

Please join the missions team that ministered to orphans this summer in China for a presentation this Sunday after the worship service. Potluck will precede the presentation. Please bring a main dish (crockpots work great) and either a salad or a dessert to share.
