We take the “Great Commission” seriously (Matt. 28.18-20; Acts 1.8) . We are to be a witness for Christ in Angelica, the surrounding region, and around the world. We believe that New Testament “missions” is first and foremost starting new churches. Therefore that is our priority in our missions program. One quarter of our total income is designated for missions. This year our mission's budget is 42,700. Last year God gave us income over what we anticipated, and we were able to give an extra $40,305 to various missions projects, for a total of over $80,000 in missions giving in 2021. We support over 29 missionaries serving all over the globe, and 9 other ministries. Recently we have made national pastors and missionaries a priority because they already know the language and culture well, and can immediately be an effective witness for Christ.
This is a partial alphabetical listing of some of our missionaries, their respective boards and ministries.
The others serve in potentially perilous locations or ministries have been omitted for their protection.
