Ever
Ready for Missions - 2008
“I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.” John 15:5
The Out Reach Mission TEAM is Ever Ready for new and exciting projects in 2008. The ‘Mission Tree’ will continue with a new MIA (Mission in Action) each month. The special emphasis in 2008 will be on children in need.
Each year in Africa over 1/5 of all children under 5 years of age die from mosquito borne disease, which is easily prevented with a $10.00 net. There are children here in our area who go to school without the basic necessities and others who are at high risk of never knowing Jesus.
2008 will provide many opportunities to be ‘ EVER READY for Missions’. You CAN make a difference.
