Risk Taking Missions and Services 2011 - 2012
Local Missions | World Missions
The Risk-taking Mission and Service ministry helps persons move out of their comfort zones and engage in actual face to face ministries within our community and abroad. Where impossible to go face to face, we are committed to sending money and supplies to help persons know the love of Jesus.
Recommendations for mission organizations that the church can support are always welcomed. Please provide as much information as you can about the organization. The mission organization should be faith-based, meet a physical and/or spiritual need, be fiscally responsible, and appeal to a broad range of people. Non faith-based organizations are also considered if their service is in harmony with Christian values.
