We take Christ's command in Mark 16:15 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." very seriously. However we understand that "all the world" includes, in fact begins right here in our own town, not just the far reaches of exotic third world countries. Our mission projects start in our own children's ministries and extend as far out as our orphange in Sri Lanka. Here are some of the missions and missionaries we provide or support:
Rancho Maranatha - is ministry in Alamos Mexico reaching out to the communities surrounding it through an orphanage, service projects and Bible studies. Brian and Rochelle Ray are our missionaries at the ranch though we are so blessed to have them here with us as they spend some time allowing God to heal their sons Jesse and Levi.
Welcome Home Foundation - is an orphanage for boys in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Our support provides a home, a loving environment, education, food and clothing to boys in this war torn country.
New Hope Missions - is a ministry in Haiti that provides education and meals to hundreds of children each day. New Hope also builds and pastors churches in many small communities in Northern Haiti.
Jalle, Southern Sudan - Jalle is a town in Southern Sudan that was completely decimated by twenty years of civil war in Sudan. We are thrilled to be part of the New Jalle Community Project. We are in the process of building a school, church, medical facility and some housing for the refugees returning to their home after so many years away. We have three members of our church currently living in Jalle overseeing the construction of these projects. Please keep William, Fred and David in your prayers.
The Freedom Center is an outreach to the Kurdish people in Kurdistan of Iraq. The center is the dream of our friend Heather Mercer and is under construction now. We hope to send not only resources to this fantastic ministry but also missionaries to reach out to these historically oppressed people.
