Local Church with Global Impact
Our church is deeply committed to supporting missionaries and actively encourages the training and sending out of additional missionaries. We believe that missions is an integral part of our calling as Christians to spread the message of God's love and salvation to all nations. To that end, we provide a strong framework of support and resources for missionaries, both within our congregation and beyond.
​
First and foremost, our church actively engages in prayer for missionaries. We believe in the power of prayer to uplift, sustain, and protect those who are on the frontlines of mission work. Regular prayer meetings, prayer chains, and individual prayer support are organized to intercede for the needs, safety, and effectiveness of our missionaries. Additionally, we keep open lines of communication with our missionaries, regularly connecting with them through letters, emails, video calls, and visits, providing them with the emotional and spiritual support they need while they serve in the field.
Supported Missionaries
Fitzpatrick Family
Ethnos360 - Papua New Guinea
The Fitzpatricks serve with Ethnos360 in Papua New Guinea to plant a self-sustaining and indigenous church amongst an unreached people group in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, translate the Bible into their heart language, and disciple believers until they have a mature understanding of Christ's work on the cross.
Current and Next Steps:
-
Language: We have both learned the national trade language.
-
Team formation: We have found two couples/families with whom we are partnering to reach a tribe. Please pray for us as we make many decisions as a team so that we can plant a mature church.
-
Tribal surveys: They are necessary to evaluate the need for the Gospel.
-
Allocation: Moving into the tribe is no small task. The team must build a sustainable house and move their families to a remote location.
Prayer needs: Rapid language acquisition, and team unity amongst all the families. Adjusting as a family with now three children.
