Mission Partners
We believe that the Great Commission is a command for all Jesus followers to take part in making disciples among all nations. The way we can do that is by going or sending. We have the privilege of taking part in sending our partners through our prayers.
Would you join us in consistently praying for the Lord to make His name known through our partners?
