The Missions Ministry of First Christian Church sends money, prayers, and services to many different ministries around the world. Our church tithes over 10% annually for the Missions Ministry to distribute so that the Gospel will be spread “to the ends of the earth.”


We keep in contact with these ministries to learn about their prayer requests and praises. Also, in order to verify good stewardship, we receive updates and annual reports.

Several of the missionaries are in unsafe areas of the world and encounter countless obstacles everyday.

More than anything, they need our prayers.


 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;

and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea

and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8
