Global Mission

While there are multiple Global Mission organizations that we connect with, there are 2 that are of primary focus:

THE CHRISTIAN & MISSIONARY ALLIANCE

The denomination of which we are a part of has a strong emphasis on the foreign aspect of mission - it has since its inception over 140 years ago. Since 1887, The Alliance has served the spiritual and physical needs of millions of men, women, and children in every part of the world. Today, the C&MA’s global ministries encompass people in 81 countries and territories. In 70 of these, more than 700 U.S. workers are caring for the sick, befriending the lonely, and introducing spiritually impoverished people to Jesus. The U.S. Alliance is only part of the larger World Alliance Fellowship - made up of Alliance ministries from many nations of the world with their own antonymous organization an ministry.

Our local congregation - while praying for / financially supporting our Alliance missionaries through our denominational “Great Commission Fund” - has chosen to become a “ministry partner” with the missionaries serving in the nation of Cambodia. Over the years, we have developed a deep relationship with 2 families, in particular - Jeff & Heather Williams (& their family) and Bounoeuy & Chanthan Kes (& their family).

“EWE CANS”

Each month, we save our extra change (sometimes bills) and place it in a small container (provided) - to be collected on the 1st Sunday of the month. We, literally, dump the contents of our “Ewe Cans” into a “Feed Pail.” These monies are then sent to a special project somewhere in the world that needs funds to carry on its ministry to a special group of Jesus’ “Sheep.” (thus, the terms used)

At this time we are collecting / giving to a special ministry in Africa (specific location withheld purposely) that reaches out to boys in the streets who are basically slaves to collecting money for their adult handlers. The ministry helps to take these boys “off the street,” care for their physical needs, and enroll them in a school that will educate them - training them in skill of auto mechanics. From this they have hope for a better, self-supporting life. In the process of their training, they also hear the Good News that Jesus loves them and that He offers them the gift of Eternal Life.
