Missions

Missionary emphasis for December - Birthday Of The King. This year's Birthday of a King offering will be collected for the Fairley family.  Dave is the Director of Youth With A Mission – Bishop / Sea & Summit Expeditions and oversees an outdoor adventure ministry center that is becoming a hub for outreach, training, support, and the establishment of new ministries nationally and internationally.  The Fairley's are a missionary family who have decided to be like the Levites and rely on the family of God to provide the funds necessary to survive so that God can use Dave full-time in ministry. We want to show our appreciation by blessing them for all the work they do in our community and throughout the world for Christ.   Donations will be received throughout the month of December. They may be placed in the box on the Mission Table or in the regular offering clearly marked Birthday of the King.
