Honduras Mission Trip

Please continue to pray for the children and staff at the Good Shepherd Children’s Home and RICEBOWLS.

Also remember in prayer our mission team that will be going in June.  What a blessing that we are still receiving donations for the trip.

Mission News! Please remember in prayer the North American Missions (Annie Armstrong). The theme this year is United” based on Philippians 2:1-2 that says:
If then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, make my joy complete by thinking the same way, having the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

Please pray for all the many missionaries and ministries throughout the world. These special missionaries and those that help in these ministries give of their time and talents to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ!

We will have our Love Offering for Missions in November 2023.
