Partnership Opportunities

 A word to potential partners
 
I've never seen a church that God didn't bless at home when they were
sacrifically engaged in missions. Outgoing mission trips do far more than
bless the receiving church (though they certainly do this). They help you
to disciple your own, developing their gifts for service. This is why, as a
pastor hosting two incoming teams each year, I also led my church to be
a sending church. Consider this as you seek the Lord for your ministry.
 
Please understand that, while we appreciate those who volunteer with us,
we cannnot "invent" projects to serve you. Partnerships are determined by
the specific requests of our churches and by the strategic priorities of the
associations. For information about partnerships, please send me an
