Missionaries

Missions

Our Bible gives us guidance concerning our purpose at home in Ocean Shores and the North Beach area, and around the world:

"And He [Jesus] said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." ~ Mark 16:15

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me [Jesus] both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." ~ Acts 1:8

To help us tell the "world" of this "good news" message, we support missionaries that have the same purpose, but different fields.

Our Jerusalem/Judaea is our own community and our state. Our members have our responsibility here; however, we support the following missionaries that reach the "uttermost part of the earth":
