‘Called to Make Disciples, Everywhere!’ (Mt. 28:18-20)

“Jesus came to them and said: I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth! Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples . . . . “

Missions! – This is our calling to go and tell others about Jesus! That’s why we collect the Lottie Moon offering for international missions this time every year. That’s why we send missionaries to places around the world equipped to tell others how to be saved!

The Lottie Moon Offering equips us to pray, to give, and to go so they others will hear about Jesus and have the opportunity to have Him in their hearts.
