MISSIONS
Acts 1:8 NIV “…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
What is missions?
In a nutshell Missions is sharing the Love of Christ in real practical ways so that those who don’t know Christ may come into a saving relationship with Christ through repentance and life transformation. This may mean supporting missionaries around the world who are living among and teaching people in other countries about the Love of God. This also means being involved in Canada, Alberta, and Lethbridge in ministering to those who need love. Whether it is providing funding for a orphanage in South America, or backpacks full of school supplies for kids in Lethbridge that can’t afford them in Lethbridge, you will find many ways that you can be involved in spreading God’s Love.
