December 2022
In December of 2022, our church sent a team of 12 to Eastern Europe for a Missions Conference put on by the International Mission Board. Lots of missionaries from Europe and their families attended this conference, and we were able to be a part of it. We were able to share testimonials about what God has done through our church, and we were able to love on these people and fellowship with them, being united in Christ. Being there to love and encourage these people encouraged our team as well, as we were able to see the passion these missionaries had for the Gospel, inspiring us to continue to be bold as we live our lives for Christ.
July 2023
In July of 2023, we sent a team of 6 to Żory, Poland. With the help of IMB Missionaries, we held a children's camp for Ukrainian refugee children and low-income families living in Żory. We were able to share the love of Jesus Christ to these children who have faced so much hardship in their lives. Not only did we have the opportunity to spread the love of Christ, but we were able to share the Gospel with the children who came, as well as their families. These children needed the hope and love of Christ, and our team was able to express that through simply spending time and playing with them.
July 2024
In July of 2024, we sent a team of 18 to Central Europe. While here, our mission team attended a week-long conference for IMB missionaries. Our team was able to provide childcare for the missionary families and spend time sharing the love of Christ with each child. Not only did our team care for the children, but they cared for the missionaries, as well. Our team was able to bring encouragement to the IMB missionaries, just as we are called to do in the body of Christ. During the latter half of the week, our team was also able to help a Ukrainian church with various jobs around their facility. The culmination of all this hard work was on the last day, where our team was able to worship with other believers in the Ukrainian church's worship service. Although there were language barriers, a love for Christ united everyone together.
