MISSIONS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Your skills, prayers, witness, personality, and gifts can be an answer to someone's prayers. Remember God does not call the qualified, God qualifies the called. Mission journeys transform our lives through blessings, dreams and visions of strangers who over time become friends, through beautiful moments and bumpy roads as we answer a call to serve in new places.
Your skills as an educator, or medical field worker, or electrician, or pastor, or construction worker, or prayer warrior are needed to build relationships, share the Gospel, and help leave the world better than you found it for the sake of Christ.
Say a prayer for courage, be brave, take a risk and reach out to one of the people listed below to be part of a scheduled international East Ohio Conference mission ministry.
