Local Mission Trips for 2010

By Mark Jackson :: January 1, 2010

This next year promises to be a financially challenging one for many of our families.  Have you considered a local mission trip to avoid travel and motel costs?  Working within your local association can be effective in terms of the impact on the Kingdom of God.  We have opportunities that can involve hours or days and the need is great.

By utilizing these short term opportunities along with a longer trip, all of your folks could have an opportunity to be on mission for the Lord.
