Jesus commands us in Matthew 28.18-19: “…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” The central mandate of the Great Commission is to “make disciples of [...]

What You Can Do

Take action. PRAY. Prayer is the  essential component of all we do in Christ for His glory.  Apart from the work of Jesus, through the Spirit, in us, we can do nothing. (John 15.5)  We must desperately cry out for God to work in us to accomplish His global purpose. You are invited to our [...]

Upcoming Trips

Dead in our sins and trespasses in [...]
