PURPOSE: The primary purpose of the Missions Ministry is to give
opportunity for salvation of souls in the U. S. or foreign fields where simple
New Testament Christianity is little known or unknown. Secondary purposes
include assisting and encouraging brethren in mission fields, stimulating
greater interest and better involvement in mission fields by our members, and
arousing a greater consciousness of the value of souls, not only in mission
areas, but in our own community.
MOTIVATION: "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach
the Gospel to all creation. He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but
he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. "' Mark 16:15 -16 NASB
