Hire a Missionary – Please check out our “Hire A Missionary” bulletin board located in the downstairs entrance hallway, where you’ll find posted the resumes of missionaries looking to earn some much needed funds to attend April’s New York mission trip. Our missionaries are very hard working and have many skills and talents to offer. On the bottom of each resume you will find a phone number for you to call and schedule their services. The Mission Team would also like to thank you for all your support and to ask that you begin praying for our Team as we begin the journey of preparing to make the trip.
