Covenant Missionaries

In the United Methodist Church we are called to connectional. As part of that connection we have entered into a covenant relationship with three missionaries and their ministries.

 

"Churches partner with a missionary when they enter into a Covenant Relationship. This partnership is much more than a financial commitment. It is a dynamic relationship where the church and missionary pray for one another and communicate regularly. By deepening its own awareness of the struggles and triumphs of the missionary, the congregation participates in a work that is truly connectional." From the General Board on Global Ministries website.

 

We are in a covenant relationship  with the following missionaries. As part of our relationship we donate $3000 to their mission. We also keep them in our prayers and maintain a relationship to learn about their ministries. You are encouraged to email them, to pray for them, and to learn more about what they do in their ministries.
