In our constitution the Equipping of Believers is one of the five aspects of our calling. We accept the Great Commission's instruction for us to go and make disciples. This has been exemplified over these 21 years as we have not only been receivers of mission support but also senders! We give thanks and celebrate the missionaries who have come to be a part of our journey and continue to pray for those we have been enabled to support in mission.
