Check out some great holiday gift ideas in the Book Nook! FREE BOOKS! With your donation to OPBC Missions or Lottie Moon!
Every year we give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering & every year the Gospel is proclaimed throughout the world because of your giving. What will you give this year to spread the Good News of Christ among the nations?
OUR GOAL: $7,500
| MISSIONS | RECAP | This past summer was a huge season for church missions. The youth attending IMITATE, a missions training experience. A team headed north to work with a church plant in Toronto. Early fall we had a team travel to Barcelona on a vision trip to aid missionaries & refugees. Another team worked to begin a food pantry at a small church in West Virginia. The work we can do as a church body is amazing and even more so the work we can do to proclaim the Gospel among the nations. Be sure to attend our special Thanksgiving Service to hear from missionaries from three of our trips this past season: Toronto, West VA & Barcelona . Want to get involved? Help us close the global gap and spread the Good News of Christ to all peoples & nations. Attend a missions planning meeting or consider donating to OPBC Missions. The Focus - Nov/Dec 2015
