Reaching out to touch the lives of others
 
As Christians, we all have the responsibility of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and His saving grace with others. This requires effort on our part to allow God to show us the needs of others and ways we can be His instruments to bring about positive changes in their lives. It requires giving of our time, our talents, and our finances. The mission fields are ripe and right outside our doors in everyday life, as well as abroad.
 
Good Shepherd Worship Center provides support on a monthly basis to missionaries and ministries spread locally, nationally and throughout the world.  Missions teams are sent out regularly to evangelize, assist missionaries with construction projects, and equip pastors and ministers with leadership training.

The trip is set for July 20-27.
 
MISSION CONFERENCE SAT 6/1 AT 5 PM
WE NEED THEME BASKETS TO AUCTION OFF
We are preparing for the upcoming Missions Conference/Banquet! It will be on June 1st, Saturday evening at 5 pm. Every year we ask people to put together theme baskets that we can auction off to make money for projects. This year's project is Water Filtration systems for El Salvador.
 
What's a Missions Conference/Banquet?
It is a special project event that focuses on the importance of missions, how it touches the lives of those in other countries, how vital it is to the missionary workers on the filed, and how important it is to Jesus that we GO and get involved to fulfill the Great Commission.
We have a special speaker, a meal, and an auction to make additional money for a special project and share the vision of how important it is. We encourage everyone to participate by giving on a monthly basis so we can sponsor local and foreign missionaries, and to continue to do more projects as needs arise.
 
DONATIONS FOR EL SALVADOR MISSION TRIP
Everyone can participate in small ways to make a big differnce. HOW? $1 reading glasses can be bought at the Dollar Store (strenght 2 adn under), donations to buy Bibles for street ministry, small toys that can be easily packed in luggage, jewelry, and nice children's clothes.

Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you"
