If you are interested in any of these trips, contact the lead under any of these missions. Please prayerfully consider your participation. These trips include service and evangelism and can be very uplifting for all who can go. Sometimes the service is to the people who go as much as to the people they go to serve.
There is also information on the international missions table in the front right of the worship center and in the foyer. The dates could possibly change for various reasons, so these dates are set, but not permanent.
Call to Africa
Ken Galyean is the leader of this group that moves teams and resources to the “Modern Day Macedonian Calls” where the national leaders are saying “come help us”. This is done through training and equipping the saints and caring for widows and orphans through local churches. There is also a “Bibles and Bikes” program for supplying the local pastors with needed supplies. There are plans for an orphanage to be built and the construction of water purification systems.
September 1-11, a team from CrossPointe will will join our partners in Botswana to conduct a strategic mission in Zimbabwe with a Leadership Training Conference, an Evangelical Campaign, and a Soccer Clinic/ Tournament. This team will work with leaders from local churches and ministries to make devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. Every event has a training aspect and evangelistic goal, and we need you to go with us! The cost is about $2450. Visit www.calltoafrica for more information.
