2025 Lesotho Mission Trip Report
2025 Lesotho Mission Trip Report April 30 – May 10, 2025 From the very first minute of our trip, God showed up. He reminded us once again that He is in every detail and that He is faithful.

Praying to the Lord of the Harvest

God’s church has always been a sending church and we get the privilege of being a part of it! The goal is to be a “sending” church and not a church that sent last year. One question that came to my mind as I was sitting in…
