Local Missions
God wants us to love Him and love others. One way we can love someone is by sharing the good news about Jesus Christ with them. Another way is to meet their basic needs for food, clothes, and shelter thereby encouraging a receptive heart that is ready to hear God's call. Listed below are several local missions that do just that. Read through them and let them touch your heart, then get involved.
