WHY WE CARE ABOUT GLOBAL MINISTRIES OF MERCY
As a church, we are called to look beyond our own community and neighborhood and to the nations - to the world as a whole. We long for the gospel of Jesus Christ to advance to the very ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14).
We are compelled to global mercy because of the mercy we ourselves have received. When Jesus called his disciples to be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8), we, as 21st century Americans are those ends of the earth. Historically, we have heard and believed, we have been served and cared for well in the name of Jesus because people from other nations took Jesus’ mandate to heart. In turn, we keep our eyes open to the great needs of our world today and prayerfully look for opportunities to send and support the work God is doing globally.
We are honored to be partnering with the ministries listed below to advance the gospel throughout the world.
Josh & Megan Herring | DiscipleMakers - Gettysburg, PA
DiscipleMakers seeks to raise up effective disciple-making disciples for the sake of Jesus Christ on college campuses. They do this through intensive training in Bible study leading, Scripture-centered discipleship, evangelism, and in casting vision for the necessity of the local church.
Serving primarily at Gettysburg College (and exploring opportunities on campuses in nearby Harrisburg), Josh and Megan are investing in the next generation who come from all across the globe. In doing so, their aim is to obey Christ's command to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19) and see more and more people come to the knowledge of the Truth.
B&G | Reaching & Teaching Ministries - Southeast Asia
B & G are beginning gospel ministry in Southeast Asia to begin gospel ministry. They will be full-time language students and plan to transition to discipleship and evangelism work among the local people. They are excited to serve the local church in that region alongside their other teammates.
