SHORT-TERM MISSIONS &
DISASTER RESPONSE

For our short-term missionaries serving this summer, pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual protection; for a Christ-like attitude toward servanthood; for increased missionary vision; for boldness in witness. A sad update to this summer's STM schedule: two days before take-off, Team Haiti 2019 had to be cancelled for security reasons. Missionary Ben Hopp stated, "The Mission does not take this decision lightly. The safety and well-being of the team is our priority. Pray with us for peace in Haiti that the Gospel of Christ may go forward freely."
