Short-term mission teams for 2018
We are excited to be sending 29 people from our HeartLink Network churches to the mission field this year. We believe God raises up GOers and SENDers to complete the Great Commission. We're thankful that we have an army of both in our network.
As a SENDer, please pray for those who are going. Prayer is the most important thing you can do to support the calling upon their life. And consider giving financially. CLICK HERE to give online through FundEasy.
