The story of overseas World Missions is an absolutely powerful one...
We have a tremendous force of missionaries, strong national leaders, God-given doors of opportunity and a great ministry program none of which would be possible if not for the continued, faithful support of our local churches. Let me simply say, "thank you."
Your role as pastors, missions directors, and church leaders has been absolutely essential to the caues of World Missions. The Great Commission is still the mandate of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The 5- and 7-Star program is designed to help us enhance and expand the missions ministries of the local church. With our church (IPHC) focusing on the vision of Arise 2033, now is the time to focus our energy toward the harvest as never before.
Together, we really can make a difference.
In Christ,
Larry Meadors
