2009 Team members are already fundraising!

It's never too early to get started:

Three teenagers are already fundraising to go on a Mission International team to Africa in 2009. Rheagan Donaldson, Christie Shearer and Alison Ewan heard a few months ago that there was a possibility of them joining a mission team in 2009 and that was enough to get them started on their programme of fundraising. The three 'Amigos' are planning ahead as they set about making and selling cards and necklaces as well as washing cars and the like in order that they can get their team costs gathered together. They are exactly the kind of team members Mission International is trying to locate. They are keen, committed and have their faith firmly focused on God who they believe will help them in their fundraising efforts. We wish these youngsters every success as they work hard towards their target.

Called and sent:
Many Christians around the world feel called to serve God in a country far from their home. Their calling is not in dispute and their fervour for God and His people undoubted, however the finance to send them is not available to them. Some come from homes and communities which do not share their passion for the lost and some come from a situation where finances are limited. Your support in terms of sponsorship can change all of that. You may be someone who is passionate about mission but for whatever reason you cannot travel to an overseas mission field. However you may be able to assist someone else fulfil their calling to serve God abroad.

Romans 10:13-15 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

Teams set to travel:

Mission International teams prepare to go!

After a training event hosted in Glasgow, where Mission International teams received information about their trip which will stand them in good stead as they prepare to go on mission, the excitement mounts for everyone. The teams, one to Burundi and the other to India, will be involved in a variety of activities such as evangelism, project work and kids ministry. Everyone was fully briefed about their hosts, the culture and what they would need to take with them during the training. Volunteers from the church prepared food for the group for which everyone was very grateful. This kind of home support should not be underestimated since it makes the whole process possible.
