Missionaries to Africa

How wonderful it is when we respond in obedience to the Lord’s will for our lives. It is amazing to see how the Lord blesses and provides when we step out in faith and trust in Him. Maxel and Amanda have recently been called to serve as part of a short term mission’s team to Nigeria. They will depart January 10th and return on the 20th. While in Africa they’ll be working with local village youth, helping at a medical clinic, assist with small building projects and much more. As the Body of Christ we are called to work together in doing the work our Lord has called us to. Keep Maxel and Amanda in your prayers as they prepare to spend these ten days in service. Listed below are some of the needs they have for this trip. If the Lord so leads you to help please contact Mike Masonic at the Fellowship office.
