Missions Emphasis Week
MEW promotes global awareness, relationships, opportunities, and service. Come experience culture as you indulge in new foods and connect with missionaries to find out what is happening around the world and how you can be a part of it.
Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.
