Missions Emphasis Week
MEW promotes global awareness, relationships, opportunities, and service. Come experience culture as you indulge in new foods and virtually connect with missionaries to find out what is happening around the world and how you can be a part of it.
It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6
