Summer Missions 2025

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” 

(Matt. 28:19 NKJV)

We are so excited for the upcoming summer mission teams going out! This summer we will have teams on three different continents sharing the love of God and serving the needy and down trodden. Below you will find out more information about Uganda, Kenya, Ecuador, Israel, West Asia and South Asia. 

Uganda & Kenya

Hope Children's Home, Hopeland Junior School, & Spoken Word

Pastor Dave Johnson will be leading a team of five adults and five teenagers to Uganda and Kenya this June. In Uganda, we’ll assist Arthur and Lydia at Hope Children's Home, an orphanage our fellowship has supported for many years. Their needs are many — repairs, bedding, mattresses, and especially water. Due to city water cuts, we're looking into drilling a borehole, which, though more expensive than digging, provides cleaner, more reliable water.


We also plan to complete the Calvary Hall at Hopeland Junior School — a much-needed space for chapels, exams, and community gatherings. While there, we’ll teach Bible stories and introduce the staff to Simply the Story methods, with the goal of conducting a full workshop in the future.


After Uganda, our team will head to Kakuma, northern Kenya, to assist the Spoken Word Center. During the day, we'll travel in pairs with translators to share the Gospel in Turkana villages. At night, we’ll show The God Story and Jesus films. We also hope to launch a goat program to help impoverished families rebuild their herds after devastating losses. We intend to purchase about 100 - 200 goats. This will allow us to give each small village about 10 goats to share and raise. With no herds to sell there is no food and no money. The Spoken Word center has continually tried to supply some food but it is not enough. We hope that the goat program will be the begining of some relief.

Israel

Simply The Story Workshops

Alan and Naomi Tan will be heading to Israel in June to lead Simply the Story workshops in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Pastor Dave Johnson had the privilege of encouraging ministries there last September, and it’s thrilling to see the fruit continuing to grow. Jon Davidsen, a worker we support, sent the following message, “Hey guys, since pastor Dave came out here we’ve been using STS more in different contexts and people have expressed interest in a workshop.” Equipping believers in Israel with this Bible study method is an exciting part of the Kingdom work. Alan and Naomi will help lead STS workshops in Jerusalem and Northern Tel Aviv.
