Our church supports Paul Webster, a missionary in Mujilla Falls, Zambia. He is a minister and rural economic development specialist. His projects promote major programs in education, health, sustainable and appropriate agriculture, community, evangelism, and church construction. He teaches skills that enable the local people to become self sufficient and care for their land. Our commitment has been $2,500 yearly towards his salary. As a church, Paul's ministry affords us the chance to be a part of a mission that we know is effective and life changing.

Our local church has a focus on missions. Some of the projects we have supported in the past:

Assembling flood buckets
Making school bags with school supplies for children in Haiti
Providing layettes for babies in Africa
Sponsoring a vitamin project for children in India
Collecting money to buy bikes for pastors in Africa
