It has been an exciting and challenging year in missions at South MacArthur. This year’s theme is “Blessed to Bless” (Numbers 20:23). The Mission Action Team and the elders have prayerfully considered where GOD is leading us and have developed a budget for 2010 that we feel is in accordance with His will.
The various mission opportunities we want to partner with have been presented in our Sunday assemblies and bulletins over the last few weeks. The following is how we are participating in GOD’s mission around the world.
