Each year, the Mission and Evangelism Committee selects and adopts a missionary (or missionary family) to pray for, learn from, interact with, and support financially. Our intent is to support the sharing of the gospel, learn about the church in other places of the world, and being intentional about giving support to mission workers.

Our adopted missionary for the 2009-2010 year is Hannah Holtgeerts, who is serving with Christ for the City International in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Hannah's blog, containing daily updates can be found at www.costaricanhannah.blogspot.com/.
