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 2011-2012 is Judy Griffin. She serves in Ghana with Beacon House Orphanage. Below are some letters and photos from her time in Ghana.

You can read about her experience with Beacon House Orphanage by clicking on the links below.
