Home and Foreign Mission

Home and Foreign Mission purpose is to train, educate, and develop believers young and old in mission work.  The purpose of the Home and Foreign Mission is to get  people ready for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Our lessons demonstrate how we are to use our knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to win lost souls to Christ.  The Home and Foreign Mission is not only for the missions field, but also in-house missions.  Missions work has to be done both in our church home and in or mission field.  Our home is where mission starts.  We must seek a relationship with Christ in our home, in our church and in our community.
