BACK OF BULLETIN: CVBC Missions & Outreach
If you are a Christian, then missions/outreach is your calling! Jesus has called us to go and make disciples of all nations and has entrusted this to churches like ours. At CVBC, we seek to proclaim the message of Jesus to those near and far.
Missions:
· Stay Updated: We currently support 17 missionaries globally. These missionaries serve from Minneapolis to the Middle East. Our CVBC missions committee stays informed of all the updates and needs of our missionaries. You can receive these updates and information in two ways:
* Read the personal letters at the Missions wall in the lobby.
* Join the missions e-mail group by texting CVBC to 84576 and choose the cvbc-missions group from the list.
· Pray: Pray for the lost in your life and all of the requests from our missionaries! The Lord loves to hear the prayers for salvation for those near and far.
· Give: By giving regularly to CVBC, you are giving directly to these 17 missionaries and their ministries around the world!
