New Missionaries Building A Support Team!
H & K: have discerned along with the leadership of their home church, Jericho Ridge Community Church, that God is calling them into a life of cross-cultural ministry. H & K have completed MB Mission’s Missionary Training and Equipping (MTE) season. These next months will include a church planting internship and building a support team, in preparation for ministry in Asia. If you would like to get to know them, please contact the MB Mission office in Abbotsford.
A & R: have also recently completed MB Mission's MTE season. God has called this family to answer the call to “go”. Like H & K, A & R will complete a church planting internship, and will then work at building a support team. Their goal is to serve as long-term church planters in Central Asia. If you would like to get to know them more, consider inviting them to share with you or your church. Contact John Best for more info.

Need Help Clarifying your Mission Vision?
John Best has created a 5-hour interactive seminar that helps churches discover areas of mission calling for their unique church. Is there a type of ministry your church is naturally inclined toward? Is there a region of the world? Are there relationships already in place that you would like to engage more fully? What is your grid for discerning how to engage your mission resources? What is the Lord saying? These are the types of questions we will explore. Contact John for more info.
