One of the goals of the Missions Committee is to educate ourselves, as well as the congregation, about missions. We also encourage the congregation to keep all missionaries, as well as persecuted Christians, in prayer. The “Missions Corner” in the weekly bulletin presents a particular need each week as well as a feature about one of the missionaries we consistently support that we ask the congregation to focus their prayer on each month.
The leadership of the church places great value upon passing along the blessing that we have received so that the Lord might be worshiped and glorified among all people groups. The great commission is the heartbeat of LHCC. Consequently, fifteen percent of our weekly operating budget is allocated for missions.
We financially support six mission organizations/missionaries throughout the year by sending them regular quarterly payments. The philosophy of the committee has been to provide financial support to varied organizations. They presently include a messianic and a two local outreaches, two foreign missions, and the Bible League. It is our aim to develop a relationship with these individuals. To this end, we maintain communication with them, pray for their specific needs and invite them or a representative to visit with us annually. These organizations/individuals are listed below and we encourage you to click each link and learn a little more about how they are serving God in each of their ministries:
Harmony Women’s Care RI (formerly CareNet RI)
Pioneers – North Africa
We also support missionaries from our church, we periodically support other mission needs that are presented to us from the church family, hold educational events to help others learn more about missions at LHCC, and arrange church visits from our missionaries to share what has been happening in their ministries.
If you have a desire to learn more about the missionaries we support or missions in general any member of our missions team would be happy to spend some time talking with you!
