Mission Emphasis Week

MEW promotes global awareness, relationships, opportunities, and service. Come experience culture as you indulge in new foods and connect with missionaries to find out what is happening around the world and how you can be a part of it.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
