MISSIONS MONTH

Yesterday we had our missionaries from Nigeria--the Fretheims with us. They head up City Ministries which serves the people of Jos, Nigeria in a number of ways. Some of these include free medical treatments, expanded prison ministries, more than 500 film outreaches and the development of Genesis Farms, which trains people to care for large gardens that provide food and income for the people of Jos.

They have also been involved with several church plants and have trained thousands of Nigerians for evangelism and church planting.  To learn more about their ministry please click HERE.
