Missionaries
Each month we pray for Missionaries that we support:
Church of Niger
Evangelical Church of Niger is engaging in several regions of Niger including Tahoua, Diffa & Dosso. The church’s strategy in the country which has a population that is 99% Muslim, includes sending small teams to villages in order to witness to their faith. Currently, this is done through the Jesus film, medical work and follow-up lessons in discipleship, but other means may be used in the future. Funds are needed to purchase evangelism materials and to support travel expenses of evangelists. We started supporting this ministry in 2008 when PCUSA/Reformed missionary Tom Johnson discontinued his PCUSA affiliation and recommended we transfer our support to the National Church of Niger. We support this church through the PC(USA) Mission Agency.
Kings & Queens Local
KINGS & QUEENS LOCAL (KQL) is a non-profit that strives to support local foster &/or adoptive families. They started supporting local families in October 2016 and with the support of the community have been able to grow their mission over the years. Some of the ways they support local families are through their free resource closet (Kaden’s Kloset: Okoboji), monthly support group gatherings, and providing meals to families in transition. Tina VandeHoef is the Executive Director.
