Missions Ministry

Ministry Leader: June Landrum

Christ told us to go into all the world and tell others about His Good News and to make disciples. We love our missionaries and we know their calling is to introduce people to Christ who haven’t had the opportunity as we have to know Him, and to grow in Christ so they can tell others about Him. We aren’t all called to be foreign missionaries – but we all are called to grow and sow where we’re planted and to assist those who are called and are willing to go.
When you contribute funds to Southwest Christian, you are also contributing to our missions projects: at least 15% of our general fund goes to support our missionaries and their work. The Missions Ministry Team stays in touch with all our missionaries. We plan local support events. We make annual mission budget recommendations to the elders, as well as other recommendations pertaining to our missionarie projects. We continually seek to know our missionaries personally and we consider our congregation to be their partners in accomplishing this vital work for the Kingdom. In addition to the Texas based Mission Ministries we suuport, we also support foreign missions, in Africa, in Asia, in Europe and in Mexico.
