Word Missions

Why We Do Missions

Missions are a vital part of what we do here at Word. We do missions because we want to see the gospel spread to the entire world. We believe in doing mission on four major levels; local, state, national &  global. You will be my witness in both Jerusalem , and in all Judea and Samaria, even to the remotest part of the World - Acts 1:8
