Our Missions Team Purpose

We exist to promote, obey & pursue fulfillment of the Great Commission.“You will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and
in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  Acts 1:8
 

 Our Missions Team Philosophy

“Believing that Jesus has commissioned us to 
‘go and make disciples of all nations’ Matthew 28:19
 

 Our Missions Team Commitment

We tithe our church body's finacial collection to support our Missions team. The meaning of the
word “tithe” is “a tenth part.”  We hope to also set an example in generous, free will gift offerings
to missionaries and ministries, outside of livingWATERS, that are about fulfilling God’s great commission.

Mark & Sue Anderson with T4 Global

Mark began serving with Wycliffe in 2002 and has been in IT service in Texas since 2004. Recently, Mark felt God calliing him to move from Wicliffe to join a ministry called T4 Global.  A number of T4 Global's projects have been done in partnership with Wycliffe; therefore, they view this change as a continuation of the ministry they began when they joined Wycliffe. Mark will be serving as Director of Support Systems for T4 Global. Most missiologists agree 60-70 percent of the world's population does not read. These people are considered "oral learners". T4 Global uses the spoken word to communicate Biblical principles and community development information.

Bobby Hill (in white) in Nepal serving with  International Oureach Ministries

Bobby began travel to Tibet in 1986 and has now been there 25 times.  His desire to help Tibetans in any way he can has been a consuming force in his life.  We praise God for recent spiritual breakthrough in the Gorkha region, a remote part of Tibet and Nepal.  The Tsampa Literacy Center opened in November 2010 in the Tsum Valley area with help from new Tibetan believers and IOM.  This center will serve a community with a 10% literacy rate and an unemployment rate of 50%.  Teachers that are trained and equipped will teach Tibetan and Nepali to all ages.  A Bible training center is planned to be open in the near future.
