Matthew 10:42, NIV
"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward."
For the past eight years we have held the annual Christmas Love Mission. Each year we see a variety of volunteers come together to prepare gift bags and cookies and then distribute them to people in the local area.
​
​For 2024 we will be expanding the love mission and partnering with Everyone's Welcome Church in Salineville and the Lisbon Assembly of God Church in Lisbon to serve even more people throughout Columbiana County. We will gathering on December 22nd to visit those who may not have anyone else to visit them. We will be bringing cookies, hot chocolate, caroling, and having fellowship. If you would like to be a part of the team let us know by sending a message via our Contact Us page.
Mark 16:15-16a, NLT
"And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved."
​1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
​
When we turn on the television or radio or when we look through social media or the newspaper we see many tragedies that happen all over the world. Many prayer are made when these things happen. But, when someone out there loses a loved one to death, losses their job, has a child who is very sick, or experiences a broken heart we may not notice. However, somewhere out there, someone is dealing with these things and above all other things, they need to know that God knows what they are experiencing and He cares for them and loves them.
God had led our hearts and given us the passion to perform a love letter mission. We are praying and committed to sending a letter which tells the recipient about the love that God has for them and also contains a prayer to people who we do not know. Just because we do not know who they are does not mean that they do not need to experience the love of Christ, and we are blessed to be able to share it with them. To start this mission we sent out 100 letters to people who we do not know and we are continuing to send more letters each week. Would you like to spread the love of Christ by sending a letter to someone as well? If this is something you feel led to do, seek the Lord and follow His lead!
