2025 Missions
Colombia, South America
Richard Fredendall (Jefferson City) and Nacho Bram (Marshfield) will be making a mission trip to Colombia, South America from July 3-15, 2025. They will be working with congregations in Monteria and Tulua in the Medellin area. A local team of ministers and other members will be working with them. They will speak to groups and teach individual bible studies as time permits. Richard is requesting your prayers and support for an effective mission effort to reach out to the lost and strengthen the churches there.
Money has been raised to cover planned expenses for this trip, but if you would like to help financially, additional funds can be used to provide bibles to locals or to support some of the small churches involved. If you would like to contribute, mark your check memo line with "Colombia Mission" and place it in the contribution box or give it to Rob Morrison, Andrew Wheeler or Glenn Studebaker.
