Global Missions
The Buzz

Reaching the world takes the effort of everyone, not just those on the field.

Knowing our missionaries and national partners well, and how to pray and encourage them appropriately, requires time and energy. Your presence to hear and learn from them while they are in-country is a HUGE encouragement, even when financial support isn’t possible.

This page will be updated regularly with information on who’s in town and how you can be engaged in Memphis or around the world.
