Judea

“ . . . and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, JUDEA, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”

As we accept the Acts 1:8 Challenge, our Jerusalem – the Cape Girardeau area must be reached, but we also need to reach our Judea to fulfill the Great Commission. What is our Judea? Is it Missouri? or Missouri & Illinois? Or Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee & Arkansas? With nationwide cell plans, the Internet, and the ease of transportation, we have defined our Judea as Missouri, the Christian Activity Center in E. St. Louis, and Appalachian Outreach in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

How does our Mission Vision include our Judea? Later this year, we will continue our partnership with the Christian Activity Center (CAC) through the Adopt-a-Child Christmas gifts for the children at the center. Next year we will continue building our relationship with the CAC by taking a Judgement House mission trip to E. St. Louis. Also we will return next year to Appalachian Outreach to continue building relationships and assisting in their ministry.

Opportunities to serve are also available through our Disaster Relief teams to those in need at times of tragedy. By meeting their immediate physical needs, we gain the right and the access to meet their spiritual needs.

There are over 5.7 million people in the State of Missouri with an estimated 48.3% being either unchurched or lost. One-half of all Missourians are lost & will spend eternity without Christ if we do not Go & Tell! We need to be in a state of concern for the Show-Me State!

We were ‘made for a mission’ to ‘reach one more for Jesus!’ Are you praying for God to show you how you can accept the Acts 1:8 Challenge here in Judea? If not, will you?
