2018 MISSION PROJECTS
Below is a list of approved mission projects for this year. There may be more added as the need may arise. Please pray about your role in these opportunities and give as you see fit.
After working at the warehouse for Operation Christmas Child last November, we would like to expand Faulks involvement in this ministry. The initial goal will be to pack 100 boxes. We hope to accomplish this by collecting items throughout the year culminating in a church wide packing night in November before boxes are due to the UBA. After spending time in the warehouse, we’ve come up with a list of appropriate items and would like to collect based on the schedule below. Monetary gifts are appreciated at any time as they will assist in covering shipping costs for the boxes. PLEASE REMEMBER, ALL ITEMS MUST FIT IN THE STANDARD SHOEBOX!
