missions @ st. paul's

Jesus asks all believers to share the faith with others (evangelism) and to care for the poor (outreach). These two activities are priorities for us at St. Paul’s. In addition to what you may undertake as an individual, there are some special projects we undertake as a congregation.

The attached is a written reflection from one of the youth who went to Guatemala this summer.

  • Within Pickering and the Greater Toronto Area, the congregation of St. Paul’s is actively involved in a wide variety of local outreach programs.
  • Internationally, St. Paul’s supports missionaries in the field involved in the Lord’s work in the Philippines, Guatemala, Mexico, Haiti, and Kenya
  • Missions are a key part of the St. Paul’s experience and for the past few years, we have sent out teams to different countries including Mexico, Guatemala and Belize.
  • St. Paul's has long had connections with the church and people in Africa. A new mission planned for the summer of 2007 is part of call to Kenya.
  • For those staying unable to travel overseas, there is lots you can do to help the mission.
    • pray for the team
    • financially support them, or the "container" that will be sent ahead of the team with items needed by the churches of Bungoma and Niarobi
    • Donate old (but servicable) bicycles for the container. Pastors and others who need to get around are in dire need of robust bikes for which replacement parts are not too difficult to find.


 

Mission and outreach is a local and world wide opportunity to share the love of God with those around us.
