Missions pastors and directors from across the PCA came together in Atlanta September 22-23 for the second annual meeting. We had nearly 25 men and women present for the two-day event during which we exchanged ideas, shared experiences & lessons learned, and prayed for one another. Several helpful ideas came out of this time for both the missions leaders and for us.

We are already planning next year’s forum, in September, 2009. This time is for vocational (church staff) missions leaders. Contact us with any questions you may have.

If you are a medical professional licensed in the state of Georgia, MTW’s Medical Ministry has opportunities for you to make a difference close to home—in your own backyard.
