WHY WE CARE ABOUT GLOBAL MINISTRIES OF MERCY
As a church, we are called to look beyond our own community and neighborhood and to the nations - to the world as a whole. We long for the gospel of Jesus Christ to advance to the very ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14).
We are compelled to global mercy because of the mercy we ourselves have received. When Jesus called his disciples to be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8), we, as 21st century Americans are those ends of the earth. Historically, we have heard and believed, we have been served and cared for well in the name of Jesus because people from other nations took Jesus’ mandate to heart. In turn, we keep our eyes open to the great needs of our world today and prayerfully look for opportunities to send and support the work God is doing globally.
We are honored to be partnering with the ministries listed below to advance the gospel throughout the world.
Josh & Megan Herring | DiscipleMakers
With the goal of raising up the next generation of leaders for the Church, DiscipleMakers seeks to train college students in Bible study, Gospel-driven discipleship, and evangelism. Having experienced the effectiveness of campus ministry in their own walks with the Lord, Josh and Megan Herring have a deep desire to make Jesus known to students.
Josh and Megan have the joy of serving with DiscipleMakers at Lafayette & Muhlenberg Colleges. While on campus, Josh builds relationships with students, teaches the Scriptures, and furthers the Savior's command to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19). Megan, who serves in a volunteer role, engages with students in unique ways and welcomes them into their home with warmth and care. The Herrings eagerly anticipate the ways the Lord will use this time to glorify Himself in the Lehigh Valley.
