Feel free to come and go for any of the sessions you choose. The ladies at FBC Hillsboro continue to be on mission for Christ and are seeking to serve Him by reaching out to a lost and hurting world. One of our state Missouri WMU Board members, Mrs. Vickie Bouska, has just felt led to join the Kenya mission team and Hillsboro’s WMM will be helping with finances for the trip. Providing prayer and monetary support for missions is a big part of what WMU is about within the church, learning about and doing missions is also important. GA’s and Youth on Mission meet on Wednesday evenings and focus on missions education and on hearing and responding to God’s call for our lives. Fellowship and relations have been strengthened by participation in “Righteous Red-Hat Road Trips,” “Sleepless in September Slumber Parties,” “Outrageous October Outings,”“Seasonal Shopping Soirées” and our latest potato-themed multi-generational activites: C.H.I.P.S., (Our Church In Prayer For Students) and S.P.U.D.S., (Student Prayer Uplifting Disciples in Secret). Mission Trips to Colorado, South Dakota and downtown St. Louis give women and youth the opportunity to focus completely, 24/7, on a mission field “ready for the harvest” by ministering to people, one-on-one, the way Jesus himself did. Groups from the church also regularly attend associational, regional, state and national training conferences and meetings to become better equipped to minister to the needs of women and to more fully develop a missions life-style. Their mantra has been: “God doesn’t always call the equipped, but He always equips the called.” |
