Faith Promise Plan for Missionary Giving
El Vista supports missionaries at home and around the world. Through generous giving, we currently help support many missions such as Bible Tracts ministry, Jewish Evangelism, and church planting missionaries in hopes of reaching others for Christ. Frequent missionary speakers and an annual Missionary Conference in October keep our hearts concerned for the lost around the world.
Please remember to pray for our missionaries.
Mission of the Week: Carter - LBM
Remember to pray for our missionaries of the week listed in the church bulletin and for help filling our Missionary Closet. A list of items is always available through the Missionary Closet link. Several highlighted items are always in need and especially before our missions conference in October.

Connect with some of our Missionary Friends
On a missions trip to China, Joe asked Yongni, a Chinese national what he would do first when he got to Heaven. "That's easy," he replied. "I'll look for Jesus and thank Him for giving His life so I could be in Heaven. After that I'll find the missionary who told me about Jesus. I'll thank him for leaving his home country and his family and friends and coming to a strange culture to tell me the good news of the Gospel. I will find every person who ever gave to support that missionary - every man who gave his hard-earned money, every child who emptied his piggy bank, every widow who sacrificially went without, every Christian in every church who gave in any way to support the missionary who brought me the Gospel. I will search Heaven until I find every one of them."
