2019 Mission Scholarship Fund
LEGACY & OPPORTUNITY
THE MISSION SCHOLARSHIP AND TRAINING FUND
Join us as we aim to raise $25,000 for mission trips and mission training this year!
Third has a strong legacy in local and global mission. There are many ways you can be involved even if you are not actually going out on the mission field. Some may be goers, some senders and others may advance mission work through prayer. Collectively, we are raising funds for two short-term mission trips this summer.
Third Church is returning to Port-au-Prince, Haiti this July to serve our partners at Haiti Outreach Ministries and Hope United. Our team of 35 includes doctors, nurses, and pharmacists that will practice in Cite Soliel, the poorest city in the Western Hemisphere. We'll also bring a construction team to work in nearby La Mer Frappee, and a VBS team to teach little ones about Christ at two additional locations. This is a deep, long standing relationship, and continues to be a fruitful opportunity to bring hope to one another.
The team needs approximately $15,000 for medicine and other medical supplies, construction materials (for home repairs) and VBS materials.
Each summer we want our students to experience God at work in them and through them with a trip meant to serve others. As the 2018 hurricane season brought so much destruction to the Carolinas we felt compelled to join God in what he’s doing through organizations in that area.
Our students will be working with Praying Pelican Missions doing home maintenance and cleanup, such as mucking and gutting as well as painting and landscaping in hopes of improving the quality of life of the residents. The students will also be working with local children, leading VBS-style activities.
Short-term mission trips expand the reach of our church beyond our geographic area. Please commit to pray for our teams and give generously as we raise funds to serve in Haiti and North Carolina.
