Missions and Ministry (M&M)

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve others…” Mark 10:45 (NLT)

This unique ministry makes an effort to show the love of Jesus and share the good news of salvation through various ministry opportunities and mission projects. We believe that when you show you care, you earn the right to share. If you are interested in helping with this ministry, contact the lead team members, Brenda Mercer and Amy Lester.

Backpacking Party

We need volunteers to help get all the items together and in order according to age and type, so if you are willing to help with this fun event, contact Brenda Mercer at brenda.mercer@negaresa.org.

Wednesday night, November 1, 2017 at 6:30pm all GA’s and RA’s, youth and adults that are volunteering to help out will pack the backpacks together.  Last year it was very organized and the backpacks were packed up and ready to go in no time at all. So, come and get in on the fun of picking out items to go into the backpacks. Each child needs an adult to help them pack the correct amount of items in the backpacks.
