Mission Outreach Here and Abroad
At Living Word, we firmly believe that we are called to love and care for those around us. Christ
called on the Church to be His hands and feet, so we pray that the Holy Spirit will grant us the grace and
strength to do just that. Working both locally and internationally, we support the larger mission of the church,
charity organizations, sister congregations, and our sister synod in Sierra Leone.
If you are interested in getting more connected to the mission work at Living Word, consider how your spiritual gifts
match our many missions.
Living Word built an entire school in Sierra Leone. As of June, 2008 it was completed.
The project consists of a 4-classroom building that can accommodate up to 200 students. The above photo shows the students prior to the start
construction.
Living Word working with the Marion Medical Mission funded over 20 new water wells in Africa. These water
wells are used to give fresh water to entire villages - up to 1,000 people in some places.
