Missions
The following is a list of the programs of the church and any information I have found.
Juarez, Mexico: This is a yearly trip to Ciudad Juarez (Just across the border from El Paso). The church has set up a building there so the community can come and seek medical attention. There are several dorms that church groups use throughout the summer. They stay a week and build a house for a family.
Their sister church, JL Zwane in Guguletu, South Africa:
Another sister church in South India:
The Stewpot Homeless center across the street: Started when an employee gave a homeless man a can of soup the Stewpot not only gives food it also gives free voicemail, art programs, and healthcare. A program within the Stewpot called the Gun-buy-back takes people's guns and gives them a little money in return.
Make A Difference Day: Annually on April 22 hundreds of members go out and help the community. Ativities have included painting, organizing the church's two libraries, polishing silver, stuffing animals for Children's Medical Center, and a charity walk.
