Two members of our church are serving on the mission field and are in need of our support. Courtney Anding is serving in Greece, and Bro. Clyde Fowler and family are serving in Brazil. Both are capable, faithful missionaries and are dependent on the support of believers in order to stay on the mission field and continue their ministries. Please prayerfully consider giving to them (above your usual tithe). If you write their name on your check or envelope, we will pass it on to them. God bless!
