Ethan West will be sharing how he and DeVyne get to be missionaries! Working with Overland Missions, their goal is to reach the lost and neglected people groups all over the world, and that means going into remote areas like Mwinilunga, Zambia. While we’re there, they will get to raise up disciplines long term by loving them and more importantly, showing them Jesus’ love for them! Men of NW MN come and join us in worship in song and prayer, Thursday evening in Grygla |
