Global Outreach
"Sharing Christ's Gospel with the World."
Mission Outreach is the opportunity that Christ gives each of us to change lives for Him while compassionately meeting the needs of others.
By focusing on international mission and being actively involved through prayer, personal service and giving, members of the Marine View family can make a spiritual difference for people around the world.
Following Jesus' commission to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19), these organizations, projects and mission workers will be strengthened through your support.
"And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message...", (Colossians 4:3).
