"Go Ye Into All the World"

Short-term Mission’s Trips

     WOBC would like to have one short term mission’s trip per year. Some trips in the past were to the Navajos in Arizona, a Christian camp in Quebec, a school for the deaf in Jamaica, and Hurricane Katrina relief in New Orleans. If you are interested in being a part of an upcoming trip, please contact the church.

     In October, 2010 we will be taking a missions trip to help at a school for children of the Hopi tribe in Arizona. We plan to help with work projects, aid in the classrooms, and possibly do an eye clinic and present the Walk Thru the Bible Old Testament Seminar to both the children and adults. There is a job for everyone! If you are interested in obtaining information about the dates and costs, please contact the church.

March for Missions

   During the month of March, WOBC plans special events to educate about global disciple-making. In 2010 we will primarily be focusing on local (stateside) missions, although we will also be learning about how God is working worldwide.

  • We encourage everyone to attend the Youth For Christ banquet on March 6 (contact the church for details).
  • We will have our own Missions Dinner on March 14 at noon. 
  • Friday, March 19, we will meet at the Laurens Central School and cheer on our Awana children as they race their pinewood derby cars.
  • On Sunday, March 21, Paul Holt, one of our missionaries who works with InterVarsity will join us for both the Worship Service and Sunday School.
