Our missionaries can feel isolated from fellow believers and even find themselves under spiritual attack. It is important for them to know that the local church is standing with them. When one “adopts” a 14:6 missionary, they will have the privilege of regularly praying for them and being a source of encouragement.
After you adopt a missionary, the IMPACT Missions team at 14:6 will send you a packet about your missionary with a list of suggestions on how you (and your family or Life Group) can be an encouragement.
Our hope is that you will commit to regularly pray for your missionary and send the occasional email or card. What a blessing this will be to our missionaries!
Pastor Pat, together with our Elder Board, sensed a clear and compelling
leading of the Holy Spirit to both invest in and be invested in the nation
of Costa Rica. Since joining in partnership with Pastor Chris Arista,
Associate and Worship Pastor Danny Hernandez and their dedicated
team, this burden has grown into a unified vision now known as the
COSTA RICA CHURCH PLANT INITIATIVE.
