The BTPC Mission Team will share God's Word in view of their experiences of spreading God's love by feeding hungry bodies and souls.

THE STEWPOT
SERVING SECOND CHANCES

Sunscreens, ball caps, bottles of water, bags of peanuts, deodorants, bug sprays, bottles of Gatorade, bags of sunflower seeds and etc.
 
ALL CHURCH MISSION TRIP

 

Please pray for our Mission Team in Little Rock, AR and they serve the LORD and those in need by working at the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Center, and other local missions and agencies, all while growing in faith and community and building bonds with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

 

But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.                                                                     1 Samuel 12:24
