#MeetOurMissionFocus is back this Monday with our #MeetOurMissionFocus is back this Monday with our Getaway Weekend Mission Organization, Mosaic Ministries! The goal of Mosaic Ministries of South Toledo is to share the gospel and make disciples in Toledo’s south end. They do this by first supplying the physical and emotional needs for the poorest of the poor by providing meals, food distribution, education, prayer, counseling, etc. After they help provide some stabilization in their lives, they find that people are more receptive to hearing about the Lord and the Good News He offers. The opportunity is as great as the need. Learn more about Mosaic Ministries during their weekend at Maranatha 2020! #Vacationwithpurpose #Maranatha2020Getawayweekend

#MeetOurMissionFocus is here with Week Nine's miss #MeetOurMissionFocus is here with Week Nine's mission SonSet Solutions! At SonSet Solutions, they believe that each of us should be actively involved in sharing the good news of new life through Jesus Christ. Technology provides us today with an unprecedented number of ways for engaging people in conversations about who Jesus is and what he has done. Hundreds of other organizations are also reaching out to their neighborhoods, cities, and countries with God’s message of hope. Many of them depend on technology to carry out their mission. But, they may not have their own engineer, IT specialist or troubleshooting technician. Every year, SonSet Solutions stands in the gap for more than 100 different ministries spread across the globe in dozens of countries. It is their privilege by way of technical assistance to help put feet to the visions of our ministry partners. SonSet Solutions are equipping them with tools, information, and support services that will help them be effective.

#MeetOurMissionFocus is here with Our Week Five Mi #MeetOurMissionFocus is here with Our Week Five Mission DOOR International!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ DOOR began work in sign language Bible translation in 2006. They have worked with teams from 16 language groups, with more translation projects beginning each year. These translations are authorized Scripture, just as the New International Version or English Standard Version are. The goal is that, one day soon, every Deaf person will have access to God’s life-changing word in his or her heart sign language.⠀ ⠀ DOOR believes that the best people to reach Deaf for Christ are Deaf believers. They help recruit and train pairs of Deaf leaders from the local community to form what they call “2-by-2 teams.” These teams, comprised of an evangelist and a teacher, are equipped with a translation of God’s Word in sign language and biblical training. The goal is a model of church planting that is Deaf-led, reproducible, and sustainable.⠀ ⠀ Learn more about DOOR International during their week at Marantha Summer 2020⠀⠀ #Vacationwithpurpose #maranathaweekfive2020
