Mission: Global Outreach
In addition to our local mission efforts and our Shared Support of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) overseas mission work our Heritage family directly supports a number of international mission efforts to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to other nations.
Africa - Malawi
On May 28th Heritage hosted a Missions Night featuring Rev. Debbie Chase, Dean of Academic Affairs and lecturer at the University of Livingstonia, College of Theology, a seminary of the Synod of Livingstonia, Church of Central Africa Presbyterian. In a region where the member to minister ratio is 5,800 to 1, training pastors is a critical need. Heritage answered the call to help and provided $3,000 for a one year scholarship for a seminarian at the University of Livingstonia, College of Theology.
Brazil - Sertao Project
$1,000 was provided for this Outreach Foundation of the Presbyterian Church ministry that supports the purchase of land and construction for worship of Christian education centers, as well as for leadership training.
India - Rev. Joshua Inbakumar
Heritage provided $1,000 for the ministry of Rev. Joshua Inbakumar in southern India. The Miriam Communications & Resource Ministries (MCRM) of Good Will Trust, India, is a Christian Education ministry in India. Its purpose is to train and provide resources to Sunday School teachers in the rural communities of India. Heritage has supported this ministry since 2003.
India - Ruth House
Heritage provided $1,000 in support to this ministry that educates the poor and needy children in Tamil Nadu, India.
Shepherd Project (Mexico Mission)
Mexico Mission Trips
For nine years, Heritage has partnered with Faith Ministry and the town of Miguel Aleman, Mexico, to provide housing, educational assistance and brotherly love to the families of this small border town. This partnership used to culminate in a summer mission trip each year, but due to the unfortunate violence currently in Mexico, our support in 2010 changed to one of long distance financial and prayer support. This year Heritage provided scholarships that enabled 8 children (6 girls and 2 boys) to attend school. Funding for these scholarships came from money raised for that purpose during our summer Vacation Bible School (56%) and from the Mexico Mission budget line. Heritage continued its support to the Mission Church in Miguel Aleman by sending $500 a month from August through December for a total of $2,500. It is our fervent prayer that it will one day be safe enough for us to return to our regular mission trips to Miguel Aleman.
