Go LocalLY
Midland Free’s GoLocal outreach targets our local and regional efforts, while our GoGlobal program targets sharing the good news of God’s offer of salvation through faith in Christ to the ends of the earth.
Go Globally, Next Door
Today, your neighbor or co-worker could be someone from the other side of the world, potentially from a different culture, religion or even an unreached people group. The “ends of the earth” has come to our backyard! Intentionally getting to know your neighbors and prayer walking are great places to start.
Short-Term Mission Trips
Midland Free offers short-term mission trips for youth and adults. Such trips can impact your perspective of the world and encourage your spiritual growth in a accelerated time frame. Yet the most significant benefits include:
- Short-term trips can help you see how much the world needs Jesus.
- Many short-term trips can help you understand poverty as complex and a result of broken relationship rather than a lack of material possessions.
- Short-term trips can prepare your heart for future ministry.
Be watching for announcements for future short-term mission trip opportunities.
Long-Term Missionary Candidates
Midland Free is committed to “Sending our Own.” Over the years, dozens of our members have gone overseas as partners in the gospel. If you believe God may be calling you to missionary service, Midland Free has a candidate development process to help you discern your calling and prepare you for service. Contact the GoGlobal Leadership Team to begin a conversation.
