Missions

Pray. Risk. Repeat.

At Home & Abroad

In response to the command of Christ to “Go into all the world…”, Life Changers Church has always been keenly interested in mission work, at home and abroad. Though Life Changers Church recognizes that missions work begins at home and seeks to encourage each Christian to be involved, it also seeks to encourage vision and action that sends her members to the four corners of the world as part of fulfilling Jesus Christ’s Great Commission mandate.

Short Term Missions Experience

Short-term mission experiences are an important part of the ministry of Life Changers Church. From time-to-time, we sponsor short term mission experiences to different locations to bless both the participants and recipients of ministry.

These experiences promote spiritual growth, provide education about missions in general, and provide opportunities for Christian service and potentially challenge participants to consider God’s calling on their life. The experiences also provide a unique and lasting opportunity to build and experience community among those that participate.

Missions Committee

It is the purpose of the Missions Committee, under the leadership of the Elders, to encourage obedience to this command in the daily life of the congregation. The Missions Committee is responsible for making known various opportunities of service, for evaluating those who express an interest, and for assessing how Bethany Chapel can continue to support those actively serving in missions. The Committee is accountable to inform the congregation of the work being done so that we may all give praise to God for His work.

Feel free to contact the Missions Committee members:

  • Kirstyn Mackie

  • Bruce Raddatz

  • Tom Ramsay

  • Lyle Simpson (Chair)

  • Chelsea Thiessen

What is Kingdom Friendship

Kingdom Friendships is a relatively new initiative that creates partnerships between Canadian churches and Wycliffe projects worldwide. In our case, this is a relationship between Life Changers Church Foundation, an organization that is involved in scripture use, Bible translation, literacy, and mobilizing the local church as well as missionaries from the local and surrounding areas.  Life Changers’ involvement in this will enable Wycliffe Thai to extend their reach into these project areas by providing them additional resources, prayer, support and sharing of ideas.  Kingdom Friendships, once executed, provides the framework for short-term missions to have long-term impact and measurable results. 

BETHANY CHAPEL AND WYCLIFFE THAILAND

The Kingdom Friendship team continues to work with Wycliffe Thailand to explore opportunities where individuals and teams might engage with the excellent work being done to reach the lost for Christ. Please continue to pray for the Bethany’s Kingdom Friendship team as well as those who serve together in Thailand.

Please contact Lyle Simpson if you have any questions about our Kingdom Friendship at surfnslopes (at) yahoo.com or 403-701-9090.
