Mission Committee
The Pilgrim Missions Committee has a burden for missionaries that have to raise their own support to stay in the mission field and fulfill their calling. We currently support around twelve missions monthly, and if we have sufficient funds, we have a list of others that we distribute to. The costs for our missionaries is constantly on the rise, so any help we can give is greatly appreciated.
