Mission in Action - Mission Presbytery

Welcome - Bienvenidos

Welcome to the Mission in Action web site. This is a new adventure for the Mission, Outreach and Service Division (MOSD) of Mission Presbytery. We hope that this will greatly facilitate communication across our Presbytery on matters of mission outreach. We want to keep you informed about what MOSD is doing, conferences and events you might be interested in, and what particular churches are doing in their mission programs – what works – and, maybe, what doesn’t. Our aim is to serve churches in their efforts to proclaim the love of Christ through ministry to others.

Please let us know what you would like to see on this site. You can contact the Communications Ministry Team. (See “Contact us” in the right column.) Share with us your success stories and new ideas.

It is exciting to think that people interested in mission within our huge presbytery will have a way to keep up with each other’s activities and opportunities in the wider church. We pray that we will serve you well though this site and thus serve our Lord.

Are you a Point Person?

We have asked each church to send us the name of a "point person," perhaps the mission committee chairman or someone else with a passion for the mission of the Church. We hope that this volunteer will look at this site at least once or twice a month to see what is new. Occasionally we will directly e-mail the point person of news that is urgent. For instance, during the first days of the Tsunami crisis we could have put people in touch with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). Many Presbyterians are unaware of how efficient, responsible and networked our PDA is. During those first days, PDA, through its partners in Southeast Asia, was able to get assistance out almost immediately. In such a case, we would get in touch with the point persons immediately and suggest what action to take. To volunteer as the point person for your congregation, please write myongsook@aol.com.
