Missions

"Go Therefore And Make Disciples Of All The Nations, Baptizing Them In The Name Of The Father And The Son And The Holy Spirit" ~ Matthew 28:19

 Our Missionaries

  • Executive Director/Evangelist/Pastor sent by LCC to ETeamGlobal

    For the past 19 years, Chris has been serving God’s kingdom internationally and in local church leadership by equipping, serving and proclaiming the Gospel. He has led or served on mission trips and in evangelistic roles in 20 countries across five continents. His family recently moved to Dayton, Ohio, in order to be closer to his family.

         Chris serves as the Executive Director of Eteam Global. This past year, Eteam Global trained leaders in Nigeria, Slovakia, Rwanda and a number of other countries. In 2025 he plans to travel to Canada, Slovakia, and Mongolia. He is also praying regarding doing some evangelistic training in a few local churches in Dayton.

  •    Nick is a member of Cru’s Athletes in Action whose mission is to see Christ-followers in every sport, on every team, and in every nation. He is based in Colorado Springs and works with university athletes to help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus, build them up in their faith, and send them out equipped to be life-long ministers of the Gospel.

       Last year he traveled with athletes and coaches as a sports chaplain and educator. He used this as a means of sharing the Gospel. In 2025 he plans to travel to Togo where he will help coaches to see that training the total athlete (mind, body, and soul) trains people to face challenges and answers life’s most important questions.

  • David & Denise Moore are serving as Field Coordinators in Eastern Indonesia with the Wycliffe Bible Translators Global Partnerships team. They are helping to provide support and assistance for a number of different translation projects via a remote assignment based out of Hillsboro. David traveled to Indonesia twice last year and will travel there again this year to help local partners, churches, and language communities start and manage Bible translations.

        God’s Word is powerful! Sadly, millions of people around the world don’t have access to the Bible in a language they understand. Wycliffe is working in partnership with churches around the world to help eliminate Bible poverty. Their goal in 2025 is to have a Bible translation in progress in each of the remaining 800 languages that do not have a Bible in their mother tongue.

Laurel Church Is Dedicated To Missions:

Making disciples is the backbone of any church body.  Just before Christ ascended into heaven He commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and to teach them to obey everything He commanded us to do.  A necessary and important part of making disciples is Missions.  Therefore, we at Laurel seek to glorify God through the support and the encouragement of missionaries who preach the gospel in the United States and abroad.

There Are Several Ways To Support Laurel’s Missionaries:

  • Pray for Them

  • Communicate with them by e-mail or letters.

  • Show hospitality to them when they are in our area.

  • Give financially to support them.
