The Mission Team assists Messiah in knowing Christ to make Him known by equipping the congregation to reach out and share Jesus with all people through missions and serving relationships.
Christ tells us in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
The main objective of the Mission Team is to research and develop a variety of missions and serving opportunities for the congregation to reach out and share Jesus with others. These mission events will be focused on developing relationships with others who need to hear about Jesus and his great love and sacrifice for us.

Detailed Fact Sheet
LAMP Mission Trip
August 8-12 2012
A team from Messiah is going on a LAMP (Lutheran Association of Missionary Pilots) trip in August 2012. The team drove 23 hours to Southend Saskatchewan to a community of approximately 1,500 people, 700 of which are children. The average age of this community is 27 years old, with 50% of the population under the age of twelve. Life expectancy for the people in this area is in the late 40s. The team provided VBS to the children, and continue to build relationships among the community, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
See the information flyer.
Communication Blog
The LAMP team used a blog to communicate their mission trip activities as they prepare to go to Canada and during their trip. The goal is to have blog posts to share information with family, friends, prayer partners, and Messiah. Each member of the team is encouraged to make entries to share different perspectives. The blog address is http://lampmission.blogspot.com/.
The Carlos Family
Jack and Cathy Carlos are Network Supported Missionaries. This is the new fund-raising and missionary support model the LCMS church is using. All career missionaries are supported totally by churches and individuals. Their support no longer comes out of the general budget in St. Louis. Before being deployed to their field of service, each missionary must raise two years of support. Therefore, it is very important for churches to get involved in supporting missionaries to other areas of the world.
Jack and Cathy Carlos serve as missionaries in Guinea, West Africa to the Maninka people. Their children, Raymond and Hannah, attend school in the U.S. The Mission Team will help YOU become acquainted with this family through prayer, giving, and testimony. To learn more about the Carlos family visit them online at http://carlostribe.wordpress.com/about-us/.

The goal of Video Project is to equip and train Asian evangelists to make and distribute Christian videos in their own languages that concurrently promote the use of translated scriptures. Don and Pam Leonard have been missionaries for 30 years, first serving in the Philippines. There, they pioneered the use of vernacular videos in dozens of languages. Proclaiming the Gospel through video became their passion and the goal of a major media initiative called Project Video. For more information about Messiah's partnership with Project Video, contact info@messiahonline.org.
