Maranatha Missions Department

 
The purpose of the Maranatha Missions Department is to be the vehicle through which Maranatha Church responds to the great Commission of our Lord, Jesus Christ, as expressed in Matthew 28: 19-20; Mark 16:15; and John 20:21. We believe the Great Commission specifically means:
 

   1. Proclamation of the Gospel where it is not known (I Corithians 15:1-4);

   2. Discipleship of believers and formation of local churches where none now exist;
   3. Ministry to the total needs of the people - whether physical, mental or spiritual- 
       as an expression of the love of God.

The Maranatha Mission Department partners with many mission ministries throughout the world to accomplish our purpose.  Activities of these ministries include: evangelism, church planting, training pastors, bible study programs, operation of orphanges, providing medical care, nutritional programs, prison ministry, youth ministires, counseling and operations of a school in Nan Colo, Haiti.

Haiti Mission House Construction

 

The construction of the Haiti Evangelical and Educational Ministry Mission House began officially on May 22, 2007.  Our goal is to complete the construction by the summer of 2010. The mission house, which is being built near Gonaives, will be a place for visiting missionaries to stay – a place for fellowship, learning and prayer.  The facility will also be used as a residence for career missionary, Sister Liz Proctor.  Tasks to be completed include:

 

§  Flooring – 11 areas – cost estimated at $4,045 US

§  Furniture and Fixtures (electrical, toilets, sinks, shelving, lighting, etc.)

§  Finish Work, including: painting, plastering and paving of a parking area

§  Estimated cost of completion is expected to be between $15K -$20K
