Foreign Missions

We are blessed to be a part of a great missions organization called LEADS Outreach, International.  LEADS Outreach International is a 501c3 registered organization that sends 100% directly to the mission field.  The creation of LEADS Outreach International is the result of trip taken over 40 years ago when our Pastor, Chris Rieber, went on his first mission trip to India not long after becoming a Christian.  His heart was immediately connected to the mission work in India and he developed a close relationship with the Bansod family of Nagpur, India (founders of LEADS Outreach India.)  Over the last 15 years we have also developed a close connection to ministry in South Africa through another missionary family, Koos & Jeni Basson.  Koos is the South African leader IMD ministries.  Recently we have made another connection in Paraguay with Reici and Karen Acevedo.  Reici is the leader of Word of Life Ministries in Paraguay.  All three of these ministries are supported monthly by LHF, through LEADS International, and special offerings are often taken up for their support.  In addition, we have an annual Blessings Offering collected that is used for mission ministry as well.

Over the years Living Hope Fellowship has continued to regularly send groups to serve on mission trips to India & Africa to support these ministries.  We plan to continue to do this and to include Paraguay as well.

If you have a heart for mission work in India, South Africa or Paraguay you can join us in supporting LEADS by giving a donation which will go directly to that ministry.  To do this, go to our Online Giving page, and be sure to choose to “designate” your donation, and select LEADS from the drop-down menu.  This will insure your entire donation goes directly to LEADS Outreach.

You can also choose to mail a donation to the church, or drop it in the offering plate on Sunday.

Contact the church office if you have any questions or would like more information.
