Service Ministries - Come & Get Involved!
Like roots of a garden, intermingling with one another, serving one another empowers intimacy with God and each other.
BOWS - Blessing Our World Servants
First Thursday of each month, 7 p.m.
2423 Holly Avenue (near the corner of Citrus and Washington Avenue)
Like a beautiful ribbon wrapped around a bouquet of flowers, BOWS is a ministry giving encouragement and love to our missionaries on furlough (when they are here on break from their missionary assignments) through friendship and practical help.
Would you like to be involved in serving our Global Outreach workers (missionaries) when they are in your area on furlough? Our activities include preparing and maintaining our missionary housing, gathering needed supplies, hosting teas-picnics-BBQs, even baby showers; and any service requested.
This is a wonderful way to get acquainted with our missionaries and the exciting work God is doing through them around the world. For more information, contact Ramona at (760) 746-9023.
