Sharing the Good News
By some estimates, more than 2 billon people still have not heard the
gospel. More than 2,000 languages have yet to have a translation of even one
New Testament book. Of the $12 trillion dollars Christians around the world
make annually, only 1.7 percent is given to Christian causes and only 1.3
percent of that 1.7 percent goes to missions.
Abysmal as those statistics may seem, God's church is still growing. And Valley
Church is grateful for the opportunity God has given us to be part of that
effort. Since our inception in 1959, we've added two missionary families per
year to our support list. Many come from our own church family. To find out

Missions Leadership
The missions program is under the leadership of our Missions Committee. Our
missionary support is supplied by designated "MISSION/FAITH
PROMISE"
giving, and is completely separate from our general budget. One hundred
percent of giving to our missions budget goes to missionaries and mission
agencies.
Caring for Missionaries
One of the ways our congregation becomes
actively involved with missions is by supporting
a missionary as their representative. These
representatives help
keep the Valley Church body updated on
current happenings & prayer requests
from their missionaries by maintaining
a consistent communication with them. There
are several monthly missionary prayer meetings
to pray for specific
missionaries and ministries.
