FACE-TO-FACE MINISTRIES

---

 A Mission Trip is an opportunity to serve others and spread compassion in communities that need it most. These trips often involve hands-on work, such as building homes, providing medical care, or assisting with local projects, while also sharing spiritual support. Mission trips allow participants to grow in their faith, build meaningful connections with people from different backgrounds, and make a tangible difference in the lives of others. It’s a life-changing experience that combines service, learning, and spiritual growth. 

Come to the 4th Annual Navajo Mission Trip in June!

 Alabama Spiritual Encounter Weekend 

March  20 - 22, 2026 

Hartselle Alabama.

Theme: A New Thing (Isaiah 43:19), New Creations (II Corinthians 5:17) 

This winter retreat filled us deeply with Holy Spirit as we worshipped together and told our personal testimonies. One person shared their journey of healing their sight after suffering an eye stroke. Another told of a time of seeing Jesus' tomb that was empty and his heart-felt declaration, "He was resurrected!  It really happened!"

Many thanks to those who planned, who shared their wisdom and understanding, who cooked, and all who visited and shared!
