Acts 1:8
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Here at The Branch, we value missions and feel called to support and train missionaries near and far. 25% of our yearly budget goes straight to missions. If you have any questions about our missions strategy or want to go into the mission field, please contact Casey Travis, chairman of the Missions Committee.
SPONSOR A CHILD
We believe the Lord has called us to invest in the Tablon region of Honduras for long-term impact. Thanks to Sowers4Pastors, God has used families from TBC to provide for children here.
Many children in this region are still in need of resources. If you'd like to sponsor a child, follow the link below and select a student from the Tablon community.
