Volunteers in Mission

Susquehanna Conference leads the way

In the statistical report recently released from the NEJ regarding Volunteers in Mission (short-term missions) the Susquehanna Conference led the jurisdiction in the number of teams serving in local, national, and international missions. The conference was also among the top three in total number or members participating in mission and percentage of members participating in missions. The numbers reported that from 2012 to 2016 the number of mission teams in Susquehanna Conference have more than doubled from 114 to 253.

Congratulations to the VIM Council and all those serving for being the hands and feet of Christ in the world today.
