The need is great in the mission field of the world, whether it’s down the street in Roanoke or half-way around the world. We focus a significant amount of resources on missions, near and far.

Our focus internationally is on two sites: Nicaragua and Zambia. Mission teams meet throughout the year to raise funds and plan trips to minister to those in need. You can be involved with either of these missions without leaving home! While we have mission trips to these locations, those who support the ministry and mission at home are needed just as much! Volunteers are needed year-round to assist these efforts. Shepherd: Chriss Davies-Ross and Pastor Elijah Mwitanti

 

 

Nicaragua

In Nicaragua, Jo Anne Yon seeks opportunities to connect St. John with people in need. As a member of the Medical Ministry International (MMI) team, Jo Anne sets up medical and dental clinics where teams from St. John are invited to provide care and Christian education. St. John and friends of the church provide sponsorships to the 52 children at Rancho Hebron, the home of Nicolas and Karla Diaz. Here, the children receive care in a Christian environment that includes shelter, food, education and health care.
