WHY THE GLOBAL IMPACT CELEBRATION?

The Global Impact Celebration is a significant event in the life of the church. This event is a driver to help create and maintain a culture of missions at the church, cast the church’s vision for missions, and share and celebrate the church’s commitment to local, national, and global missions.  (TMS Global)

What About Esther?

Join us Friday, September 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the Ministry Enhancement Center.  The Book of Esther demonstrates that God’s providence works through human actions and decisions.

What is divine placement?  “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Mordecai in Esther 4:14b

 

LuBwisi Bible Translation Ministry Challenge

Central has a rich history in Christian study and education.  Think about it. . .we have the ability to pick up a Bible and read it at any time we choose.  This is not necessarily true in Uganda.  That is why Central signed on to help translate the Book of Esther into the Ugandan LuBwisi language.
