Missions
WCAG supports approximately 40 missionary families from around the globe with monthly contributions of $400 per month. We continually receive letters and emails from these missionaries, letting us know how important our people's contributions are to their ministry.
We also support several local ministries and other organizations that spread the gospel through various forms of ministry to the poor, homeless, orphans and the unborn. We give monthly support to the Pregnancy Resource Center, the Vitae Society, Sunshine Mission, New Life Evangelistic Center, Focus on the Family, Teen Challenge, Emerge Ministries, Metro Ministries, Metro Vision Ministries, Inner City Ministries, the Highland Children's Home, Full Life Community Church, Campus Crusade for Christ, Central Bible College, and Evangel University. Other contributions to mission causes through one-time or designated gifts include Convoy of Hope, Latin American Child Care, Light for the Lost, Fellowship of Living Praise-Ghana Missions, and Sister Josephina's Juarez Orphanage.
In additon, the people who participated in the WCAG annual Gobble Wobble raise several thousand dollars for Teen Challenge. We give over 400 Easter baskets and buckets to local nursing home patients and children served by Metro Vision Ministries. In addition to our support of Sunshine Mission and New Life Evangelistic Center, our Benevolence Committee gave $9,400 directly to local families in need in 2009.
Our 2008 Mexico Mission project was a new sanctuary building for Iglesia Nuevo Paz, (New Peace Church), a relatively new Assembly of God church in an extremely poor area of Juarez pastored by Armando Olague. A team of approximately 80 men, women, and young people from WCAG and the surrounding area helped with the project. People from Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin also participated. In two weeks, the project went from a concrete slab to a fully functional building that was able to be used for church services. Click on this link for a gallery of photos. Photo gallery... Our project in 2010 will be building a school building on the site of Un Mejor Manana, a church that we built a building for in 2006. This will be a two story, 33' by 66' building to be used for Christian education by this growing congregation.
