World Missions is a large portion of the heartbeat of Life.  One of the first official acts performed as a small church was take on the financial and prayer responsibilities of Foreign Missionaries.  From the beginning of that Missions effort, God has blessed our Church to be involved in Missions efforts in Ohio and around the world.  Life has purchased land, furnished funds to build buildings, supplied funds for literature, supplied support for Bible College overseas, put roofs on structures, bought computers, cars and trucks, motorcycles, as well as other important projects.  Life has sent Pastor to far flung regions of the world to preach and teach the world of God. 

The motto of the United Pentecostal Church is, "The Whole Gospel to the the Whole World, by the Whole Church."  Every member is a missionary!  We are missionaries as we pray for World Missions.  We are missionaries as we give to World Missions.  We are missionaries as we witness to those in our world.  We are missionaries as we reach into other cultures and groups to tell people what Jesus means to us and what He will do for them.

Many thanks to the divisions of the UPCI that promote Sheaves For Christ, Christmas For Christ, Mother's Memorial, Sunday School offerings and other venues which enable all the saints of all ages to be involved in missions.

Below is a current listing of the Missionaries and Ministries that Life is currently involved in.  Please pray for each of them regularly.  Remember in prayer that there are husbands and wives and children involved in these ministries - families that gave their lives so that others might be saved.
