Ministry Leader:   Richard and Joane Piskator

Ministry Description: Since its inception, Life Springs has been mission minded. As we are blessed through the covenant in Christ Jesus, we are also called to be a blessing to the world. The main goals of the LifeSprings Missions Ministry are as follows: 

  • To educate and develop our local body in the heart of missions so that we will rise up and send missionaries to all the earth to declare the Gospel of the Kingdom.
  • To be a support group to existing missionaries with whom we are connected.

Our objectives are to educate and train our members about missions through a mission agency called, Accelerating International Mission Strategies (AIMS). AIMS assists churches in training and doing missions. Through our ongoing relationship with Agape Gospel Mission, spanning more than two decades, our church members are able to support Agape Children’s Home in Ghana, Africa. You may view a slideshow of our trip to Ghana.

In addition to these ministries, we also support and partner with missionaries in Ghana, Nigeria, Mexico, as well as AIMS’ focus on the unreached people groups. Out longterm goal is to send out missionaries that present the gospel of Christ to those yet unreached.

The Missions Ministry works to maintain good communication with missionaries we support, so that we are informed of their activities and needs. We seek different possibilities of educating and informing on the why’s of foreign missions through pastoral sermons and other teachings.

“And I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you, I will curse. And in you all of the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:2-3.

Matthew 7:21-24 Explained: Does God Truly Know You?

How do you answer the question when God asks, “Where are you?” This isn’t about your physical location or church attendance; it’s a deeper inquiry into your relationship with Him. It’s possible to be active in ministry and still feel spiritually dry. Jesus warns us in Matthew 7:21-24 that not everyone who claims to know Him truly does. This message invites you to reflect on your intimacy with God, to assess where you stand in your faith, and to rekindle that genuine connection.
