MISSIONS
The two Bible verses that are the themes for The ConneXion Church Missions are:
“Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19, 20
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
Seeing Jerusalem as our Kokomo, Judea as our state, Samaria as our nation, and ‘to the ends of the earth’, well, as the ends of the earth, here are our ministry and global worker partners!
In Our Jerusalem (Kokomo)
The ConneXion Assistance Fund
Sometimes people knock on our door needing help. This fund helps us do just that…
The ConneXion Food Pantry
Funds go towards buying the food that is not always donated.
The ConneXion Children’s Ministry
Funds go towards cost and materials where needed.

Bashor Home
When we give to them, we are helping hundreds of abused, neglected, and troubled children and their families. They have just built a building/home for young girls who are trafficked in the sex industry.
Annually we give gifts at Christmas to one ‘house’ in particular, that we have declared as ‘ours’. We also pray weekly for Bashor and their prayer concerns and praises in our e-mail prayer chain.
