Missions Network The Vital Importance of Missions Network The Network connects church teams to serve both globally and locally according to Acts 1:8. Every year, hundreds of area church members travel around the world for life changing mission trips. What if that impact could be multiplied? What if even more Christians could minister among hurting people and experience the love of Jesus among the poor? Our area has an urgent need! There are 100,000 children in elementary schools throughout Fresno County—62,000 of them live in poverty. Churches have great opportunities to make a difference for these families. The Network encourages churches to build mission teams that are sustainable. Missions Network also helps mission leaders connect their work with the core purpose of their church and their pastor. Therefore, missions become central to the life of the church, not just a peripheral function. The Network encourages frontline mission leaders through monthly gatherings of prayer, training, and networking. The Network multiplies resources by connecting practitioners to one another. For example, Valley Christian Center held the first Fresno WOW JAM and then the next month trained other churches to do this neighborhood impact event. Eight other churches then held a neighborhood WOW JAM during the following year. Missions Network is able to follow movements of the Spirit, without adding an institutional layer that manages, controls, and slows that response.
