ECC Missions Board "You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  (Acts 1:8) Our Missions Board's primary responsibility is to oversee the church's commitment to and involvement in world missions, which has been very strong since the church's founding in 1889.  For 119 years, ECC has sent many of its own members into the mission field. We have also supported Covenant missionaries sent out from the Evangelical Covenant Church of North America, Chicago, Illinois. Currently, we have six missionary couples and families in the mission field.  They serve in countries as near as Mexico and as far away as Indonesia.  We invite you to click here to get to know them and their ministries.  You are invited to write to them and to keep them in your prayers.  In addition to supporting our missionaries in our church budget, we also provide other forms of support through our Kingdom Fund.  Anyone may financially support our missionaries through this fund, as well as help meet specific needs, such as travel expenses and unforeseen emergencies.  Each year, ECC provides opportunities for members and attendees to participate in short-term mission trips. Both youth and adults are welcome.  The members of the Mission Board welcome you to our Missions Page.  You are encouraged to provide your thoughts and ideas on how ECC can do a better job of reaching our world for Christ.  Your Missions Board members look forward to hearing from you. Millions are Waiting! There will be a Bible Translation Banquet presented by Wycliffe Associates on Saturday, May 3rd, at 7:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Springfield. Join speaker Bruce McFarland as he shares how God is using people of all backgrounds and talents - people just like you - to help accelerate Bible translation in Papua New Guinea and around the world. For banquet reservations and complimentary tickets, contact Rich Chaisson at 246-5648, or the church office.
