Mission Central
Word of Life is blessed to have Gary Thies of Mission Central as our worship leader this morning. “Mission Central in Mapleton, Iowa, was dedicated in a service held on August 23, 2003. What a blessing that the Lord has provided a place missionaries can stay when on furlough, offices where correspondences and meetings can take place, facilities for statewide mission events and worship space for more than 300. Not only that, Mission Central is the largest mission supporting agency, as a part of Synod’s LCMS World Mission global Gospel outreach, has been blessed by God to be the conduit helping to raise millions of dollars every year to send and keep LCMS World Mission Missionaries in the field. Since 2003, Mission Central has had hundreds and hundreds of visits from LCMS missionaries and their families (many have come several times) and has had tens and tens of thousands of people from hundreds of congregations visit. God has indeed blessed this place to be a mission center, focusing on telling others about Jesus!
What is the mission and vision of Mission Central?
MISSION: “Telling more and more people about Jesus, so that there will be more people in our real home in heaven.”
VISION: “Every Christian praying for and PERSONALLY supporting a missionary or mission project!”
