Missions - Ministries Beyond Our Congregation
Jesus commands in Mark 16:15 to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature." As part of fulfilling the Great Commission,
we, at Banks Lake Bible Church choose to support the following ministsries.
Jamie & Lisa Halverson
Jamie & Lisa serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea. As a pilot, Jamie flies Wycliffe personnel and their PNG co-workers around the country. This enables them to do Bible translation, literacy, etc. more efficiently. Lisa has been involved in administrative support work, as well as working as an intern with some Wycliffe translators. She is involved in these activities as she is able, but her primary focus now is caring for their 4 kids.
