Special Missions

Guest Editorial: Ashley Godwin

"Selling their possesions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need." Acts 2:45

In the past 3 years Special Missions has built my faith substantially. I have seen countless fundraisers and hours of preparation throughout the different churches. My most treasured memory of one special mission's contribution was the time I watched Matt and Helen Sullivan sell everything they had in order to pack up and move to Santiago, Chile. This was the first time I had ever seen anyone "give up everything" and literally "go anywhere" for the sake of the gospel - a reminder of Acts 2:45 - and there in Santiago were the needs of many wandering souls. This had inspired me to want to give my all too!

Since becoming a disciple in 2007 I have had the opportunity to contribute to and witness from a distance the church plantings of the Santiago ICC, Portland ICC, London ICC, Empire City ICC, and many other regional plantings. As a unified group of churches, we collectively around the world give a set amount of money each year in order to fund the next church planting and also other necessities of God's movement such as; supporting international churches, giving to our benevolent arm of the church (Mercy Worldwide), and also giving to the internet ministry that has and continues to help connect people from around the world.
