Foreign missions has always played an important role in the history of the Christian & Missionary Alliance churches. Because we believe that a person must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to have eternal life, we see the incredible need to spread this truth.

Pleasantview Alliance Church supports missions in a variety of ways:

Children/Youth

The Worldshapers ministry is geared towards missions education and projects to help missionaries. This past year several missionary families were highlighted. Some of these were able to visit with the children when they were home.

Occasionally the stories of missionaries in various places throughout the world are used during Children's Worship on Sunday mornings.

Adults

A missions prayer request is given and prayed for during our morning worship service. The Wednesday evening prayer time always has recent requests from missionaries.

Men

Our Alliance Men Ministry includes recent prayer request from missionaries during their monthly meeting.

Women

For years the Alliance Women Ministry has had a large support system for foreign missionareis through:

• Prayer
• Education about the work in various countries
• Mailing items hard to obtain in 'their' country
• Monetarily supporting special projects
• 'Adopting' a missionary child to remember
• Workdays are held to
  - trim and sort cancelled stamps which are then sold to stamp collectors
  - cut used sheets into strips, sew them end to end, and roll them for bandages
  - mail medical supplies and used pill bottles
