Our Partner Missions
We as a Church are very involved with overseas missions. We mainly partner with two major mission organizations. Through these we help missionaries that serve in various capacities. From time to time we also get involved with special projects with each of the organizations. You can read a little about the missions below. If you would like to you may click on the mission logo which will link you to the web site of that organization so that you can learn more about their work.

Advancing Native MissionsAdvancing Native Missions (www.advancingnativemissions.com) is a US-based agency called to seek out, evaluate, and equip native (or indigenous) mission groups throughout the world in order to hasten global evangelization. As we partner with these native missionaries through advocacy, encouragement, and support, we help them to serve, love, and reach people in their surrounding regions with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, all for the glory of God.
ANM is a bridge between the native missionaries in the field and Christians in the West, initiating and fostering relationships between individuals, organizations, and churches and those native missionaries who have demonstrated their effectiveness in reaching the remaining unreached across the nations. Our three primary goals are

Mission Aviation FellowshipFounded in 1945, Mission Aviation Fellowship (www.maf.org) is a family of organizations with a unique mission: to share the love of Jesus through aviation and technology so that isolated people may be physically and spiritually transformed. With a fleet of 132 light aircraft, MAF serves in 31 countries of Africa, Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America, overcoming jungles, rivers, and rugged terrain that keep people and communities isolated. MAF supports the efforts of more than 1,500 church and mission organizations, medical teams, relief agencies, educational intuitions, community development agencies, and others striving to make life better for isolated people. Its recent work includes coordinating transportation to remote areas of Nepal devastated by earthquakes, helping combat a 2014 Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and supporting the work of churches, missionaries, and Bible translators around the world. MAF’s US headquarters is in Nampa, Idaho. |
Please pray for Ryan Koher the MAF pilot in-prisoned in Mozambique
The Video below is Annabelle Koher Explaining the situation
PRAYER REQUEST
We are asking that you pray for Ryan Koher, a pilot for Mission Aviation Fellowship, who is in a high security prison in Mozambique. On November 4, he met two South Africans at an airport in south
ern Mozambique for a routine flight. They were bringing supplies for orphanages in the northern part of the country and it was a flight MAF, known as Ambassador Aviation Ltd in Mozambique, had flown many times in the past. Before the airplane was loaded, police conducted a normal scan of the goods and had concerns about some vitamins, over-the-counter medications, and food preservative supplies that were going to staff at the orphanages.
Ryan and the two South Africans were detained that day on an accusation that quickly escalated to “supporting terrorism.” It has now been 60 days of incarceration for Ryan and the two South Africans without any written charges and an investigation that is ongoing.
The northern part of the country has been dealing with jihadist insurgents for the past couple of years. To better understand the politics involved, Christianity Today wrote an excellent article about Ryan and the conflict in northern Mozambique that can be found here.
We ask that you fervently pray for the accusations to be dropped and for Ryan’s release from prison. As you can read in the attached letter from Ryan, he completely trusts in the Lord, as does his wife, Annabel, in this difficult situation.
Annabel and their two young sons have returned to MAF headquarters in Nampa, Idaho and are being cared for by family, their church family, and MAF staff. Please look at a short video from Annabel, asking for your prayers for Ryan. That video can be viewed and downloaded here.
If you want to send an email to uplift Annabel you can reach her at prayforpilotryan@maf.org. While she may not be able to respond to all emails, she will be encouraged by your support.
We continue to wait upon the Lord and for His purposes to be accomplished. Thank you for your prayers on the Kohers’ behalf.
Blessings,
