Global Missions (Page 2)

Since the inception of the Prestoncrest congregation in 1972, Prestoncrest has had a heart for Missions across Africa, Latin America, Guatemala, Europe, and the Middle East.

"All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You."
Psalm 22:27

Prestoncrest’s support falls in one of two categories: oversight or partial financial support. Oversight (denoted by an asterisk below) indicates that Prestoncrest provides financial support, spiritual guidance, and accountability. Prestoncrest’s Missions Executive Committee (MEC), deacons, membership and elders are directly engaged in oversight and effectiveness of the work. The second category, partial financial support, means Prestoncrest is financially engaged in the work and that the guidance of the mission is being overseen by another congregation.

Prestoncrest is blessed to partner with each of these mission families, charitable works, and congregations. It is our prayer that because of them, and our partnership with them, many will come to know Jesus. We are blessed by the Prestoncrest membership, Deacons, and Elders that tirelessly work side-by-side with each of these supported works. We hope you will enjoy getting to know about each of these efforts, and their good works for the kingdom of God. In addition to these efforts, we appreciate your additional prayer and support of Prestoncrest’s annual Medical Mission trip to Guatemala.

WorldCare

As the Berlin Wall began its fall in November of 1989, the hope of being able sharing Jesus beyond The Wall became a reality.
