MISSIONS

The mission of Mt. Dora Children's Home is to help every child discover their future for life and eternity.  Believing that each child is a gift from God, the Home inspires children to follow Jesus and become life-long learners and to serve generously.  The Children's Home also operates a Christian school, but  our support is focused on the Home and the nurturing of children's needs.  One of our elders, Joe Wild, is on the Board of Trustees for the Christian Home and Bible School.  We have had a long relationship with Mt. Dora and have supported them financially for many years.

Kenneth Finlayson

Our current sponsorship and financial support  centers around the HOPE Children's Home in Enmore, Guyana.  The Enmore Church decided to offer hope to the abused, abandoned and orphaned children in Guyana by establishing the HOPE Children's Home.

Kenneth Finlayson, preacher for the Enmore Church of Christ, was given the position of Director beginning in late 2007.  Since assuming the position, the children's home has become the premier children's residence in all of Guyana.  He is highly talented in both of his positions and is recognized by all who know him.

Cornelius and Doris George

The church on the Island of Antigua was established in 1971 with the arrival of Brother Cornelius and Sister Doris George from San Juan, Puerto Rico.  The Vero Beach Church of Christ has supported this family from the beginning.  Currently, their average attendance is 130, with many young people.  Our members have been on mission trips over the years to support the church in Antigua and have returned with heartwarming and moving personal testimonies on what they witnessed during their mission to bring more of those on the island to Christ.

Lubbock, Texas

We began supporting Nat Cooper's work years ago.  His work takes him to many different places throughout the world.  He has worked as our missionary in places like Russia, Romania, Guyana, Antigua and many other areas.  He currently serves as Vice President of Lubbock Christian College. Our help provides him with the financial support for the many trips he makes for the cause of Christ.

Charles and Tamara Cook

Our church  has been contributing to the work of Charles Cook for ten years.   Charles is currently involved with the SIBI work in Singapore, China as Dean of Administration for the Preacher's School.  In the first year of operation he taught 12 courses and one leadership seminar.  The School has three Singapore residents as full time students and five students from Chinese house churches.

Arthur and Anora David

Arthur and Anora David, our mission family in Liberia, West Africa, founded and operate the Ford-Madden Christian Academy, which provides Christian education for students in grades K-12.  Their work also includes establishing and nurturing new congregations in that part of the world.  Liberia is an English-speaking country that is a fertile field for mission work.  We began our support of the David family in 2009.  Arthur and his wife have visited us on several occasions and given us personal reports about the opportunities in Liberia.
