Global Mission

God loves this world and because God loves it, so do we.  Abundantly. We have several ministries that take us beyond ourselves and community and into the world God loves.
 
Mission to Honduras
St. Andrews has begun hands-on ministry with and in the people in the Central American country of Honduras.  In 2008, we sent a mission team to El Quebrachel and in 2009, we sponsored our own village of San Bonaventura and traveled there to serve.  We have established a multi-year commitment to prayer, support, care and work with this village.

Missionaries We Support

Janice Raymond
Janice is a faculty associate in New Testament and Greek at Bethel Seminary San Diego, and serves as an elder, teacher, and worship leader at First Presbyterian Church in San Diego. In addition, she currently serves as a self-supporting missionary to Russia and Mongolia six to 10 months out of each year, doing leadership, church, and ministry development.  She actually does not consider herself a missionary.  "I'm just a Christian living and serving in another place."  St. Andrews supports her ministry through active prayers.
