Gospel Partnerships

    To the Ends of the Earth

    Our church has a rich history of being committed to making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:16-20). That means we invest in both local and global gospel partnerships. This page is a great resource to learn more about these partnerships. Scroll down to discover how to prayer for our partners, and take the next step by financially supporting their work.

    Andy & Amy Schmidt

    Serving the Lord in Panama.

    The Schmidt family was sent out from our very own church here in Grand Marais because they believed the Lord had called them to the mission field. That long journey has landed them in Panama. They work alongside the Ngäbe people, an indigenous tribe on the remote island of Bastimentos, Panama. They are using their skills in agriculture and medicine as a means to meet the pressing needs of these marginalized people and share the love of Christ. Through patient relationship building, they have made in-roads for the gospel in a very spiritual challenging place.
