Missions
“…I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”       – Isaiah 49:6
Our Missions Team & Vision
The Missions Team meets monthly to support us as a community being witnesses to the Gospel and to the ends of the earth. We sponsor several missionaries globally and partner locally as a church. The principle concern is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, especially to those who are considered part of “unreached people groups.”
​
We have a Lanesville Global Strategy that includes engaging the world with a passion for God’s glory, Confident Prayer, Gospel Action, Intentional Focus, and Risk-taking, joyfully sacrificing our time, money, skills, passions, and lives to make God known. These values help us proclaim Christ among Gospel-destitute and forgotten peoples, making disciples, and training indigenous leaders.
​
In practice, this means the whole church takes ownership of missions through prayer, personal involvement, and generous giving. Missions permeate the whole life of the church, from music to preaching, from art to sports, creating a mission-centered atmosphere in our community. The Missions Team provides clear communication, periodic mission education, and presents opportunities for churchwide involvement with our mission partners.
At Lanesville, you are invited to develop a deeper passion for the people in our focus areas.
Outside Lanesville, we partner to see:
-
Disciples being made, the gospel spreading, and God being worshipped in our focus areas
-
Stories being told about prayers being answered and the door of faith being opened in our focus areas
-
Faithfulness and perseverance to God’s calling even in discouragement or persecution
-
Indigenous believers leading the effort to reach their own
-
Our partner missionaries and ministries are confident that Lanesville is holding the ropes, as our partners go down into the pit.
-
God doing things we can’t explain
Our Church Sponsors Several Missions Locally & Abroad.
We believe that ministering to people’s needs and sharing Biblical truth are inherent to what it means to being followers of Jesus and our missionaries exemplify this through their various ministries. Our principle concern is for the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, especially to those who are considered part of “unreached people groups."

Germany Mission
Joel White: Guissen School of Theology
Guissen Germany
Lanesville has had a heart for Germany for many years, ignited by the work of Joel and Tatjana White. We’ve supported the Whites and their family for over two decades, as they train indigenous German Christians through the seminary
Joel teaches in, through their work in the local church, and by helping refugees. Their goal is to continue raising up leaders for the church in Germany to have a solid Biblical base to support and exponentially grow the current church in Germany.
Youth Mississippi Mission
This Annual Trip has become an event that has shaped the lives of many who have attended since its inception in 1997.
For over 20 years, we have offered a Vacation Bible School program in the same neighborhood in Canton, Mississippi, as well as engaging in service projects to encourage and provide compassionate service to “neighbors” in Canton. The continuity and formation of relationships has made this a unique trip that has helped to form us as much as it has (we hope) been an encouragement to our many friends in Canton.
Working in partnership with In His Steps Ministries in Canton, our goal is to share the love and good news of Jesus in practical ways, as we come alongside people and a community that we have grown to love, and in doing so, to foster and build the special friendships and connections we have made over the years.
