Why the Pacific southwest District?
Untold thousands are still in darkness, lost like “sheep that have gone astray”. But this is exactly the mission our Lord has created His Church for – reaching the lost for Jesus’ sake in as many ways as necessary. This is the purpose for which our 300 churches and 150 schools were founded in their many contexts. And “the fields are ripe for the harvest” right now!
This Giving Tuesday, November 29th, among the many worthwhile opportunities available to support God’s mission here and throughout the world, consider a gift to the Pacific Southwest District as an individual or congregation.
Your gifts enable us to continue and expand our shared work together, fulfilling the PSD mission of effectively resourcing congregations and schools for transforming lives and making the Great Commission REAL!
