For many years, Walter Hill has supported mission work in foreign countries and within the U.S. This support has come in the form of financial support and personal involvement as groups over the years have made mission trips to various locations. Sixteen missionaries or mission organizations were budgeted for 2024 and two more will be added in 2025.
Trampas McCracken is our deacon over missions. He and his committee are to be thanked for their work. In the article below, Trampas spotlights one mission effort that has shown to be productive in God’s kingdom.
The Multiplying Effect of Missions
Over the past two years at Walter Hill, we’ve embraced two powerful themes: 2023 Disciple – Be one, make some and 2024 Equip – Preparing His people for service (Ephesians 4:11-13). These themes have guided us through tremendous lessons and studies, equipping us to share the gospel and lead others to God. Our commitment extends beyond our local community, as we support several missions both locally and abroad on a monthly basis.
Last year, I had the privilege of traveling to Uganda with 12 fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Despite some adventures and delays, we stayed focused on our mission to teach others about the gospel. The warm reception and love we received at each stop were truly heartwarming. One memorable encounter was with a preacher named Nason Nzoghu, who brought 25 members from his congregation to meet us. At the time, his church had 126 members. Since we began supporting his work with $250 monthly, the congregation has grown to 345 members.
Our additional support has enabled Nason to expand his outreach efforts significantly. He has been able to organize more community events, provide essential resources like Bibles and study materials, and offer support to families in need. This has not only increased church membership but also strengthened the local community by fostering a sense of unity and purpose.
Moreover, the support has led to many positive changes we’ve witnessed in many different regions in Uganda and are a testament to the power of your collective efforts and faith for this work.
