2018 MISSION POINTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE

ROANOKE RAPIDS, N.C.

 Though small in number these brethren remain strong in the faith and committed to reaching out to their local community.

HISPANIC MISSIONS

 In cooperation with the Three Chopt congregation and the Southwest congregation, Cawson Street is an integral sponsor of the Hispanic Mission Outreach in Metro-Richmond / Henrico / Chesterfield VA. Brother Lucas Vasconcellos and family have relocated to Florida. In Spring-2016, Brother Hector Fernandez and his wife, Mariam, began laboring with this Mission. Hector has been preaching for 27 years. He graduated from a Church of Christ Bible College (South America). He has also served as Director of the College. He has a history of “church growth” in all areas where he has worked. They have been a true blessing. In 2016 included ten baptisms; hosted a seminar, “Order in Your Home”, with 100+ guests and speakers from other Hispanic congregations in Raleigh, Goldsboro, Winston-Salem, Harrisonburg, and Maryland; developed an active Teen Group; weekly Bible studies with members, their families & friends.

GALWAY, IRELAND

The Galway church is a relatively new work and certainly new to us. Scott and Rebecca Shanahan and daughter are the second missionary family to staff this work. Its oversight is by the Clinton Church of Christ (Clinton, TN). There are about six members; plus several regular visitors / families (mostly Nigerians).
