Mt. Olivet’s Missions Ministry

Like other churches in our area, COVID -19 has prevented us from having most of our planned calendar events for 2020. However, it has not prevented us from doing the work in the area of missions which God requires of His church. In the months of September and November, Mt. Olivet partnered with the Resurrection Disaster Relief Ministry, area churches, and individual donors to provide five hundred families, affected by COVID, with a week’s worth of groceries. Some of our members were blessed to receive groceries. They also were given a gift card to purchase additional food items for Thanksgiving. 

Also in October- November seventeen of our members packed thirty shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child. The boxes contained items such as toys, non-liquid hygiene items, school supplies, clothing and other accessories. They will be shipped to children in need all over the world. These gift-filled boxes will become tools for churches to share God’s love and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the boys and girls and their families. Mt. Olivet is so blessed to be a part of this awesome ministry. Psalm 108:5 states “Let Your glory be over all the earth!”

Finally, ten of our senior members were blessed with a monetary gift for Thanksgiving. Our Outreach Missionary Ministry in Washington D.C. receives all thanks for this gift of love and for their kindness.

1 Corinthians 10:31 states, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
