Missions Department Seeks Help with New Website
The missions department would like to bring greater awareness to the Covenant family about those of you who are serving the Lord in missions around the world. They are currently developing a website to that end. The website will include pictures and updates of our alumni overseas, along with links to their own personal websites.
