Series Missions Emphasis

In July of each year, every Alliance church is mailed a Missions Emphasis Kit. This kit informs of the theme as well as provides promotional resources and videos for your church to use. The videos contained in this series are based on the Missions Emphasis theme for a given year. They contain specific information related to that year's theme and contain compelling stories presented with an end goal of inspiring the viewer to consider ways to further engage in the mission of the C&MA and their local church.
