WOMBLES’S RETIRING

Brad and Sally Womble, our Missionary partners in Niger with the Songhai team, are retiring in June.  We do not know what this means for our church's work on the Mehanna Road.  So our next two trips are critical, and we urgently need as many people to go as possible.  Is God calling you?  The trip dates are March 22 - March 31 and May 31 - June 9.  We will be cleaning and painting two medical clinics and telling the story of Jesus to the people.  Contact  for information.

PARTNERING CHURCH

First Hurst has taken on the pioneering role of Partnering Church with the Songhai people group team of the International Mission Board. We have adopted a 45-kilometer stretch of road in Niger, called the Mehanna Road. This road has 48 unreached or unengaged villages and had no Christians when we started our mission in 2006. Our goal is to faithfully follow Christ's call to start churches in the five major market towns along the Mehanna Road.

As a partnering church, First Hurst wants this to be "more than just another mission trip." Our goal is to be intentional in making a long-term impact for the Kingdom.
