Missions Emphasis 2024
March 10, 2024 – March 17, 2024
Join us for two Sundays of guest missionary speakers during Morning Worship, Sunday School and Adult Electives. Meet many of our missionaries and hear how the Lord is working around the globe! This year we will hear from missionaries doing ministry in Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, New Jersey, Maryland, and Washington. We will also have special guest missionary speakers from Asia during the Adult Elective on March 3.
On March 10 we invite you to arrive 5 minutes early for the Worship Service for our special prelude of heartfelt praise being sung to the Lord by over 12000 people from 154 nations in 257 languages. The world may be changing, but His Blessing is forever solid and sure.

Meet Our Speakers:
Ondrej & Melissa Zikanovi: Ondrej and Melissa are serving with TEAM doing church planting in the Czech Republic. Their vision is to start and develop new churches so that they have the means and desire to plant more churches without assistance of missionaries. This process begins by building relationships through community, sports, clubs, teaching, and common needs.
Luke Raughley and his wife Gretchen serve in Newark, NJ with World Impact. Luke works primarily online with Global partners in Newark and around the globe to disciple church and ministry leaders. This is accomplished using resources developed by The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI). They are available currently in English, Spanish and French. The Raughley’s have four children: Elizabeth, Caleb, Emma, and Ben.
Steve Morton is the Lead Pastor and Church Planter at Elkton Bible
Fellowship Church, a new Bible Fellowship Church located in Elkton, Maryland. They began weekly Sunday gatherings in November 2023. Their mission is to Know Jesus, Grow in relationship with Him and Go with His Gospel. The people of Elkton BFC endeavor to serve the community and make disciples of those who follow Jesus.
Doug Heric: Doug and his wife Christine are serving in the Navigator’s First Responder Mission. Their mission develops mature disciples of Christ within police, fire, and EMS agencies who, in turn, make disciples among their family, colleagues, and community. Through their mission, First Responders are equipped to care for each other’s spiritual needs and offer hope as they engage with a broken world. Doug is the Regional Director for Washington & Oregon, and is training up people to serve in Philadelphia, New York and Florida.
Suzi & Simon Hardy: Suzi and her oldest son, Simon (age 11), joined Ebenezer’s short-term Mission Team to the Dominican Republic in July 2023. They served in the village of Consuelo and worked on construction projects, ran kids’ clubs, and made visits to community members. This multi-generational trip is the perfect opportunity for parents & their children to serve together.
