God uses information to direct our paths - and information is all around us. To better understand God’s plan for the world and for your life, you need information. Scripture, of course, gives you God’s perspective. Applying that perspective to the world gives you direction and passion.

Here are some ways you can “grow what you know” and be an effective tool in God’s hands.
• Offer hospitality to visiting OCBF missionaries home on furlough
• Read missionary biographies as part of your individual or family growth time
• Regularly write, e-mail or phone an OCBF missionary serving locally or abroad
• Volunteer to serve on the Missions Committee
