EFCA CONNECT Reach beyond
We grow as people and as a church when we reach beyond our boundaries to act with the love of Jesus in other people's lives. Listen to the exciting stories from those returning from a mission trip. Or feel the momentum of a church mobilized behind a cause. It is about relationships, and it is about fulfilling the Great Commission. At EFCA CONNECT, we want to be your partner for missions. Our passion is to serve and resource the local church so more people and more churches can develop relationships with, and impact the lives of, the unreached.

GodSighting
When the Rapid City First Evangelical Free Church in South Dakota was invited to send an Outreach English Camp team to Asia, they prayed that the entire church would feel a part of the effort. The support from the church was overwhelming, as they raised more than $15,000 in less than six weeks. "When we came home to tell them how their prayers drew two Asian students to accept Jesus as their Savior, the church experienced answered prayer as a unit. The involvement with CONNECT and the OEC drew the church together to rally around a purpose and goal. God's impact on our church and others has been remarkable!"
