Questions, comments, feedback about missions at DaySpring?
Our desire as a Church is to develop an ongoing, mutual relationship with the missions that we support with our prayers and stewardship of time and resources. We hope to enhance the missions that we become involved with by helping in any way that will further benefit the missionaries’ own direction and philosophy of ministry. It is our goal to develop an ongoing, mutually supportive relationship with each mission.
We see the various missions as an extension of our ministry and Church body, and it is our hope that they will see us in the same light. We can benefit from their ministry and they can benefit from ours. It is also our desire as a church to develop in the membership a heart for missions in general, not only in terms of prayer and financial support, but also individual involvement.

Philosophy
VISION
Dayspring’s passion for missions is to not just send financial support but to send our prayers, encouragement, as well as ourselves to the mission field, both at home and abroad. We strive to come alongside our missionaries and encourage them with our words, deeds, regular financial support, and special gifts. We see the missionaries we support as an extension of our own ministry and a vital part of the life of our church body. While the exact missions we support may change from time to time, our goal remains always to reach a lost and dying world and to build up the body of Christ wherever God calls us to go.
SHORT TERM MISSIONS
Mission trips provide an opportunity to encourage the missionaries we support, open our eyes to the needs around the world, witness the work God is doing around the globe, and join in that work ourselves.
SERVING AT HOME

Questions
While it is true that God can be served just as effectively across the street as across the world, we have a biblical mandate not to confine ourselves solely to reaching out to those nearby: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20). See also Mark 13:10; Acts 1:8, etc.
