One of the greatest blessings of the Church is that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. While we faithfully serve in our local congregations, God is at work in communities across the globe through missionaries, pastors, teachers, church planters, and countless faithful servants answering His call.
The Missionary Alumni Newsletters, compiled by longtime missionary Ruben Schwieger, help keep the Church of God family connected to these ongoing ministry efforts. These newsletters share updates from missionaries, reports from international ministries, prayer requests, testimonies, ministry milestones, and stories of how God continues to work through His people around the world.
Here at Vital Words, we believe these updates deserve a permanent home where they can continue encouraging believers long after they are first published. Rather than allowing these newsletters to disappear over time, we’ve created an archive where our community can read past issues, stay informed about global ministry, and join together in praying for those faithfully serving Christ.
Whether you’re interested in international missions, have served on a mission trip yourself, support missionaries through prayer or giving, or simply want to see how God is moving around the world, we hope these newsletters will encourage and inspire you.
