Missions Leadership Team

Many of our international workers are in areas of the world that are not open to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  In order to protect the work they do, you’ll notice that some have very little information on the website.  If you would like to learn more about any of the workers we support here at ABC, please contact someone on our Missions Leadership Team or email Ashlee at abarker@myabc.church
