World Missions
Through generous gifts and congregational support of the Witness Committee's fund raisers, Green Acres supports overseas missions in the Congo as well as the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia's Mission Interpreter, Etienne Bote-Tshiek. Every summer, both adults and youth are invited to participate in either international or domestic mission trips, with great fellowship and meaningful experiences for all.
