The Bible says that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Hab. 2:14). That is our desire at Christ Memorial - to see the earth filled with people who have come to know Jesus Christ through the power of the gospel and live to glorify Him. For this reason over 20% of our budget goes to the following missionaries and ministries who share this desire.
