African Mission Work

As founder and president of Sports and Rec Plus, Rick Mitchell conducts frequent global mission trips. Among his most recent adventures for the Lord were trips in December of 2008 and March of 2010 to Niger, an over-whelmingly muslim nation. There, Rick and a handful of fellow missionaries equipped the faithful to spread the word about Jesus Christ. Our church is proud to have supported the 2008 trip when our own Dina Cotten accompanied Rick to Africa. For information on upcoming mission trips, contact Rick toll-free at 800-251-4078.

Rick and his associates taught new Christians the bible

using special "Story Cloths" that graphically present key

bible stories. Shown below are several of their students, proudly displaying their story cloths.
