The Mission Outreach Ministry Team of Moorpark Presbyterian Church has as its purpose the fulfillment of the Great Commissions of Christ. The ministry team works to proclaim the Gospel, to educate and encourage the congregation in missions, to make disciples, and to respond to the spiritual and physical needs of humankind, both in our local community and throughout the world. In 2007 a team from MPC made a mission trip to Makobe, Africa. See also: Mission Outreach, Elders Pages

The types of Mission Programs we support are described below:
Missionary Support– We currently support six projects in Ukraine, Zambia, China, England, Costa Rica, and Kenya plus two families working in the U.S. on Bible Translations.
On 6/23/08, MPC member Lanie Bradfield traveled to Del Pilar Island in Northern Mindanao for a three week mission to distribute school supplies and rice, purchase 500 Bibles and commission a local boat builder to build a new boat for the Presbyterian Church of Del Pilar. The boat will be used for evangelizing to other remote Islands in the area that have no access to God's word. Click here to see a video of Lanie's experiences and to see how God is working in the Philippines - and thank you for your support and prayers.
