Missionaries

We are ALL called to fulfill the Great Commission-the final words of Jesus when he departed. Whether we locally impart the Gospel Message or go abroad, we are all called to be salt and light. 

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." Mark 16:15

Supporting the ones serving abroad.

Our Missions Team does a great job connecting the church to the field and we are so privileged and blessed to provide prayer and support to these extraordinary families!

Bob and Darlene McCoy

Vessels of Mercy Ministries exists to bring God’s Mercy to the nations. In 1987, Bob began on the mission field with his parents, whom started the ministry, and eventually Bob and Darlene transitioned into directorship. They are working full-time, independently as a para-church ministry to first and foremost meet spiritual needs. This is done by encouraging and equipping national pastors, leaders and local churches through seminars, church visits and written materials. Our other emphasis is showing mercy through meeting natural needs: feeding outreaches, disaster relief and educational assistance- as needs vary and resources allow.
