COVID-19 Update

We wanted to reach out to you personally, in response to COVID-19 and The Mission. Our entire team is praying for a quick abolishment of the virus and the safety of those most at risk. As we are sure you have been experiencing, these are unprecedented times. First of all, thank you for your incredible faithfulness in choosing to partner with us; whether that be through donations, child sponsorship or joining us for missions trips. It all makes a difference. As you can imagine we, along with countless other organizations, are being deeply impacted by the preventative measures being requested by governments. When a global crisis like this presents itself, “missions” doesn’t end although missions trips generally do. Because of that, unfortunately, one of our main sources of income ends as a result. Multiple trips, along with the Jesus Culture Missions trip scheduled later this month, have been cancelled or postponed in the past few weeks. These are incredibly difficult conversations to navigate. It is a balance that can only be lead by the Holy Spirit, as we lean on God and say no to fear; all while using common sense to keep one another safe and honoring what our governments are asking of us. Because of multiple trip cancelations that have happened in the past few weeks, we at The Mission are faced with over $150,000 in immediate lost revenue. Our hope in sending you this letter, is to be fully transparent with the repercussions that this will have on The Mission. As you probably know, the prices visiting missions teams pay goes a lot further than just the meals, ministry and work project supplies they would be participating in. A large percentage of that income is how we cover the cost of the many programs we have that feed, educate and care for children, daily. Currently, The Mission cares for 595 children on a daily basis through orphan-care, education programs, feeding programs and more. That being said, we are asking you to join with us in prayer for an end to COVID-19 as well as for supernatural provision of that $150,000 and even more as we prepare for further trip cancelations.  If you feel lead to partner with us in the midst of this, we would be extremely grateful. You can do that by making a donation to help offset the unintended effects of so many recent cancelations. You may do so by following the directions below.

Over the past 32 years, we have experienced many times of need as a ministry; God has never failed to provide and meet us there. We know this will be no different and are eagerly awaiting to see what provision looks like this time. God bless you as you navigate this season in faithfulness and thank you again for all that you do; we are extremely grateful for your partnership in both prayer and finance. As a team, we are declaring the supernatural abolishment of the virus and can’t help but feel that this month especially, as we celebrate His resurrection, is the perfect time to see that.

Loving Him, 

Genea & Jimmy Horner
Senior Leaders of The Mission
