2024 International Mission Trips
In Matthew 28, Jesus called His disciples - and all Christ-followers - to go and make disciples of all the nations. In response to that call, Life Church Buffalo is sending teams on three international trips in 2024. We encourage everyone to prayerfully consider if God is calling you to join one of these teams.
Freedom International Ministries
Freedom International Ministries' ultimate desire is to see people glorify the Lord in all areas of life. They believe that long-term discipleship is the way that lives are changed. They strive to use programs that will best reach children and families with the lifegiving gospel of Jesus Christ. Specifically, they seek to train people to glorify God in 3 areas: by walking in relationship with the Lord, developing wholesome relationships with others, and using their God-given uniqueness to live for Him.
