The missions emphasis of South is to bring the glory of God to the nations of the world. Psalm 96.3-4a says “Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples, for great is the Lord and most worthy of praise.”

Missionary Care Groups
What is a Missionary Care Group (MCG)? It is a small group of committed people who work together to care for their missionary in a variety of ways, striving to help meet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. It is a group of people with whom the missionary can be open and honest, allowing them to see his/her needs and share his/her successes and challenges.
