At Light On A Hill we believe in the Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and then the rest of the world approach to missions. Jerusalem refers to ministering in the local community where the church is located. For us this is Grapeland and Houston County. The next level is Judea or missions within our own state and country. Finally the rest of the world is everything else.
Jerusalem – Local Community Missions

Danny and Sue Jaynes – GlobeLink Foundation
Danny and Sue Jaynes are dedicated to bringing the gospel to people in Africa who have never had the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ. They are focused not only on introducing them to the message of the gospel but to discipling those who accept him as Lord and Savior. They are truly building the Church from the ground up.
