MISSIONS

A large part of our calling is to pour out God's love to the world. We encourage our people to live out this calling by building relationships with people in their daily life, doing good deeds and perhaps even going cross-culturally to another country.

 

We also live out that calling financially. Covenant Church commits 20% of our annual budget to support missions efforts both here in the greater Lafayette area as well as around the world.

 

Strategically, we want to put our efforts into the following Focus Areas where we believe God is calling us to participate in His work.

Local Focus Areas

PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Purdue University has a large footprint in the Greater Lafayette area. Our goal is to support various organizations’ efforts to introduce people across the campus to Jesus – including students, athletes, fraternity members, sorority members, professors and staff.

 

 

Leader: Dave Lehe

GREATER LAFAYETTE

While Purdue can dominate Greater Lafayette’s landscape, the area also has many other needs and ministries that work to meet those needs. Covenant supports the efforts of those ministering to high school students, recovering addicts, women facing unplanned pregnancies, jail inmates, and many others.

 

Leader: Aaron Kelley

International Focus Areas

JAMAICA & MEXICO

Covenant has a long-standing relationship with an orphanage in Jamaica, and from that relationship, we have developed a relationship the pastors of a local church and youth camp. These local pastors minister to the young people as they age out of the orphanage and also reach their needy community. 

 

Covenant also has long-term relationships with several churches, pastors, and a seminary Mexico and a newer relationship with an organization in Haiti supporting education and community development in an unreached rural area. Many short-term mission teams from Covenant have traveled to these partners and provided encouragement and assistance in ministry.

 

Leader: Daniel Pierce

ROMANIA

Economically, socially and spiritually, Romanians are still struggling to overcome the impact of the oppressive Communist rule, which collapsed in 1989. Covenant works with Romanian church planters to spread the gospel and care for the needy. In addition, we support the development and training of these local pastors with our Seminary in a Suitcase program.  

 

Leader: Gail Johnston

MIDDLE EAST &

NORTH AFRICA

People in this area are some of the least-reached in terms of overall missionary efforts. This area is also one of the most dangerous and sensitive places for Christians to work.

COVENANT SENT

We are thrilled to support many missionaries called from Covenant to various parts of the world. The missionaries in this focus area call Covenant home, and have deep roots with our church family. Each one is an example of being obedient to God’s call and stepping out in faith. It’s an honor to see how God is at work in and through the people of Covenant around the world.

 

Leader: Tom Covington
