Armenia Mission Trip 2023

In 2019 Hills had their first missions trip to Armenia. There we helped our supported church planters, Haykaz and Lika, to restore the church building and engage the community of Agarak through a four-day children’s program. Since this time the ministry in Agarak has grown and a further church building project has commenced. We have completed two that, in similar fashion to our work in 2019, carried out further restoration work on their existing church building as well as assisting them in reaching their community by conducting a children’s and teen holiday Bible program. Those who took part in the 2023 trip experienced the Armenian culture at its best, learned about their rich and tragic history, tasted the food, and enjoyed the people. They got to worship with, encourage and help God’s servants, Haykaz and Lika, as they reach their community for Christ.

Why Hills does Mission Trips

There are many rewards but only one target:

Reward: The goer (You): A ‘goer’ witnesses first-hand God’s gospel advance throughout the nations, learns about other cultures and grows in Christ as they trust Him and see Him answer prayer.

Reward: The sender (Hills Bible Church): The church is blessed to send ‘goers’ and share in their joy when they return.

Reward: In-country believers: Local believers are encouraged to press on in their faith as they witness the passion, love and zeal of Hills ‘goers’.

Reward: In-country unbelievers: We witness God use mission trips to bring the love of Jesus Christ in the gospel to local unbelievers.

Target: The missionary

The target of our mission trips revolves around the axis of the missionary: their family, ministry and strategy. Our mission trips are designed to come alongside the missionary and support them where needed most. When this is done our missionaries are more effective and better able to carry out their God-given task.

The 2023 trip ran from 29 June through to 12 July, and was made possible by personal contributions from attendees and the generous support of the congregation of Hills Bible Church.

Upcoming mission activities will be shared here and via the bulletin and from Hills leadership as details are confirmed. We look forward to seeing and being involved in what God has planned next.
