MISSIONS

MISSIONS ABROAD

First Methodist Monroe is currently partnered with two families living abroad on mission. The Jackson family in Germany and the Skinner family in Japan. Both are very difficult yet wildly different locations.

MEET THE

SKINNERS!

SERVING IN JAPAN

In Japan, the Skinner family has just landed on a four-year mission to plant a church in rural Japan where the gospel is very sparse, and Jesus is not well known.
