Spotlights

Missions Moments Volunteer of the Week

One of the ministries near to Gathering Church is local nonprofit, Heart of the Bride Ministries. HOB began taking small steps to share directly with others who were helping the needy in struggling places around the world over a decade ago. "We had no idea where those small steps would lead. Today Heart of the Bride is providing for hundreds of orphans, street kids, and vulnerable women through personal relationships. We are an international family, and we continue to grow through relationships. We meet new partners through missionaries and through our existing global partners. We meet new contributors through those who are already participating in this work. We want to continue to grow, but we are committed to expand with a focus on relationship."

Brittany Mitchell is a systems analyst at Hancock Bank and has been serving and attending Gathering Church with her husband, Chip, for 2 years. Together. they have two sons, Peyton and Bryce. The Mitchell's host and co-lead a small group and "have found that when we fellowship with other believers, in a small group in-home setting, friends quickly become family. With the Air Force moving us all over the country it's important to make strong, Christian friendships wherever we live." Brittany is also actively involved in the children's ministry at church. She says she loves serving here because she sees "the wonder in children's eyes when they learn the miraculous stories of the Bible! It reminds me of the wonder and amazement we should all find in God and his creations everyday.... seeing the world as through a child's eyes, always new and exciting."
