Mission Trip Opportunity
Blessman International is offering a mission trip experience from November 12-24, 2026, for the Upper Midwest Conference to serve in their ministries in Limpopo Province in South Africa! We will participate in ministries like an optical outreach, shoes and socks and hygiene kit distributions, feeding programs with the children, and more. This trip is especially good as a first international mission trip.
Cost is $2550 plus airfare and optional excursions.

Conference-Wide Blessman Wells Project
EVERY church in the Upper Midwest Conference has been invited to make a difference by joining together to provide life-giving water to 3 Day Care Centers or Creches (Preschools) in the province of Limpopo, South Africa. Donations are already coming in (Thank you, churches!) toward our goal of $37,000 for Blessman International to dig those 3 wells ($12,500 each). You can find fundraising ideas in our Facebook group or in past newsletters. Has YOUR church started? We hope to reach our goal by Annual Conference in June. TOGETHER we will change lives in South Africa. What an amazing way to celebrate our 3rd “birthday” as a Conference!
