Back from Guatemala

The 2013 Pilgrimage is Complete

Twenty-three pilgrims have returned safely from the annual work-pilgrimage to Guatemala sponsored by Seekers.  Led by Marjory and Peter Bankson, and assisted by Aeren Martinez, our partnership with PAVA (Programa de Ayuda a los Vecinos del Altiplano) gives us a shoulder-to-shoulder opportunity to deepen our connections with the Mayan people of Guatemala on a project that they have begun and will finish after we leave. It’s also a chance to experience the incredible beauty of the land and the people “up close and personal. For more detail check the Pilgrimage page link in the right sidebar.

Domestic Giving 2012

Seekers Church supports many missions and ministries in the United States and other countries. The amount budgeted for domestic giving, is usually about 20% of what we expect to receive in offerings over the course of the year. Once our budget is approved each year and the overall amount available for domestic giving has been determined by the Stewards of Seekers Church, all members of the faith community are invited to request support for missions or ministries where they are personally involved.

For 2012 the community has affirmed support for 32 domestic missions and ministries:
