You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) 2012 SHORT-TERM MISSIONS SCHEDULE- We're in the process of finalizing our 2012 Global Outreach (GO!) Teams, and we have a powerful line-up that will impact lives throughout the world, including our own. And we're excited to announce that JAPAN will be a new destination this year! Here are our current locations, dates and prices:
AND REMEMBER...you can track our teams while they are on their fields of service on our blog, www.kaccgoteams.blogspot.com.

Ours is a personal, yet very public faith, and because of it we make it our priority to reach out both around the corner and around the world to cultures and people groups to whom we're sent, sharing with them the life-giving hope found in Jesus. Currently at KACC, reaching:
Around the corner includes-
We offer groceries, referrals, a listening heart and prayer to those both inside and outside our church family each Monday and Thursday afternoon from 1:30-3:00. Providing for families and individuals is our opportunity to connect those in our community with people willing to walk with them through difficult times.
The last Friday of each month (except July) we host an evening meal for those in our community. There are no strings attached for those who attend, but simply an evening out on us, with great food, friends and an opportunity to connect with those of us willing to share our our lives with others.
We collect backpacks and supplies for the children of our community each August as they prepare to return to school. Working in concert with our local schools, we are able to distribute hundreds of backpacks, as well as supplies that last throughout the year!
We help provide Christmas joy for children in our surrounding community through the sharing of gifts and hope. This is an outstanding avenue to present the gift of Christ to many open families, and allows us to extend our influence into areas we might not otherwise see.
Around the world includes-
Our Global Ministries oversees the financial support we provide for more than forty missionaries, projects and organizations throughout the world. KACC gives 10% of all monies received to missions, and 2/3 of that goes directly to the support of domestic and international workers.
KACC is committed to raising and sending short-term Global Outreach (GO!) Teams, both locally and globally. These teams are designed for service in different areas of the world, finding ways to creatively connect with the local church, as well as the unchurched in other cultures.
Besides financial partnership with global works and sending teams to serve, we also focus on training and deploying those who've taken seriously God's call to them to go into all the world and make disciples (Matt. 28:19). Through local service, continued discipleship, educational training and short-term experiences, we prepare men and women for the task of world evangelism. You Can Make A Difference- There are many ways and places for you to connect with others, both locally and globally. It's our hope that you'll reach out and try different ministry possibilities until you find those that best suit your gifts and heart. God may call you to multiple opportunites to serve and support. You may become part of a GO! Team and discover what it means to pour yourself out for those in other cultures. You may find a place to serve locally that will stretch you in ways you'd not imagined. You may not be able to travel abroad, but you could help with the funding of those who do go, either by responding to a request you might receive from those raising GO! Teams funds, or by donating to trip needs in general. You may become the prayer partner someone needs as he or she steps out in faith. In whatever way you partner, you assist in the mobilization of global missions and you play a vital part in getting the job done! Why not begin somewhere nearby and ask God to expand your borders of influence and opportunity? There's a world waiting for you, and it begins at your front door! Launch out and discover the blessings God has for you as you give away your faith to the many who are waiting to receive the hope that Jesus has to offer them.
Going together for the Kingdom,
Mike
