Lane 6 - Local Projects
Go back home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how kind he has been to you.--Mark 5:19
The Mission Highway sometimes is your own home street. Lane 6 is all about ministries within the boundaries of West Michigan. From Kalkaska to Benton Harbor, from Muskegon to East Lansing, Conference Advance Specials focus on community development, education, health and wellbeing, refugee services, campus ministry, Christian camping, and much more.
