MISSIONS

As a church, Bridgeway exists to connect people with to the heart of God, no matter where they are. We are eager to see the Kingdom of God advance in loving and strategic expressions of the Gospel around the world. We do this by supporting and partnering with the families and ministries with which God has connected us.

We are currently connected to 5 families on 3 continents. They are all wonderful people who have a specific passion and mission: to reach the lost and disciple those who are young in their faith, in the communities in which they live. As a church family, we are delighted to support and serve these missionaries in various ways such as consistent relationship, persistent prayer and sacrificial giving.

The Danner Family with OneBody International

Clay and Rhonda felt a call to minister in Taiwan from their first time living and ministering there back in 1999.

Clay and Rhonda are reconnecting with old friends and making new ones as they are getting settled into Taipei. They see themselves as a family on mission, with their daughters already getting in on sharing: the truth of Jesus, the love of the Father and prayer for people in need.
