Charge Missions
The people of the Runville Charge seek to provide a means of fulfilling Christ's command to "Go ye into all the world" with the Gospel. The charge supports missions and missionary families through the monthly support of the people and is continuingly reaching out into the community and helping those in need.
Some of the Runville Charge missions that we currently support are: Local Food Banks; Bellefonte Lunch Program; Runville Charge Food Closet; Linus Project; Ladies Aid; Prison Ministry; Missionaries; and Camping Ministries.

The first mission trip of the 2012 year will be an out of country trip to the poverty stricken country of Costa Rica where we will be building churches and doing general construction work to bring the hope of Christ to an oppressed people. The dates for this trip are during Penn State's spring break and are tentatively scheduled (due to flight availability) for March 3rd to March 10th. This trip will be led by Pastor Doug and cost for each interested person $1,000.00.
The second mission trip in 2012 will be to a location in the northeastern part Pennsylvania, rebuilding a community that was devastated in recent flooding. The exact location is not yet known. This trip will be led by Pastor Doug. Cost is yet to be determined but should be minimal due to the location and easy accessibility.
The third mission trip of the 2012 year will be an in country trip to the town of Joplin, Missouri. Joplin was literally destroyed by a tornado in the spring of 2011 and as a result of this storm left many families homeless. This town will need help for many years to come and we will be providing that help from August 12th to August 18th. This trip will be co-led by Pastor Doug and Thelma Gilbert with a cost to each interested person of approximately $600.00. (A firm price will be established closer to the date.)
If interested in either of these trips, contact Pastor Doug at: 814-353-8380 or dmellott@susumc.or
