In the March 2016 issue of Reaching Rural America for Christ, congregations are reminded of how, when they reach out to those in need, God uses them to multiply His love and help people in various ways.
In addition, information is provided about the upcoming 2016 National Rural & Small Town Mission Conference. This event will be held Nov. 3-5 in Wichita, Kan., at the Wichita Hyatt Regency. Registration opens March 15.
The newsletter also offers information about ongoing events and free monthly webinars.
