Global Mission Month - September 2026

September is Global Mission Month at Captivate Ryde! It’s a chance to hear how God is at work around the world and be reminded of our part in His global mission. As we continue to give to, pray for and connect with our mission partners, we hope this month will encourage us in our partnership with those taking the good news of Jesus to people around the world.

This year, we’re aiming to raise $25,000 to support our missionaries.
