Join us for a special night of worship and a glimpse into our global missions effort. Here at PittNaz, we take the charge of Jesus in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone”, seriously. With that said, we are excited to have Rob and Cindy North come a speak to us about their ministry and how your generous offerings are being used to reach people with the gospel around the world!
