We are privileged to support our missionaries. Their work is difficult and for the most part unheard of. They face adversities that most of us cannot comprehend. From remote areas of service, to financial hardship, to foreign government opposition, to health problems, they labor in the conditions that are, to say the least, unsuitable, and sometimes unbearable. Yet they work tirelessly for souls. They and their families have chosen to obey the call of God on their lives to serve Him where most would not go. They are, in my opinion, the "Cream of the Crop" in God's service. As we here at First Baptist Church work hand in hand in financial and prayer support with our missionaries, we are partakers of their fruit. Fruit that will remain. The church that has God's blessing, I believe, is a church that has a burden for missions. A New Testament church is truly a missions-minded church. Any sucessful missions program is one that is whole heartedly supported by both the church and the pastor. Without this bipartisan effort the missions program will be weak and ineffective. 

 We invite you to get to know our missionaries and the families and their work, become acquainted with their prayer requests, and lift them up often to the Lord. Then send an email of encouragement to let them know how much they mean to you.

 Many times, missionaries feel alone and unconnected to the people back home. We need to make sure that each missionary family knows that we care for them. We must be of one mind in the Lord, our mandate is the same, to carry out the great commission as stated in Matthew 28:18-20:

 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
