Missionary Partnerships
At Bible Baptist Church, we take the Great Commission seriously and strive to preach the Gospel to all the world. Our church supports over 35 U.S. and foreign missionaries. Our main emphasis is partnering with church planting missionaries. We also support our local homeless shelter, a Bible college and a Bible printing/distribution ministry. For the safety of our missionaries, we choose not to post their names or photos online.
faith promise giving
We support our missionaries through Faith Promise giving. Jack Manly, a veteran missionary, summed up the soundness of the Faith Promise Program in the following statements:
- The Faith Promise Plan is a means by which Christians are enabled to obey Christ's missionary commission through their own local church.
- It is a plan that challenges people to give systematically and purposefully to world evangelization.
- The Faith Promise Plan is in complete harmony with God's plan - forming a purpose and then giving according to that purpose (II Corinthians 9:7).
- It ties missionary giving in with the local church and channels giving through the church.
- It challenges every member to participate - from the very youngest to the oldest.
- This plan gives a concrete goal to the church Missions Conference and one in which all are challenged to have a distinct part.
- It guides the church in its committal to Missionary support and obligation, knowing the approximate amount of money it will receive for missions during the year.
- It confines the financial appeal to an annual event, and hence eliminates the need for constant appeals for missionary offerings.
