At its heart, missions is about God's people connecting with people for other places and cultures with the goal of sharing the gospel with them. God has given us the mission to make disciples of all nations. At First Baptist Church, we seek to obey God through giving, sending, praying, and going. We hope that you will explore ways you can give, support and pray for those sent as missionaries and also discover ways you can go.

The Week of Prayer for International Missions is December 1-8. We will begin receiving the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions on December 1. Our church goal for the offering this year is $32,121.24. Every cent of this offering goes to help international missionaries working to reach unreached and less reached peoples around the world with the gospel. Please, prayerfully consider what God wants you to give and give obediently.

We are making plans for mission trips in 2025. Most of the trips listed below are still in the planning stage but appear here so that you can begin to pray about where God wants you to go in 2025.

City of Sand, Northern Africa

Two women sit on a bench while they wait for their young children to be released from school. They are sending them to an Islamic school that will educate them until they graduate. They greet four believers as they pass by. They reach out with hospitality and try to help the believers by showing them how to get to different nearby places. Give thanks to God for these women's friendliness and help! Thank Him for their love for their children and their desire for them to be religious. Ask God to bring more believers to pass by these women, and pray for opportunities for them to hear the gospel. Ask that the women will receive the Light of the world into their hearts and raise their children to follow the Son instead of the prophet.
