Missions at First
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.
Week of Prayer for North American Missions and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
Though the Week of Prayer has passed, you may still use the videos to pray for North American missions through Easter. Click the button below to go to a daily video prayer guide. As you pray for these church planters and those they are trying to reach, also pray about what God would have you give to support their work and that of many others through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. We begin receiving the offering on March 2nd.

Pray for International Missions
Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples
Since the 13th century, Jewish people have been living in Switzerland. There have been tragic years and social struggles, but life now for the population of 18,000 Swiss Jews is stable and flourishing. They have established communities mostly in the major cities of Switzerland and speak many languages, including Swiss German, French, Hebrew, and Eastern Yiddish. While not all Swiss Jews are religious, most follow the teachings of the Torah (the law) and the prophets, and most are unengaged with the gospel. In Judaism, attaining favor with God is achieved by obeying the laws found in the Scriptures. While they believe in the God of the Old Testament, their eyes have not yet been opened to Jesus, the Messiah, in the New Testament. Pray that Jewish people living in Switzerland will realize that their good works can never make them right with God. Pray that they will have spiritual eyes to see and discerning ears to hear and believe Romans 3:21-22 (ESV): "But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it--the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe."
