Missions
With our commitment to do our part in the fulfillment of the Great Commission, our church has an active missions program. We consider these missionaries as part of the First Baptist Church family, and assist them in evangelism and church planting efforts.
The Mission Committee has the privilege of meeting and interviewing missionaries as they are on deputation for God's chosen field for them and interviewing the missionaries we presently support when they are home on furlough. We also have the opportunity to help missionaries with special gifts over and above our monthly support when a special need arises. And over and above all that we pray for our missionaries as we become aware of specific needs and then regularly. We receive the missionary prayer letters that keep us abreast of what is happening on each supported field. We also review the missions program and recommend to the church support amounts and recommend new missionaries.
ALL CHURCH LADIES FELLOWSHIP (ACLF)
The ACLF does a really bang up job in making Christmas gifts for the mission field. An example of that was last Christmas when Joe and Dawn Lee who work with the Navajo Indians in New Mexico asked the ladies of the church to make scarves for men, women, and children as Christmas gifts. The ladies also sew for the missionaries, do projects that help them with children's clubs and Bible studies for ladies, such as Gospel bracelets, pot holders, hot pads.....little gifts to encourage ladies newly saved or considering the claims of Christ. The ladies also minister to ladies in the church when a need is presented and/or one of our dear older saints has a special birthday or event they have been known to make a lovely signature quilt for them. :0) Christmas gifts are made yearly for the Grow Club and Sparky children by the ACLF ladies. The ladies keep very busy ministering and praying for our missionaries and ministries in the church.
