” And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 
“ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8
There is a fundamental, life-transforming truth that we cannot miss as Christ followers: We were created to impact all nations for the glory of Christ. The testimony of Scripture from Genesis to Revelations is that we were created to enjoy God’s grace in relationship to Him, so that we may extend His glory to the ends of the earth. Matthew 28:19 commands and commissions us to “go and make disciples of all nations…”

Our goal is to be a faith family of world-impacting disciples who are partnering with our brothers and sisters here and around the world to produce ever-multiplying churches all around our city, this country, and to the ends of the earth. Let’s embrace the radical purpose of God for our lives. Let’s wake up as God’s people to see His great glory and to see the nations’ great need. Let’s each spend our lives for the sake of God’s glory among all nations. You were created to impact the world for the glory of Christ.
We do this primarily by giving to the cooperative program created by the Southern Baptist Convention. This is when the thousands of churches throughout our convention pool their resources to help support SBC missionaries all over the world. for more info visit www.imb.org
We also love to go on short term mission trips as a church. We are currently involved in working with The Agape Compound in Jangoan, India. Pastor Chris teaches there regularly. Here are a few pics:

Another way God is leading us to do this is to partner with missionary families all over the world that are not a part of the Southern Baptist family, we are committed to praying for them as well as supporting them financially.
There are two families that we currently support:
- The Garretts in Senegal West Africa working with the Wolof people.
- The Aquirres working in Umbertide Italy
We are joining with the Lexington Baptist Association in adopting a burrow in London England. Please join us in praying for this city that is indeed the “gateway to the world”
Please join with us in praying for these families and ministries. If you would like to join with us in supporting them, please send a check or money order to:
