MISSIONARIES
The Great Commission
Missionaries are chosen, called, and sent by God to win souls, make disciples, and establish churches. This process is the basis for multiplying the numbers of Christians in the world. It is God’s plan to win the maximum number of souls for the kingdom of heaven and to allow every Christian to participate in this great commission.
The great commission given by Jesus to His church members at the time is recorded in Matthew 28:18-20.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Our Sponsored Missionaries
Mission Blvd. Baptist Church sponsors missionaries, who are MBBC church members called and sent by God, in the same manner as the early church.
For example, Acts 13:2-3 describes the sending of two missionaries from the church at Antioch, saying, “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.”
