MISSIONS EXTENDED
Find more information about the missions we support below
Every believer heard about Christ’s offer of salvation from another person. It could be from a friend, a family member, an evangelist, a missionary, or even a stranger, who at one point they had shared a conversation with, and planted the seed. Think about that person who God used in your own life to come to know Christ. Just as we were recipients of this life-changing blessing, we as a church also support several outlets of blessing to spread the gospel locally and in the far corners of the globe. Good Shepherd Baptist Church is big on missions local to the church, in the community, in the state, in the country, and around the world!!! They are as follows:
Truth Helpers
a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Tom Berry that sends support to a school in Haiti and a bible school in Romania
Timothy Initiative
an international church planting organization with the purpose of training pastors and church planters specifically in Nepal, India, and Africa
International Ministries (Missionary Duane Binkley)
one of the first Baptist mission agency in the USA that started in Myanmar and has now active missionaries in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas
Crossover World
a non-profit organization ministering to Filipino children ages 4-14 and sharing the gospel using the basketball paradigm
Kapatid Ministry
a Philippine-based non-profit organization ministering to impoverished families, children whose parents work abroad, and also to prison inmates in Iwahig Penal Colony in Palawan
Delaware Baptist Association
a local group of Baptist churches aimed at strengthening each other while supporting church planting efforts
Baptist Convention of Maryland and Delaware
a group of Baptist churches from MD and DE, who are working together on ministries such as missions work, disaster relief, ministry training and support, church development, and evangelism
It is through these kind of ministries that the good news circulate to people groups of countless areas of the world that we wouldn’t otherwise physically travel to. But we are able to take part in the sending of missionaries, and in Romans 10:15 we read: And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Perhaps some of them are extraordinary people, but most likely they are just regular people like the rest of us. Surely, the apostles were not that special by human standards. But God uses people like us to share His love and to do extraordinary things with eternal value. Everyday, He blesses us with the resources and strength to empower us to do His important commission. So let’s make sure that these blessings trickle down to others just like it did for us.
