Special Offerings At The Summit

GBIM Missions Offering

An offering will be received for National and International Missions on Tuesday evening of the Summit. International Missions is delighted to announce that the international portion of the Tuesday evening offering will be used for the West African expansion into S*******.

General Baptist Ministries launched our first church in the continent of Africa in the West African country of N**** in 2021. Two additional church plants are planned for N**** in 2021, and plans are in place to fully open a second field office in French-speaking West Africa in S******* by year-end 2021.

Kris and Nicole Yeomans arrived in West Africa in 2019 after serving as Mission Volunteer Program (MVP currently Mission One) directors for several years. Despite COVID-19 and other setbacks (including increased security concerns), our first church launched in early 2021 with local leadership.

The relocation will require some additional funds, as will the new church plants slated to launch this year. The offering will complement the LAUNCH offering for Global Missions currently underway in General Baptist vacation Bible schools across our movement.

WOMEN'S MINISTRIES BANNER CAUSE

Faith Home, Honduras

I remember the first time that I saw Faith Home. The words Hogar De Fe were over the gate that opened to welcome us onto the property. I truly felt that I was standing on “Holy Ground.” Beautiful white buildings surrounded us, and the sound of children’s voices as they were playing and laughing.

A little less than a year later, God called us as full-time missionaries to Honduras and Faith Home. While at Faith Home, I was able to experience firsthand how valuable that ministry was to the children of Honduras.

In February of 1999, Faith Home received their first children. In the past 22 years, hundreds of children have benefited from the Faith Home ministry. While at Faith Home, the children’s physical as well as spiritual needs are met. To date, over 61 children have transitioned out of Faith Home, going forth as missionaries to their country.

It should come as no surprise that the financial needs are sometimes great. Child sponsorships, education costs that include tuition, uniforms, school supplies, and health expenses are a few of the needs.

For these reasons, Women’s Ministries have chosen the Faith Home ministry as the recipient of our Summit offering for 2021. We encourage you to prayerfully consider how you can be a part of this offering to support this vital ministry.
