“he says: ‘It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.'”

– Isaiah 49:6

A CELEBRATION OF MISSIONS AND EVANGELISM

We believe one of the key characteristics of a healthy disciple of Jesus Christ is going with the Gospel. God has called all His children to share the Gospel boldly, expecting Him to bring to faith those who hear the Gospel, and to make disciples of those whom God saves. In order to encourage and facilitate broad involvement in going with the Gospel, First Baptist Powell offers a variety of missional opportunities here (local), near (North America), and far (international). 

 

The GO (Global Outreach) Conference is a celebration of missions and evangelism. It allows the members of First Baptist Powell to meet many of our mission partners who serve locally, in other parts of the United States, and around the world. As a church, we directly partner with over 30 organizations and family groups, providing financial, physical, spiritual, and emotional support. We commission 15-20 Go Teams a year to various parts of the world, seeking to bring unbelievers into a saving relationship with Christ.

 

Join us October 25th-27th as we honor what God has done through First Baptist Powell in the work of missions and evangelism and prepare for what is to come this year!
