FREESTONE: Missions

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

INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS

Jacob and Miriam | Himalayas

We help to support a missionary family in the Himalayas. They make connections and share the good news of  the gospel in their city. In Their local church, they serve by teaching youth and discipling believers.

Their goal is to provide more teaching and training for local leaders and pastors and eventually plant a church. 

Although there are quite a few Christians in this Hindu  nation, there are also many Buddhists and Muslims.  There are not many healthy churches that preach  the truth, and there is a lack of good theological education. Another hindrance is the caste system, and every part of their lives is ruled by their cultural identity as Hindus.

Baptist Medical Missions International (BMMI)

Baptist Medical Missions International (BMMI) is the humanitarian/benevolent arm of BMA Global. The primary purpose of this ministry is to provide humanitarian aid or assistance for many nations of the world where care is needed because of economic, geographic, or disaster-related circumstances. 

BMMI is opening doors for BMA missionaries to plant new churches and make new disciples for Christ all around the world. Many churches and individuals partner with us to serve with missionaries. 

The main goal of BMMI is to assist pastors and missionaries in meeting people in their community. Many come out to a medical clinic to receive healthcare, but our prayer is that they leave with more than a few pills; we want them to leave with hope–hope that comes from knowing Christ. During the clinics, local pastors and missionaries set up an evangelism station that each patient goes to as a part of our rotation. Here, they are introduced to Christ, to the local pastor, and to the church.
