World Outreach With Ministry Partners
Blue Ridge Bible Church Fletcher, NC
|
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded You; and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV
|
Any study of the New Testament makes clear that God's people are here in this world mainly for
outreach to those still outside the Kingdom of God. At Blue Ridge, we place importance on the
regular preaching of God's Word, fellowship together, mutual edification, Communion, Baptism,
singing praise to God, and giving tithes. Nevertheless, we are constantly aware of His charge to be
making disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey the Lord Jesus. This is
the heart of worldwide missions.
Commitment to Missions Ministry
We seek to be a part of God's work beyond our local community by an emphasis on worldwide
missions. Once a year, we set aside one month to focus on what God is doing in and through our
Ministry Partners. We then translate these updates into yearly commitments of prayer and financial
support.
Purpose of Outreach
Why Ministry Partners?
We use the term "ministry partner" to remind us and our partners of the sharing we have in the
ministry together of proclaiming Christ and Him crucified. It speaks of the share we have in the
responsibility and in the reward.
Our Ministry Partners
Here are the Ministry Partners the Leadership has evaluated and put before the congregation for
consideration in their missions giving and prayers.
