Overcoming Barriers to Mission Trips: Insights from a Former Skeptic

The poorest American is better off than most residents of a third world country where there is no (or limited) access to internet service, transportation, media, or many other modern American luxuries and conveniences. Remember in Matthew 28:19, Jesus himself commissions believers to go and make disciples of all the nations. If that means going to your neighbor first for practice and you haven’t, what a great opportunity for you to prepare yourself for foreign missions!

Some people plan and save for a mission trip, just as you would a vacation. Some people apply for financial assistance through the mission trip organization. Some people sacrifice other luxuries to pay for the trip. It is extremely unlikely to ever say, “Man, I wish I hadn’t gone on the mission trip - it wasn’t worth the money." In the end, you will be more blessed than those you served...forgetting you were ever worried about the cost.

“It was a big concern with IBS, worrying about finding a bathroom in a hurry in the boonies. There are ‘facilities’ available. However, I did not have one single flare up the whole time. If you need to take breaks during the work periods to rest, then you do that. There are always kids and others around to love on while you are resting. If you need to stay back because of your ailment, then you do that.”

National Missions

First Baptist Church Richmond Hill partners with a few church plants throughout the US. We help them launch and build a church in their community. We also, give to the North America Mission Board as to equip and support church planters.

International Missions

Have you ever looked around and wondered what it would be like if you didn't have a house, clean water, or an education? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if no one had ever told you about Jesus? Have you ever seen a commercial on TV and wished you could help someone in need in another country?

We believe it is the duty of the church to help others in need wherever they are just as Jesus' disciples did in the far away land of Samaria. We cooperate with other churches as well as the Baptist International Mission Board. We sponsor missionaries in Romania and have sent teams there several times. We are active in missionary work in Jamaica, where we build houses, lend our labor and love on the children while telling them about Jesus, and invite them to trust Him as we do. Recently, we have seen doors open up in Haiti. We are excited about our current opportunities to help the needy and share our hope in Jesus. We are even more excited about doing more.

Haiti

Hello or as they say in Haiti, Bonjour. Our church owns a plot of land in Haiti where we are helping children to learn about Jesus, get an education, and thrive beyond their circumstances. Many of these children are orphans due to the earthquake or economic circumstances.

First Baptist Church sends mission teams to Haiti on a regular basis and we have room for you. Whatever your gift, we want you to join us as we provide practical help while we share the hope of Jesus. Join us as we change lives for Jesus in Haiti. Merci beaucoup!

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a division of Samaritan's Purse. Shoe boxes are filled with toys, candy, and other items and shipped to approximately one million children around the world. During the fall season, First Baptist church collects boxes from our church members and surrounding community for distribution. Each box has a book of Bible stories about Jesus shipped with it.

However, Operation Christmas Child is not just a fall or Christmas event. There are activities year-round to help fill as many boxes as possible with the goal of reaching as many children worldwide for Jesus.
