One aspect
of glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ is to fulfill His Great Commission (Matthew
28:18-20, Mark 16:15, John 20:21, Luke 24:27, and Acts 1:8). Jireh Bible
Church has
committed to Missions since its inception. The task of the JBC Missions
Service Group seeks to edify the church outside of the direct sphere of
influence of the local congregation.
Its goals
are to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ and make disciples both within the
country and abroad by:
-
Taking
part in church planting and development,
-
Providing
personal training and equipping for the missions field, and
-
Taking
part in projects which minister to the physical and spiritual needs of man.
To fulfill
these goals, the group promotes the following functions:
-
Stimulates
prayer and awareness of needs of missionaries in the congregation through
weekly prayer requests as well as monthly reports during Worship Services,
-
Sponsors
Annual Missions Conference to keep Missions in focus,
-
Allocates
funds to various missionaries and organizations,
-
Recruits
volunteers for missions service,
-
Ensures
the care of missionaries on the field and on furlough, and
-
Serves
as a liaison between missionaries and the congregation.
