Missouri churches needed to partner with church plants in Ontario and Africa

Rick Hedger shares his salvation story with a Soninke villager in Mali.

Recently MBC hosted a Western Gateway Summit and Base Camp 1 at FBC Arnold, MO where representatives from 27 MBC churches were trained to participate in our partnership for this region of Africa. The partnership is beginning to strengthen as we specifically pray that the Lord will call out 36 MBC churches to become engaging churches to the unreached, unengaged peoples of the Western Gateway Cluster of Sub-Sahara Africa.

Missouri Baptist Convention and Canadian National Baptist Convention have partnered together to seek out 50 indigenous church planters from Ontario to pastor our possible 50 church starts in Northern Ontario. Gary Smith, our NAMB National Missionary, hosted a series of One Day Church Planter trainings September 20-25 throughout Northern Ontario. As God calls out indigenous church planters, MBC churches and associations will have someone to actually partner with as they follow the Lord Jesus on mission in Northern Ontario. Please continue to pray to the Lord of the Harvest that He will call out laborers into His harvest fields of Northern Ontario.

These trainings were both made possible as a result of the Partnership Missions portion of your faithful giving to the Missouri Missions Offering. Thank you on behalf of all those in Ontario and the nations of Africa that respond to the gospel as a result of this training.
