Missions 2025 :: Jesus for Everyone - When You See the Need!

Ben White (Director of Missions Advancement, CORE Missions) - Nehemiah 1:2-4 (Nehemiah 1:2-11; 2:4-5; Matthew 6:19-20)
 
Have you ever seen something that, once you noticed it, you couldn’t unsee it? Something that you never paid attention to until it became impossible to ignore? Ben White, National Representative for CORE Missions, will challenge us with a message from Nehemiah 1:2-4, urging us to imagine what God could do if we had a heart like Nehemiah’s—one that sees the need and responds. God has already shown us the need; will you be part of taking the Good News to everyone, to the unreached, to the world?
 
Missions 2025
The gospel isn’t just for you and your family—it’s for every person, everywhere. This month, join us for a special missions emphasis as we explore how to share the love of Jesus with the world. Together, we’ll learn, grow, and commit to taking His message to everyone we can reach.
 
About The White Family
Ben and Rachel White dedicated over 17 years of service in local church ministry. Ben served in various pastoral roles, from leading the student ministry to assistant pastor to overseeing church operations as administrative pastor. This time was foundational, shaping their spiritual lives and commitment to God's work.
The call to mission work became unmistakably clear to the Whites during their time at the church. Embracing this calling, they made the decision to dedicate themselves full-time to missions, guided by prayer and wise counsel. Joining CORE Missions, their focus shifted from reaching their community with the gospel to reaching unreached areas of the world with the Gospel. This new chapter in their lives is a continuation of their lifelong commitment to serving God, advancing the Gospel, and inspiring others in their faith journey.

Missions 2025 :: Jesus for Everyone - How can they?

Dr. David Nelms (Founder & President, The Timothy Initiative - TTI) - Romans 10:13-15; Acts 1:8
 
The Bible promises, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13). But how can people call on Jesus if they’ve never heard His name? As followers of Christ, we are entrusted with the mission to share the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Embrace your role in spreading the Good News to those who have yet to hear.

Missions 2024 :: World Impact - Priority Check!

Calvin Houser (FBC Missionary, Philippines) - Luke 9:56-62 (Luke 9:44 & 56-62; Philippians 4:17; Matthew 28:18-20; John 3:16; Mark 16:15)
 
Jesus calls us to prioritize missions for world impact. Our goal for world impact is not merely a choice, but a command from Jesus. The Gospel sets all of our priorities for world impact and we must consider the significance of our giving to missions. Missions giving is not mandatory, but rather an opportunity for individuals to make a conscious choice to live for either this world's kingdom or for the Kingdom that is to come. It's time to evaluate our priorities and have a deeper commitment to living in a way that aligns with the principles of the Kingdom of God. It's time for a, "Priority Check!"
 
Missions 2024
Jesus calls all believers to follow Him and become fishers of men. That means each of us should be active and engaged in the mission to help people find and follow Jesus!
 
Priority Check!
I. WHERE will you follow Him?II. WHEN will you follow Him?III. HOW MUCH will you sacrifice as you follow Him?IV. WHY should you follow Him?A. He gave His life for you!B. He gave you a job to do.C. He has a Kingdom coming!

Missions 2022 :: I’ll Go Anywhere - A Call to Worship!

Missionary Paul Weber (Missionary, Spain) - Psalm 66 (Psalm 66:1-5, 8 & 16-17)
 
The heart that truly desires to praise and worship also desires for others to join in as well. Our witness should be aimed at bringing others into worshiping our God.

Pastor Chris Andrews (Discipleship + Missions Pastor) - Matthew 9:35-38 (Matthew 9:35-38; Philippians 2:3-5; John 4:31-35 & 9:4; Luke 9:57-62; Mark 8:34-37)
 
Every follower of Christ is called to full surrender and following Christ includes re-orienting your life around His mission.
You ever see the signs with all the pictures and descriptions of people. Young people and old people, all different kinds. And directly beside the picture was a phrase to encourage you to do your best to keep a watchful eye out and to search for these people.
A phrase like..."Every second counts." with a phone number to call 1-800-THE-LOST. If someone doesn't find the lost people soon, then chances are they will never be found. They will be lost forever.
There is a very similar passage in the Bible. It describes a major job to be done. That the job is urgent. And that if we don't act quickly the people in peril will be lost forever.
Would you give yourself totally to the mission of reaching the world with the gospel? Will you surrender and say, "God I'll Go Anywhere!"
