Missions at First Baptist
We are blessed to have the opportunity to faithfully support over 20 Missionaries worldwide, along with over 15 local and world outreach Ministries. The Lord has allowed us the opportunity to partake in many short term mission trips throughout the years. These trips have been to many parts of the world, to include Russia, Poland, Guatemala, Peru, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Honduras and Rwanda. We have supported the Katrina effort by sending teams to Mississippi and New Orleans. There have also been trips to the Appalachians and to Indian reservations in Arizona. The Church body continues to do local outreach for the needy and homeless in various ways throughout the year.
Where would God have you go and serve this year or the next?

The team has returned from the Dominican Republic. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. We were stretched spiritually but the Lord had his way as many children were touched by his Love. We thank the team for their loving spirit and compassionate hearts.
Missionary of the Month
Roy & Judy Entwistle are our missionaries serving with Africa Inland Missions in Florida. They served in Africa for 35 years and came to Florida in 2003 to continue their ministry work in the United States. They use thier time now to minister to many retired missionaries who are either in the hospital or living in a nursing home. The correspond with missionaries in the field giving them encouragement and prayer. They make numerous visits to those with special needs, have weekly prayer meetings, and they continue outreach to children through the Evangelism Club every Wednesday. Pray for their health and for their 3 adult children who are also missionaries serving in Africa.

Missions Celebration
2008
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
Matthew 25:34-36
Thank you to all the local ministries, missionaries and voluteers for making this years Missions week a success!
