Missions

The BBC Peru Mission Team will leave on October 1 and return October 7. There are 6 going to work with our partner church Iglesia Evangelica Bautista El Rey Jesus in the communities of Candelaria, Eden de Manantial, and Vista Alegre.  They will share the Gospel through several days of medical mission projects, children's Bible clubs, and community visitation. They will also participate in leadership training, two worship services, and possibly in an event for couples. In the weeks ahead, each team member will be challenged to find 10 prayer partners. Several are raising money through donations for their portion of the trip cost.

Please be praying for this trip and those going:  
James Adams
Matthew Butler

On March 17, 2024, a one-time special offering was taken to assist our partnering church in Lima, Peru. The offering was to help the church open a bakery and produce much needed income for their ministries and especially for the planting of new churches in the Human Settlements around Lima. Our goal was $8,000, and on that day, the church collected $4,500. However, things changed almost immediately after the collection. The Peru church realized they underestimated the cost of opening the bakery, and the location they selected to place the bakery was not a good fit. They have now presented to BBC an alternative plan to use the collected funds to buy a truck and cages to transport chickens from the local farms to customers. This is needed in their area and could be an opportunity to further their mission. The cost is just a little more than our original goal. Please be in prayer about giving to this project.

The Global Missions Fund at BBC impacts a wide range of mission ministries. It is the main vehicle by which BBC gives to the Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong Offerings. Through it the church sends quarterly gifts to Georgia Baptist initiatives, Mission Georgia, World Hunger and the GB Children's Home, as well as BBC’s local mission partners like the Habersham Baptist Association, Grace Gate, Habersham Christian Learning Center, and Victory Home. Through this fund we support Beyond Bethlehem and underwrite up to 50% of the cost of each person who participates in a BBC Mission Trip.
 
To give to the Global Missions Fund, indicate your gift on your giving envelope, on your check, or choose Global Missions from the dropdown menu in the BBCC App. If you have other questions, please contact the church office, or the BBC mission team leader, Keith Ivey.
 
BBC works with these and other local partners. Feel free to contact or visit them to see how you and your Life Group can serve with them!
