Missions

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!

We invite you to bring toilet paper, paper towels, and detergent to our Thanksgiving dinner on November 17.  We will donate these items to Victory Home that night to support their ministry!

Lottie Moon was a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873-1912.  During that time, she met so many people who had never heard the gospel, and she began writing letters to American churches, asking for prayer and financial support to send more missionaries.  Now, Southern Baptists collect the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering every year to continue to support missionaries around the world.  If you would like to make a donation this year, give online below or place your gift in an envelope marked Lottie Moon and place the envelope in any offering plate or box around the church.

In addition, our Lottie Moon Post Office will be open again this year from November 24-December 31.  Instead of mailing your Christmas cards to your Bethlehem friends, deliver your cards to our post office, located in the Fellowship Hall!  Then, we encourage you to donate the money you would have spent on postage to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering instead.  Please note that the post office only serves those who are part of Bethlehem.  We are currently unable to deliver or mail cards to those not in attendance.

The BBC Peru Mission Team went to Peru this past October. 6 went to work with our partner church Iglesia Evangelica Bautista El Rey Jesus in the communities of Candelaria, Eden de Manantial, and Vista Alegre.  They shared the Gospel through several days of medical mission projects, children's Bible clubs, and community visitation. They also participated in leadership training, two worship services, and an event for couples.
