The Great Commission is at the heart of our calling as a church, and by God’s grace, Faith Bible Fellowship Church has continued to take part in His work among the nations. As we reflect on 2024 and anticipate what’s ahead in 2025, we are reminded of the generosity of our congregation and the opportunities the Lord has given us to partner with His global mission.
Encouragement from 2024
Through the faithful giving and prayers of our church family, we were able to continue supporting our missionaries, host key missions events, and engage with the work God is doing both locally and around the world. One of the highlights of the year was our Missions Sunday, which, while revealing areas for growth, also served as an encouragement as we gathered to celebrate and support global and local outreach efforts.
In addition, we had the joy of welcoming missionaries and ministry partners who shared firsthand about the ways the gospel is advancing. We also raised support for special projects, including a Christmas offering that helped fund a church building project for one of our global partners.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we enter the new year, our missions team is eager to build upon what God has already been doing. Here are a few key initiatives we are pursuing:
Deepening Our Missionary Relationships – We desire to strengthen our support and encouragement of those we already partner with, ensuring they remain connected to our congregation in prayer and practical support.
Send Sunday – Our next Missions Sunday will be intentionally designed to help us seek the Lord’s will for how our church can continue “holding the rope” for our missionaries—or even sending out workers of our own.
Growing in Missions Awareness – We are prayerfully considering hosting The Missions Course, a resource designed to equip our congregation with a deeper understanding of God’s heart for the nations.
Praying for New Missionaries – As we support global workers, we are also asking the Lord to raise up a long-term missionary or church planter from within our congregation to be sent out in the coming years.
How You Can Be Involved
None of this is possible without the faithful participation of our church family. We invite you to continue praying, giving, and seeking the Lord’s guidance for how He may be calling you to take part in global missions. Whether through supporting a missionary, joining our missions team, or simply learning more about how God is working worldwide, there are countless ways to engage.
May the Lord continue to use Faith Bible Fellowship Church to proclaim His name among the nations. To learn more about how you can be involved, reach out to our church by email at office@faithbfcyork.org.
