Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
We believe that Jesus has called all Christians to fulfill the great commission. This is the command to go into all the world and make disciples. Our goal is to see the advance of the gospel for the glory of God. We achieve this goal two ways: actively participating in domestic and foreign missions and funding domestic and foreign missions through both associational giving, direct funding, and various mission offerings such as the Lottie Moon Christmas offering.
Meet the Brazil team.
Coty Dunaway
"What a great opportunity to make an impact for the glory of God. 78% of Brazilians identify as Roman Catholic. I believe this familiarity with a corrupted view of the gospel makes them among the most difficult people groups to reach and one that I am very passionate about. para a glória de Deus."
Stephen Stanford
"Jesus' last words to us were to make disciples of nations. When presented with the opportunity to do so, I have a hard time saying no. God has been so gracious to allow me to know Him and His salvation through Christ and I want to share that knowledge."
Megan Stanford
"I am very excited for the opportunity the Lord has presented to me to go to Brazil this summer. This will be my third overseas mission trip, but first that is faith based only. Previously, I have had a 'crutch' of using my medical profession to be a buffer to presenting the gospel during my previous trips. I know that I will have to rely solely on the Lord, and I know He will grow me and use me in ways that only He can this summer."
Candi Sparkman
"I am absolutely thrilled to share the gospel with people who have no idea how awesome God is. I am praying that God will use our team in a might way for his glory to make heaven crowded. I am very excited to share this experience with my son. A personal prayer is that God will allow us to return with a fire, one that never fades, that spreads throughout our church that we may impact Tippah County."
Eli Sparkman
"I am looking forward to this mission trip to Brazil to help teach others about Christ. It blows my mind that there are people in the world who have never heard about God. I want to share what God has done for me to the people in Brazil."
Jacie Dunaway
"I am so excited to go to Brazil to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am thankful for every opportunity to share how good Jesus has been to me and the joy that I have in him. I hope that the people of Brazil see how good our God really is and that he is capable of transforming lives."
Keaton Wilkerson
"I am excited to go to Brazil with a great team of believers to spread the Gospel throughout different areas of the country. Since 8th grade, I have felt like God has been calling me to engage in missions. Saying that, this will be my very first mission trip and I'm looking forward to furthering the kingdom of God."
Ellie Griffin
"I have always had a heart for missions. My favorite verse is Romans 1:16 which says, 'I am not ashamed of the Gospel.' I pray that the people of Brazil see that we are not ashamed to share the Gospel. It is an honor to be supported by a loving church and have the opportunity to go on this trip"
Ronnie Blythe
"When I became a Christian, God gave me a desire to be a positive influence in the lives of others. Through this trip, I pray that God will use me to positively influence the people of Brazil with the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ!"
