Going

25 years carrying water to a dry land

When Tennessee Baptists went to Burkina Faso to dig wells, they also carried Living Water.  See how prayer made a difference for one team working with the Wala people.

 

Partnership options 'exploding'

The focus on reaching people groups means more churches - small or large - can engage in missions partnerships.

News

Arabs take camel trek through the Sahara to spread the Gospel

Three months on camels in the scorching Sahara. Beaten. Kidnapped. All to bring Jesus to isolated oasis camps inhabited by nomads - hostile strangers who might not give you water during your journey, much less listen to your message.

 

Korean students answer call

Hundreds of students at Korea's Baptist theological seminary made commitments to international missions.

That all peoples may know Him

Video: Why didn't they?

Why didn't someone tell me the story of Jesus sooner? Use this man's story to challenge your congregation with that question as they give to international missions.

Speaking of missions

Missions by the Book: The Word became flesh

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" -- John 1:14, NIV.

Quotable: Tellers of truth

"Great artists in every age and every medium - writing, painting, music, film - are seekers and tellers of truth." - Erich Bridges in "Worldview: The meaning is the message"
