by Dr. John David Smith,
Executive Director BMAA Missions
World Missions Sunday is February 24th. This day is intended to draw our focus toward a missionary God and our role as an association of churches in His global mission. This day is also a day to express our gratitude to our awesome God for his faithfulness in and through BMAA international and North American missions. God has indeed blessed us to be able to expand to 78 countries in the world where we have hundreds of humble servants who are proclaiming the message of Jesus Christ.
We stand poised to send as many as ten new missionary families this coming year. If this indeed takes place, it will represent the highest number of American missionaries that our association has ever had on the mission field (around 60). Combine these American missionaries with the hundreds of national missionaries we partner with around the globe, and you see both the opportunity and responsibility we steward.
We continue to cry out to God to allow us to see a church multiplication movement here in the U.S. We pray that our churches are becoming convinced of their need to reproduce. The BMAA missions department is ready to come alongside your church with orientation, assessment, training, coaching, and partnerships in planting churches here in the U.S.
Our Perpetual Prayer Calendar will be mailed the first of February with the intention that our people will begin praying through the calendar on World Missions Sunday. These calendars are provided by the department of missions for your use in praying for our missionaries throughout the year. You may order your calendars now by calling our office: 501-455-4977 ext. 29 or by sending an e-mail.
