We are
involved in missions in a variety of different
ways. We are involved locally, nationally and
internationally.
Local
Missions: We are
involved with and participate in the
Mississippi River Ministry. This is a ministry
of Southern Baptist Convention that operates
through the North American Mission Board. It
involves ministry in the 8 states that boarder
the Mississippi. It
involves coordinating efforts in these states
to minister to the poor and needy through the
local churches. We join in with our sister
churches in the Beulah Baptist association to
serve in the Obion, Lake and Tipton county
areas to minister to those in need. Repairing
roofs, wheelchair ramps, repairing floors,
bathrooms and many more needs that are too
numerous to mention here are carried out by
churches working together for a common goal to
glorify our heavenly Father and aid our fellow
man.
National
Missions: We have
partnered with our sister churches in our
association to carry out missions in
Mississippi, Louisiana, Nebraska, Missouri,
Kentucky and Okalahoma. We have construction
and ministry opportunities on all of these
mission endeavors. We are truly blessed to have
such a neighborhood of churches in our area
that labor together for the Kingdom of God! God
is always glorified in missions and much more
when sister churches labor together! We believe
in that at Johnson Grove Baptist
church.
International
Missions: We
have been on mission in Puerto Rico, Mexico,
St. Thomas( U.S. Virgin Island). On these
recent trips we have labored along side our
International Mission Board appointed
missionaries as they seek to minister to the
people. These trips have involved
construction of all types as well as
evangelism, and revival opportunities. We
also have partnered with our local churches
on these international endeavors. We have a
strong conviction that we can accomplish
more together with our sister churches than
we can as a individual church. Our Heavenly
Father has blessed this conviction we hold
fast to in our faith and service to His
Kingdom.
