The Great Commission
The very first year, our interest turned to the Great Commission. Our first missionaries were Mr. and Mrs. Dave Whitmore from the West Indies Mission. Over the years the number of missionaries grew and the church budget has always had a large missions budget. The church has been fortunate to have several of our children grow up and train for the mission field. The main focus of supported overseas work is church planting. The church hosts our missionaries that visit on furlough, giving the missionary an opportunity to share their ministry report. The ladies may plan a luncheon with the missionary women. Members of the Council or the missions committee (if active) will usually meet with the missionary to ensure their ministry is still consistent with the church’s missions policy. We have found that by putting the Lord’s interest first, He has taken care of our daily needs. Giving as the Lord leads has always been taught at Faith Bible Church, and as many throughout the years have obeyed the Lord in this matter, He blessed them and the church. We give Him thanks and we appreciate the obedience of God’s children.
