Misisons
Why do we do missions?
Simple. Jesus commanded us to. In the Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus told his disciples “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you…” A very clear direction for all who follow Jesus. In our mission to follow the Great Commission, Lone Oak FBC uses the strategy exemplified in Acts 1:8 to carry the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world by being “witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).” In our world:
We are not alone in these efforts. Through the Cooperative Program, Southern Baptist Churches give a percentage of their undesignated receipts in support of their respective state convention and the Southern Baptist Convention missions and ministries. Above the efforts of the KBC and SBC, churches across the country also support their own short term mission teams carrying the Word far and wide just as Jesus instructed.
What can you do?
Pray. Prayer is the most effective tool we have. Pray regularly for your Southern Baptist missionaries in your state and around the globe.
Go. Be involved in some sort of missions endeavor. Lone Oak FBC supports numerous short term mission trips annually in all fields. We have monthly mission efforts through Mission McCracken. And we have several family members that have dedicated their lives to full time service.
Give. Out of love for the Lord, give regularly to Him. If you are not tithing, begin to do so and also discover the blessings of giving beyond the tithe. Above the Cooperative Program, Lone Oak FBC supports special offerings through the year for mission efforts; Annie Armstrong, Eliza Broadus, Lone Oak FBC Benevolence Fund and Lottie Moon.
