Missions education:

What's fact and what's fiction? Is it just studying about missionaries or is it discovering your God-given call to be on mission? Is it just for kids or can it involve people of all ages? Is it just for traditional churches? Does it make a difference in the life of a church?

The Missions Support Team is here to help you sort out fact from fiction about missions education. We can assist you in developing missions involvement that works for your church.

Why should you have missions education?

  • To awaken believers to their God-given call to be on mission
  • To equip people with skills to do the Great Commission
  • To involve more members in praying for and giving to missions
  • To develop members spiritually toward a missions lifestyle through Bible study and hands-on involvement
  • To involve more members in doing missions in their community, state, nation, and world
  • To raise up advocates for missions causes

Missions discipleship is being intentional about praying, training, and equipping disciples who make disciples and carry the message of Christ to a lost and dying world.

How to Reach Muslims in Your Area
musilmsReaching Muslims with the gospel of Jesus Christ is no longer the sole responsibility of our international mission partners in the Middle East, Africa, or Asia.  Muslims are now our neighbors in the United States of America.  There are Muslim doctors, teachers, and businessmen/women right here in Arkansas.   If you don’t already have a Muslim living on your street, working near you, or attending school with your children, you likely will in the future.  Muslims need and deserve an authentic Christian witness.
