Missions opportunities still open to Ala. Baptists

Alabama Baptists] are Great Commission Christians and want to tell the good news of Jesus Christ in Alabama, in Michigan and around the world,” said Reggie Quimby, director of the office of global missions for the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.

And even though Alabama Baptists’ partnership with Michigan Baptists is nearing its end, there are still opportunities for them to help their fellow believers reach Michigan for Christ.

Escambia Baptist Association is taking a small team of pastors to Michigan’s Central Baptist Association March 28–31. It is a “discovery trip” to find opportunities for missions teams to go to Michigan in June and July.

“We are hoping to make connections with Michigan folks and see where it goes from there,” said Pat Andrews, director of missions (DOM) for Escambia Association.

This summer, three Hispanic Baptist churches in Alabama will begin a partnership with Hispanic Baptists in Michigan. Primera Hispana Baptist Church, Albertville; Primera Iglesia Bautista, Enterprise; and Iglesia Cristiana Agape, Hoover, will send teams to Lansing, Mich., June 30–July 3 and July 28–31 to work with Vacation Bible schools and do street evangelism, prayer walking and construction projects. The Hispanic Baptist Association in Alabama and the three churches are sponsoring the trips. Volunteers are still needed.

On Sept. 18–23, Colbert-Lauderdale Baptist Association will sponsor a construction missions trip to the association it partners with in Michigan, Central Association. Plans are to take about 20 people, but more volunteers are still needed to help remodel and improve a church building.
