Purpose | Values | Priorities | Missionaries
Global missions have been a part of Racine Bible Church since its very beginning over 80 years ago. In obedience to the Great Commission and as servants of Christ, we have sought and will continue to seek to proclaim the Gospel within the U.S.A. and in countries around the world.
Our mission and purpose as stated in Matthew 28:18-20 have not changed but the “face of missions” and how we carry out our responsibilities are changing. The numbers of unreached peoples and people groups in the world combined with the cost for churches in America to fund world missions is a demanding and seemingly daunting task. Obviously Christ says in Matthew 16:18, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. But for churches to more fully participate in global missions it requires a greater focus on planting, developing and working with local indigenous churches to reach out to others of different ethnic backgrounds and nationalities in their own context.
To “pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Matt 9:38) and do all we can as a church to raise up individuals / families to respond to this prayer.
