Mission Education Organizations- Bible-based … Church-centered … World Focused

/files/Pictures/Missions/Missions Education/family trans bg.pngSouthern Baptists have long been the leaders in shaping and discipling Christians to be on mission for Christ. In order to reach the globe with the gospel in an Acts 1:8 paradigm, it is paramount that churches have a strategy for teaching and modeling to members not only about missions in a far off context, but how young and old can be missional Christians right where they live.

Among Southern Baptists there are two organizations who take the lead in Missions Education, particularly among children and young people. The North American Mission Board (this was formerly done by Men's Brotherhood) has a role with boys grade 1 through 6, and has developed DIME (Drop in Missions Education) suitable for use in any existing children's programs. There is also, through the Acts 1:8 Challenge initiative, a number of free comprehensive, age-graded Missions curriculum worthy of every church's attention. 

The Women's Missionary Union has long served to bring missions education to the churches to a broad array of age and gender groups. WMU’s purposes is to educate about missions. This objective is met through age-level organizations / programs formed in churches and through their many mission publications and resources.

WMU forms organizations according to age groups d
esigned to equip individuals and churches to fulfill their roles in Christ’s mandate to make disciples of all peoples through …

  • Witnessing to our neighbors – near and far!
  • Praying for others who are sharing the Good News – near and far!
  • Giving that all may hear – near and far!
  • Acknowledging God’s call for each to be missionaries wherever God places us – near and far!
We encourage churches to not allow Missions Education to be an afterthought. Rather than starting or operating ministries with a plug-in-play strategy of expediency, develop a comprehensive missional high impact discipleship program in order that serving on mission becomes an expression of the total life of the church community.
