MSSION GEORGIA:
Mission Georgia, an initiative of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, aims to provide gospel-centered care to the most vulnerable populations in Georgia through local churches. By obeying Christ's command to love our neighbors, Mission Georgia empowers Georgia Baptist churches to spread His transformative message throughout their communities.
For years, Mission Georgia has supported various Georgia Baptist programs through an annual offering and prayer emphasis. The program has grown under the leadership of GBMB Executive Director Thomas Hammond. In 2019, the state missions offering took on an expanded role that mobilizes churches year-round to serve populations often facing challenging circumstances.
Mission Georgia has identified five specific needs that are prevalent in every county in Georgia. These needs disproportionately affect children and youth, and many individuals who are are disconnected from regular church activities. By addressing tangible needs and providing hope, churches have the opportunity to meet their greatest need: a life in Christ. As Psalm 4:6 reminds us, "Many are asking, 'Who can show us any good?'"
The Five Specific areas are:
Ministry Opportunities:
