Missions

The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 9:37-38
The policy of this church is to support missions engaged principally in New Testament evangelism and church planting. A missionary should have a clear salvation testimony, be mature in the faith, and be actively involved in the church ministries, especially in evangelism. Each missionary supported by our church is in agreement with our Articles of Faith, both in doctrine and in practice, and Baptist in name as well as policy, and is part of a separated, fundamental missions agency, which emphasizes planting separated, fundamental, independent Baptist churches. Our major emphasis for support is to both home and foreign church planting missionaries.
Each Missionary supported by our church: Writes to the church at least quarterly about his work. Visits the church at least every 5 years and report in person on his work during a service, unless his work prohibits. Provides an annual assessment of ministries on the field and of financial needs.	In return, our church: Prays regularly for each missionary and his work Provides regular financial support by systematic giving and special offerings. Encourages the missionaries with our letters and gifts as the Lord allows. When possible, visits each missionary on the field at some time during his missionary career to provide encouragement and assistance in the ministry where appropriate.
Missionary Bulletin Board devoted to missionary information is maintained in the foyer of the church to provide information about our missionaries, their fields of service, and current correspondence from them. Missions Conferences are held annually to promote missions among the congregation and to further expose the members to the possibility of missionary service. At this time, the conference is scheduled in late April and is a round-robin conference with sister independent Baptist churches in the northern NJ area. Missionaries also speak in Parsippany Christian School as a part of the conference. Mission Trips are planned periodically to assist missionaries on their fields in the work as we are invited to visit and work with them. Members are encouraged to participate to provide a better understanding of the work and call of missions. Flags representing countries and US states where our missionaries serve are displayed in the auditorium to remind our congregation to pray regularly for the missionary work in these areas.
