Focus on Mission
There are a number of people who attend our church who have a heart for missionary work both at home and abroad. With this in mind we are planning to form a missionary committee to develop our approach to missionary work/funding. As a Baptist Church we already have links to the BMS, which we need to foster and develop. Our selected missionary’s i.e. the family we support are due to finish their term in the summer, so we have to select another missionary person/family. As we have a very tight deadline, we have picked four from the list and sent the names to the BMS. These four names will be reviewed and the BMS will allocate one for us.
However we want to support other people, agencies and projects, so we are looking for you to help us in two areas:
1. If as a regular attender at Wymondham Baptist Church you would like to become part of the Missionary Committee, then please pass your name onto Jayne Poynts. The Missionary Committee will be meeting on 22.04.08 at 7.30pm.
2. If you don’t want to join the Committee but have people or projects that you feel our church should support, then please contact Jayne or add the names of the people, projects or agencies via a comment on this blog.
I am sure that this committee will allow God to use it, in progressing His kingdom through out the world.

There’s an element of me that is uneasy about having a missionary “committee”, quite simply because I fear it minimises the importance of mission for the church.
One of the Baptist Union’s “Five Core Values for a Gospel People” is that Baptist churches are called to be a missionary community. I’m concerned that mission can become ‘just an item on the agenda’ when in reality it should be the *whole* agenda.
Just my two pence…
