Missions is the work of God through the people-the
Church-by which the gospel of Jesus Christ is extended
in word and deed to all the people of the world.
It is important that all people have an opportunity to
radically participate in the mission of God. Therefore,
at Ascension Baptist Church we encourage members to
learn about missions, become involved in missions, and
live a lifestyle that exemplifies missions.
One way we do this is through the organizations known as
Women's Missionary Union (WMU) and Women's Ministry.
Through these organizations, members learn about the
work and needs of missionaries and have opportunities to
participate personally in missions projects. It is
possible for everyone to live out the call to love. The
third Wednesday evening of each month is Missions Night.
Currently, we have two on-going mission action projects:
(1) providing labeled individual servings of frozen
entrees for seamen who visit the Seamen's Center in
Gonzales and (2) creating "Toiletry Bags" for women who
are victims of domestic violence.
Missions is the work of God through the people-the
Church-by which the gospel of Jesus Christ is extended
in word and deed to all the people of the world. A
commitment to involvement in missions is an answer to
God's call to love, "Love the Lord your God with all
your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and
greatest commandment. And the second is like it: love
your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39
His,
Josey Balzer
