In recent years, FBCS has been growing in our response to the call to missions. Jesus commanded us to not only love Him but also to love others. We love others best when we introduce them to a relationship with Jesus Christ. Below are some answers to some very important questions about missions at FBC Saltillo:

Q: How does FBCS accomplish a mission focus?
A: We take our strategy from Jesus’ teaching in Acts 1:8  (“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.)

Jerusalem – The city and region of Saltillo

Judea – Our state and nearby states

Samaria – Other areas of the United States

The ends of the earth – Other nations needing the Gospel

Q: What types of mission opportunities has FBCS been involved in?
A: We have helped serve our “Jerusalem” by doing clothing giveaways, our food pantry, housing projects, evangelistic events, etc. We have served our “Judea” by helping restore the Gulf Coast after hurricane Katrina. We have served our “Samaria” by partnering with churches in Wyoming and Colorado to help them renovate their facilities and partner with them to reach their area. We have served “the ends of the earth” by a few foreign mission trips (Romania, Belize, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo).

Q: Why are we doing this?
A: We believe that the Gospel can transform the life of any man, woman, and child by introducing them into a personal and eternal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind. We believe that those who die without a relationship with Christ will spend eternity in hell separated from Him and those who receive Christ will spend eternity in heaven with Him.

Q: How can I be a part and help?
A: God has given each of us three ways to be involved. First, you can pray for God’s leadership and guidance. Second, you can go. Make the investment in eternity to go on a local or foreign mission trip. Third, you can give. Mission trips are costly and your generosity can help send someone to spread the hope of the Gospel to others who need it. You may give in person at our church location or you can give online.
