Urbancrest Local Missions Blog Launch

The missions ministry mandate at Urbancrest Baptist Church is based on Matthew 28:19-20: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The strategy that we use to carry out that mandate is found in Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

The purpose of our ministry is to do just that! The strategy given in Acts 1:8 requires us to take His good news to everyone locally in Lebanon (our Jerusalem), regionally in Ohio (our Judea), in the United States (our Samaria), and to the ends of the earth.

We work and give to that very end. The Urbancrest Missions blog page is dedicated to keeping you informed of the many ministries and people that are involved in Urbancrest missions regionally, nationally, and to the ends of the earth. However, our local ministry is very multi-faceted and has a lot of activity throughout the year. For that reason, we have created a separate blog page that our Local Mission Strategist, Mike Wright, can use to bring you local mission news. You can read his first report at http://urbancrestlocalmissions.blogspot.com/ and you can sign up to receive his blog updates either by entering your email address on his blog homepage or by sending an email to mwright@urbancrest.org with "subscribe" in the subject line.

While this blog will keep you informed about Urbancrest ministries around the world, the Urbancrest Local Missions blog will give you a birds-eye-view of the work our church family is busy doing throughout Lebanon. Please subscribe to his blog and you will receive his updates via email!
