Illinois couple among 62 commissioned to the nations

Phoenix | On a mild mid-February evening in Arizona, 62 missionaries were commissioned at an IMB Sending Celebration held at North Phoenix Baptist Church. These new missionaries will take their stations on the mission field fully funded because of the generous giving of tens of thousands of Southern Baptist Churches through the Cooperative Program and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Among them is an Illinois couple moving to a new location to reach a displaced population.

While the future missionaries awaited their time to walk the stage, IMB President Paul Chitwood set the context and gave the charge.

“What would compel them to leave the comforts of the wealthiest nation on the planet?” Chitwood asked. “They know that lostness is the greatest problem in the world because it’s the only problem that lasts beyond this world.”

Chitwood’s words were greeted with approving amens and nods from the audience of guests and family members, but the future missionaries, seated together on one side of the church, listened silently.

Each had a look of determination as they considered the challenges and potential hardships they faced.

For most of those being commissioned, the future challenges are not unknown. Of the 62, 57 have previous experience with the IMB: two grew up on the mission field as children of IMB missionaries, 12 served on shortterm mission trips, and 43 previously served with the IMB for terms of

three months or more.

“When only God has done what only God can do, who will tell what God has done?” Chitwood added.

Illinois Baptist couple Trent and Beth* were among those streaming across the stage, stopping for a brief moment behind the screen to share a snippet of their call to go.

The slow call

“I think it’s from all the short-term mission trips we’ve gone on,” Beth said, referring to her home church’s influence on her response to the mission call. “We ended up working with an IMB missionary for the shortterm trips, and that’s how we started to discover more of the opportunities from the IMB.”

For Trent and Beth (not their real names due to the security issues in the location of their assignment), the call to carry the gospel to North Africans came gradually. It is now clearly impressed on their hearts.

The young couple grew up in Illinois churches committed to both practical and financial engagement with Southern Baptist missions. As they continued to follow a growing passion to make Jesus known among other nations, they stepped into longer service experiences beyond those first short-term trips, while they navigated the typical twenty-something choices of colleges and career paths. Eventually, a one-year term in Latin America solidified their calling to be career missionaries.

Trent recognized God’s hand not only in calling them, but also in orchestrating their lives to prepare them for the mission field. Their career training in the education

and medical fields prior to IMB service opened doors to serve in places of greater darkness with limited access.

That led to a full multi-year term of missionary service to the North African and Middle Eastern Peoples, comprising 740 unreached people groups (UPG). The IMB defines an UPG as less than 2% Christian. More than half of the North African UPGs are considered “unengaged,” which means there are currently no known church planting efforts to reach them with the gospel.

but to reach them in Europe.

For this Illinois couple, their first tour as career missionaries was in their people group’s homeland. The desert of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula is a dramatically different world than the global west of North America and Europe. Described as a place of extravagant wealth and extreme poverty, this land of deserts and megacities is primarily Islamic, though there are significant pockets of Judaism and Christianity.

What marks this region, however, is unrest, with 65% of the world’s current global conflicts happening in North Africa and the Middle East. These conflicts have forced many inhabitants of the region to flee, with millions seeking asylum in Europe.

As Trent and Beth stood behind the white, backlit display emblazoned with the IMB logo, with only their silhouettes visible, they prepared to go back to reach these same peoples,

Trent described them as people who are “economically, socially, and linguistically disadvantaged outside their homelands.”

Before, the missionaries were the outsiders, surrounded by their mission field. In this new season, their challenge is to find these transplanted North Africans and discern the best ways to access, serve, and reach them with the gospel in a very different context.

Their prayer request is for the transition for their own young family into another new city, new house, new world. And most of all for quick friendships, Beth said, because relationships with North Africans means opportunities to share the gospel.

The next Sending Celebration will be in conjunction with the 2024 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, in June.
