2015 Reach Teams

| 2015 REACH TEAMS

A few days ago, our Sunday evening worship time was devoted to hearing from a representative from every 2014 mission trip.

Their two-minute stories were remarkable, sharing how God had worked mightily in them as He moved lovingly among the lost in the places you’ll see in this guide.

As they shared, my heart was filled

with thanksgiving for what God is doing on behalf of the Great Commission through Taylors. As we all participate ­— praying, giving and going — ­ we walk side by side in delivering the most needed news imaginable.

So it’s fitting that our response is both worship and open hearts and minds as to what God would have us do in obedience to Jesus’ command to make disciples of all people everywhere. We do so in order to see more and more people worshipping Him forever one day.

Grateful for sharing in kingdom work together.

Because you gave to the 150th Anniversary Offering, we are thankful to give the following: A 50% scholarship* to Taylors members who join a 2015 REACH Team.

Knowing that short-term teams encourage the long-term workers and advance the long-term church planting efforts on the ground, we believe providing assistance for our members to go is an incredibly wise investment in long-term church planting.

REACH Team Scholarships: $116,312

Additional strategic funds to advance the gospel within our community, in our nation, and among all nations.

Key outreach opportunities in our community, as well as our least/unreached church planting partnerships, will receive funds for specific needs.

Partnership Support: $55,500**

The amounts above are in addition to our proposed $1,177,971 annual missions budget. *The 50% off scholarship replaces our team and first-time scholarships. **As you continue to give to the 150th Anniversary Offering, this amount will increase.

As an act of worship & for the glory of God, Taylors First Baptist Church will send our teams to make disciples within our nation and among all nations —­ that there will be a multitude from every tribe, tongue, and nation worshipping around the throne and the Lamb.
