Missionary Focused Sharpsburg Bible Church: Missionaries
Bringing the hope of Christ by partnering with local and world-wide missionaries. The church currently supporting sixteen different missionaries from as far as Africa to our local communities and organizations. Sharpsburg Bible Church is a missionary focused church through and through, wanting to reach EVERY man, woman, and child throughout the world and our community by being a light for Christ.
Remember to keep our missionaries in your thoughts and prayers as they are reaching others for Christ.
A Christian missionary is a person who dedicates his or her life to fulfilling the Great Commission: to preach the Gospel, baptizing and making disciples (https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.28.19-20.KJV). Often, the missionary will spread the Gospel while performing a practical service, such as working at an orphanage, teaching in missionary schools, teaching national people to be ministers, or providing medical care. There are as many different types of jobs in missions as there are in normal life. Some are translators, some pilots, and others help trafficking victims recover.
It takes a particular type of person to choose to spend a lifetime reaching those who desperately need Jesus but don't want to learn about Him. Missionaries must be very certain that Jesus means more to them than worldly things and bringing others to Jesus is more important than comfort.
