Missions

Our church currently supports nine missionary families serving in various places around the world, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every October, our church holds a weekend missions conference to hear from different missionaries. Also, we seek to send a team on a short term missions trip to another culture at least every other year.  


Missionaries we support:

  • Dr. Samuel Stephens in India

    The Wichita India Project (WIP) is a strategic plan involving a number of area churches to saturate the unreached Visianagaram people in the region of southern India with the Gospel.  In conjunction with the India Gospel League, this plan supports Dr. Samuel Stephens and involves evangelism, church planting, church building, and pastoral training so that the 300,000 inhabitants of this region can know Christ.  Your Faith Promise gifts have been a part of this project since 1997.   www.iglworld.org  

  • James BiakLian in Myanmar (formerly Burma)

    James BiakLian & wife Sui have been working in Myanmar since 1992.  They are working in a very hostile political world.  They continue to teach & train pastors in their native language, as well as pastor a church and lead a fellowship of over 30 other churches across the country.  They have rebuilt after a fire and helped after floods, and  continue to teach and train workers for our Lord.  You may e-mail them at jblian143@gmail.com

  • Peter Mitskevich in Russia

    Peter Mitskevich and his family of 5 serve in Moscow.  A native of Russia, Peter is now the president (Rector) of Moscow Theological Institute.  Besides training in the theological school, Peter is Vice President of the Russian Baptist Association.  Peter has also been serving as the senior pastor at Golgatha Baptist Church in Moscow since 1997.  Your Faith Promise Missions gifts have been working through Peter’s ministry since 1992.  Their website is very nice and has short videos of Peter.  They especially need our prayers, as the Russian government has made things more difficult for Christians.  See him at:  www.russianleadership.org

  • Chuck & Helen Todd with World Missions Alliance

    WMA Focuses on Evangelizing and distributing Bibles in the most hostile of countries: Nepal, Northern Iraq, Egypt, China and Russia and entering new countries in Europe and Africa.  They are now also beginning to provide medical clinics.  We have supported them since 2008. Visit@rfwma.org

  • Ramesh Richard working worldwide

    Ramesh Richard and his ministry RREACH, Int. have a unique opportunity to serve the Lord on a truly global scale. By looking for key places to minister, RREACH has the vision of making a global impact through taking advantage of strategic opportunities.  These opportunities have included giving Bible study aids and training seminars to third-world pastors, sponsoring key evangelical students so they can study and prepare for ministry, spread the Gospel via a worldwide TV broadcast, and provide buildings in third world countries so the Gospel can be proclaimed.  Your Faith Promise Missions gifts have been at work through the ministry of RREACH since 1989.  Only 5% of the world’s Christian pastors have seminary training, so RREACH ministry provides a very needed service to 3rd world pastors.  info@rreach.org

  • Children's Haven International in Mexico

    Childrens Haven International (CHI) in Reynosa Mexico provides a home to needy children from broken, abandoned, abused, or impoverished children. We have provided financial support and 3 short term mission outreaches to these kids and CHI. Consider going on the next trip! Talk to any who have gone and find out more.
