April Focus: Local Missions and Non-SBC Missionaries
Most of the months of each year we focus on Missions with the Southern Baptist Church. This month we want to turn our focus to some other missionaries whom we help support that are with other organizations. The information about the organizations was found on their websites.
First is Randall and Luda Ford who serve in Jerusalem with Chosen People Ministries. The information on Chosen Peoples Ministries says that they exist to pray for, evangelize, disciple, and serve Jewish people everywhere and to help fellow believers do the same.
The mission was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1894 by Rabbi Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian Jewish immigrant with a zeal to share the knowledge of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah with God’s chosen people. Today, Chosen People Ministries serves in eighteen countries across the globe. Our outreach programs include evangelism and discipleship, Messianic Centers and congregations, equipping the local church for Jewish evangelism, digital evangelism through our Isaiah 53 Campaigns and I Found Shalom videos, and benevolence work. With your help, we will continue proclaiming the Good News through Jesus the Messiah to Jewish people around the world.
Second is Elisa Groth who is currently serving with Barnabas International. Barnabas International exists to edify, encourage, enrich, and strengthen servants in ministry. We creatively seek ways to fulfill our charter through a variety of ministry models. We are pastoral care providers, shepherding the hearts and souls of God’s people. Our ministry priorities are targeted toward global servants, pastors, national church leaders, and their families.
Barnabas International is named after a first century disciple. You’ll find his story beginning in Acts 4:36. He’s mentioned often in the book of Acts: in fact, only Paul and Peter are referred to more frequently, yet most people don’t even know his given name. Why is this? Barnabas lived to serve others. His given name was Joseph, but the Christians nicknamed him “Barnabas” because it meant “son of encouragement.” Barnabas came alongside people in times of challenge and helped them. It is the hope of each Barnabas staff member that we, like this disciple, might be people of encouragement. The goal of Barnabas International is to equip, edify, encourage, and enrich God’s servants so that they are refreshed in their souls and renewed in their service.
