The Scriptural purpose of First Assembly of God's
involvement in Missions is:
-- To carry out the Great Commission,"Therefore go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I
am with you always, to the very end of the age" Matthew
28:19-20.
-- To minister to the total human need."And if anyone
gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones
because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly
not lose his reward" Matthew 10:42. "I tell you the
truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because
you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward" Mark
9:41.
-- That men and women will be saved and taught in the knowledge
of God."to prepare God's people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ may be built up" Ephesians
4:12.

First Assembly Missions Goals: -- To increase monthly support of our partners
5-10% each time they return for furlough.
-- To establish 5-6 new partnerships each year.
-- To take one construction trip out of the country each year
at a cost of $1200 to $1500 per person and a project of $10-15,000.
-- To send teams out for ministry trips with our partners, ie:
Book of Hope Distribution, Evangelism Teams, Healthcare Teams
and Prayer trips.
We need your help to meet these goals. Our partners need your
help to faithfully pray, give and go. And, those who Christ
gave His life for need your help so they can hear the Good
News and find their Savior.
