MISSIONARY
is a term given to a Christian messenger who has a message from God and is sent
forth by divine authority for the definite purpose of evangelism. To evangelize
means to present the gospel across national, cultural, or religious lines for
the conversion of the unbeliever or non-believer so he or she may become a
believer in Jesus Christ. The word ‘missionary’ comes from the Latin word
“mitto” which means “I send" and is related to the New Testament
“apostello”which means "to send".
As members of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, we are
missionaries because we have been sent Biblically to preach the gospel and to
help those who are in need, spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially.
We are composed of a senior and youth department. The missionary circle is an
organized auxiliary of the church with the responsibility of learning and
teaching how to win the lost to Christ. It helps the church teach missions. Some
ways this is done are by:
Studying the Bible as the basic guide for missions.
Reading missionary books and other Christian literature
for further clarification.
Stewardship – being a trustee of our lives, time, talents
and resources.
Edification to Christ through personal service to others
at home and abroad.
Visitation to the sick, shut-in, imprisoned, backslider,
unsaved or unchurched.
Sharing our resources with the foreign fields, and those
who service our country.
