Our missions budget enables us to support 13 missionaries and ministries, providing essential resources, and financial assistance to further their work across various regions. At the same time, we remain dedicated to active outreach in our own community. Brisbin Baptist rejoices in the opportunity to be part of spreading the gospel, reaching the Moshannon Valley and beyond. Through these efforts, we build connections with families and individuals, offering hope and sharing the message of love and, most importantly, salvation through Jesus Christ. Our commitment to missions strengthens our church family and broadens our impact, touching lives both near and far.
We currently support the following missionaries and ministries.
