Mission Committee

    MISSIONS COMMITTEE OPERATION

    Our purpose:

        In conjunction with the  Mission and Vision of Hilltown Batist Church , the Missions Committee strives to promote the worldwide proclaimation of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the development, encouragement and support of those called of God to full-time ministry as His messengers.


    Our Responsibilities: 

    • Pray for our missionaries.
    • Have an awareness of our missionaries’ spiritual, mental, physical and financial needs and respond by:

      • providing emergency funding for special needs,
      • reviewing financial support, based on inflation, valuation of USD, and other factors, and adjust accordingly,
      • helping missionaries acclaimate back into US culture during home assignment,
      • meeting practical need from our missionary closet,
      • as possible, send pastors, committee members and church members to visit missionaries in the field, to learn of, support and encourage them in their work, and
      • communicate with mission or sending agency when needs of the missionary exceed our ability to resolve issues.

    • Provide a venue for missionaries to share their work, needs and prayer requests with the church membership (church services, discipleship hour, youth programs, displays and communication of prayer letters. 
    • Maintain reserve funds to help "jump-start" new HBC missionaries.
    • Encourage short-term missionary trips by helping to fund youth and adults interested in helping our missionaries in the field.
    • Regularly evaluate missionary performance with missionaries and their mission or sending agency.
