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.
