"For the love of Christ urges us on...."
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
As part of American Baptist Churches USA, National Ministries answers God's call to live out Christian faith and transform individuals, congregations and communities through developing Christ-centered leadership, networks and programs committed to witness and evangelism, social justice, discipleship and mission work across the United States and Puerto Rico.
This means that more than 1,300 mission partners, working with National Ministries, minister to those in need — emotional, physical, financial and spiritual — every day as chaplains and pastoral counselors, refugee sponsors, directors of Christian centers, volunteers and new church planters. These mission partners are on the front lines of faith, bringing God's love to those who need it most: families trapped in poverty, older folk struggling with illness and loneliness, pastors planting churches in growing neighborhoods, Sunday school teachers and youth ministers guiding and encouraging children to grow in faith.
But the list doesn't stop there. National Ministries also supports NEW LIFE 2010 — the American Baptist vision of reaching 1,000,010 new disciples, planting 1,010 new churches and vitalizing a multitude of caring ministries to transform its churches by 2010 — assuring vital witness for tomorrow.
The work of National Ministries reaches from Alabama to Alaska, Pennsylvania to Puerto Rico, and so much further — to the deepest parts of the human heart. You'll find our story on the pages of this Web site. See for yourself all that we are.
