Special Missions Offering:

Our special missions offering for 2023 will be given to accelerate the training of local Christian leaders in Nepal.  Your gift will go directly to front-line leaders to spread the light of the gospel in this dark place.

Nepal is considered 88.9% unreached with over 27 million people and 258 unreached people groups.  We are partnering with Worldlink to reach the remote districts of western Nepal, especially Karnali and Sudurpashchim provinces.  The Worldlink target is to equip 400 local leaders and lay leaders each year continuously for five years.  Funds cover staff and training costs as well as the printing of resource materials.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 to cover the cost of this strategic initiative for one year.  To contribute, designate your gift for “Special Missions Offering” (checks payable to Goshen Baptist Church) by Sunday, Nov. 26.  Thank you in advance for your over-and-above gifts!

Jesus says, “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness” (John 12:46)
