OUR MISSION STATEMENT
In commitment to Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior and to the mission of the church
and through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, American
Baptist Women's Ministries provide opportunities for each
woman to:
More than 100 years ago a
group of Christian women, concerned about the evangelization
of women in other lands, met to formulate a plan of support
for the employment of Christian missionaries overseas.
During these 100 years
many changes have taken place. American Baptist Women's
Ministries has remained a biblically-based Christian
organization reaching out to all women in all nations.
OUR FOCUS: PEOPLE &
MINISTRY
Personal Development
Ministries provides opportunities for each woman to become
and develop as God's person; deepen her faith, develop her
gifts and become a more effective Christian disciple and
steward. (Romans 12:1-2)
Church and Community
Ministries provides opportunities for women to build God's
faith community; develop relationships and meet the physical
and spiritual needs of others in their homes and their
communities. (Ephesians 4:15-16 and Luke 4:16-19)
Mission and Service
Ministries provides opportunities for women to serve God's
world; participate in American Baptist mission outreach and
meet the physical and spiritual needs of others in our
nation and in God's world. (Mark 12:28-34)
WHITE CROSS
Through White Cross
gifts, church members provide urgently-needed supplies that
cannot be purchased with limited mission budgets. Through
the years, American Baptist women have given leadership in
this ministry, which now provides some $800,000 annually in
mission support. The object is to serve the Mission front;
to bring cheer and comfort to missionaries, to serve
humanity by relieving suffering and want and to aid all
evangelical and educational agencies of the denomination.
