“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” —Acts 1:8 (HCSB)
The multiplying churches group exists to assist your church or association in fulfilling the great commission through transformational partnerships in Missouri, the United States, and around the world. By cooperating together and giving through the Cooperative Program, Missouri Baptist churches are able to accomplish much more in missions than any individual church or association can accomplish on their own. Missouri Baptist cooperation makes it possible for even the smallest church to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Whereas a traditional approach to partnership missions is often needs-based, short-term relief efforts, our vision embraces long-term development and relationships. Partners commit to one another as the body of Christ by utilizing everyone’s skills and resources. Churches, associations, and missions are encouraged to prevent dependency and develop self-sufficiency. Partnership opportunities are available both locally and globally, and are categorized as North American partnerships and international partnerships.
