MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Co-Laborers with Christ,
Thank you so much for taking time to visit the BMFP web site. It is our desire to be a blessing and help to you and especially those who have answered the call of missions.
Based on Jeremiah 1:7, “for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak,” Baptist Missions to Forgotten Peoples exist to aid Independent Baptist churches in the fulfillment of the great commission. Our aim is reaching a world that needs the Gospel. We work alongside the local church to provide aid, watch care, and accountability of their missionary as they follow the leadership of the Lord in missionary service.
Though the primary emphasis of Baptist Missions to Forgotten Peoples is church planting, we do realize that there are other areas of missionary work that help and assist the building of a local church. Innovative methods are used to reach and evangelize the “Pocket Peoples” or targeted people groups of the world. We categorize these groups into ethnic, social, vocational, and educational divisions.
Our prayer is that God would burden you to reach the forgotten peoples of this world. It may be in church planting or in the various areas of helps ministry. The goal is to produce local churches that have a heart to fulfill the great commission. We stand ready to help local churches as they send their missionaries to the mission fields of the world. Will you be the one who will say, “Here am I Lord, Send me?”
