Missions

“Go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone”

Mark 16:15 (NLT)

We are excited about missions and sharing the good news of God’s love with the world. We have the privilege of supporting those in need through prayer, financial support or short term mission trips.

At Ashburton Baptist Church, we have been involved in overseas missions for over 100 years, supporting missionaries of varying ages all around the world. Our involvement in overseas missions continues today as we partner with missionaries based in various countries in the Pacific region and the Asian continent. This support includes physical projects in the form of building construction, preaching, teaching and local evangelism.

As members of the Baptist Union, we are also members of the New Zealand Baptist Missionary Society (NZBMS) of which there are four arms—Tranzsend, Banzaid, Mission World, and Marketplacers.
