“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
Christ instructed us to share the gospel to every creature, that includes people locally, and globally. Down East Baptist Church fully believes in supporting missionaries. Although every person may not be able to travel to another state or country to spread the gospel, we can help support those who are called to do so. We are thankful for the missionaries, and their families, who make sacrifices daily in order to share the story of Jesus, his love, and how he died for our sins.
