Evangelical Baptist Missions<\/a> is closing its doors on Sep. 2, 2011.\u00a0 Faith Global Ministries<\/a>, a ministry of Faith Church <\/a>is ramping up to accept transfer missionaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Faith Global Ministries<\/a>, LLC (FGM<\/a>), a ministry of Faith Church<\/a>, was organized in the State of Indiana August 5, 2005 for the primary purpose of recruiting, preparing, sending and supporting of missionaries to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.\u00a0 Until 2011 FGM primarily provided administrative and planning services related to short-term missions trips.\u00a0 In 2010 FGM <\/a>took in a test case missionary.\u00a0 The test case succeeded, so in August 2011 FGM<\/a>\u00a0opened its doors to assist evangelical churches in the ministry of missions around the world.<\/p>\n

FGM<\/a>\u00a0is a local church ministry and does not desire to compete with the work being done and the services being rendered by local churches.\u00a0 The leadership of FGM<\/a>\u00a0believes that missions is a ministry that belongs to the local church and should follow the pattern of Acts 13:1-4.\u00a0 However, FGM<\/a>\u00a0also recognizes that in the 21st<\/sup> century cross-cultural and international ministry can be complicated and confusing.<\/p>\n

Therefore,<\/strong><\/p>\n

FGM<\/a>\u00a0functions to assist local churches in accomplishing the global missions ministries that they believe God is leading them to accomplish through their missionaries. We are currently accepting missionaries in good standing\u00a0via direct transfer from EBM.<\/p>\n

FGM<\/a>\u00a0assists churches by \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
