Pray. Give. Go.
Living Out the Mission God Gave Us
Over the past few weeks, our church family has been reminded of something simple and beautiful: God’s heart beats for the nations, and He invites us to join Him in what He’s doing. We ended our Missions Emphasis in November with a panel at each campus—a chance to hear firsthand how God is working around the world through the people we love.
Missionaries traveled back to share updates. Others from within our own church spoke about how God has used them in unexpected places. Their stories lifted our eyes. They helped us see that mission isn’t a program. It’s a calling. And it’s a calling for all of us.
That’s why this year’s focus—Pray. Give. Go.—matters so much. These aren’t steps in a process. They’re pathways of obedience. They’re ways ordinary people participate in the extraordinary work of God.
Pray
Mission begins with prayer because mission belongs to God. When we pray, something shifts in us. We start to see the world the way Jesus sees it. We start to long for what He longs for.
This month, we encouraged our church family to pray intentionally for our missionary partners, men and women serving in places like Togo, Poland, Mexico, England, Nepal, Taiwan, and dozens more fields around the world. These missionaries aren’t distant names. They’re part of us. When they rejoice, we rejoice. When they carry burdens, we help to lift them.
Prayer aligns our hearts with God’s heart. And it keeps us connected to the people we’re sending and supporting. If you haven’t already, take a moment to sign up for prayer updates or explore short-term opportunities. Your prayers carry real weight in the work God is doing.
Give
One of the most meaningful moments of our Missions Emphasis each year is seeing how God uses the generosity of His people to open new doors for ministry.
This year, we highlighted several needs — each one connected to real people and real gospel impact.
- Alderman Training Center, Phase 2 (Togo): Last year, you helped fund Phase 1: land and the initial training space for national pastors. This year, Phase 2 will add a security wall, storage, parking, and needed infrastructure that will strengthen the center’s mission to equip pastors who are planting gospel-centered churches across the region.
- Student Mission Trips: Our students will serve in Poland and Trinidad this summer. They’ll come alongside churches, missionaries, and families as they step into hands-on ministry. Your giving helps remove financial barriers so they can say “yes” to God’s call and grow as future leaders in global missions.
- Martinez Family Vehicle Need: Brittany and Lemuel Martinez serve faithfully in Poland, but their current vehicle no longer meets the demands of ministry or family life. We want to help provide a reliable vehicle that supports their daily work and allows them to keep investing in the people God has called them to reach.
When we give, we’re not funding projects. We’re investing in people. And God uses that generosity to carry the gospel farther than we could ever go on our own.
Go
For some, the next step is to step out—to go.
We shared opportunities for upcoming trips to China, Poland, and Togo in 2026. These teams will serve on university campuses, support local churches, encourage missionaries, and build relationships that open doors for gospel conversations in places with real spiritual need.
Not everyone is called to go long-term. But many of us can go short-term. And all of us can ask the question: Lord, where do You want me to step?
One Mission. One Church. One God Who Sends.
As we look back on these two weeks, one theme rises above the rest: God is at work. He’s at work through our missionaries. He’s at work through teams we send. And He’s at work in the hearts of people right here at home who pray, give, and go.
If you’d like to take your next step in supporting missions, you can give at tbc.org/give. And as always, let’s keep asking the Lord to use us—every one of us—to carry His love to the world.
Because this mission is bigger than any campus, any ministry, or any one of us. But together, we get to be part of it.
