Our Global Missions Team and the SDBC Advocates are connected to the missionaries who are supported financially by SDBC. Each of our supported missionaries has an advocate who stays in constant contact with them, praying with and for them, and keeping the GMT and the congregation informed about their work where they are serving.
We have several missionaries who live in countries and situations that must remain “under the radar” for the safety and effectiveness of the missionaries. One such under the radar project involves our work in India. Because Christianity in India is not always safe, both physically and politically, our work there is not something we can advertise or promote, especially on the web or on social media.
Currently, we have a need for two additional advocates who will accept the role of loving and communicating regularly with one of our missionaries. The role includes corresponding with and praying for your specific missionary, keeping the rest of the advocates aware of your missionary, and joining the rest of the advocates in praying for all our supported missionaries. It may also involve hosting them in some capacity if or when they come to visit us at SDBC.
Being involved with individual missionaries will be one of the greatest blessings you will experience this side of heaven. Your support will make you part of a team that is being very missional in sharing the gospel in various places around our world. Chris and I have been involved with some missionaries in the past who still serve in the field, in the area of bible translation. They have become, even over time and distance, some of our best friends, and we pray for one other and our families.
I encourage you to ask God if you should serve Him in this way. If you sense the Holy Spirit moving you toward becoming an advocate, contact the church office at
