Romans 10:14-15 “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!“

Mission  Opportunities

Broadman sets aside funding for missions directly out of the budget. Our mission allocation is provided ACTS 1:8. Therefore, we have local mission/outreach allocations and then go global. Broadman has local outreach/missions allocations for literature, public relations, community events like the 4th of July Parade, The Community Expo Center, Chamber of Commerce luncheons, Vacation Bible School and more.

See  CALENDAR — 27th: Broadman has a fine opportunity to serve a meal and dessert at the Haven of Rest in downtown Akron, Ohio. The Haven of Rest Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational, Christian social service organization whose purpose is to serve and glorify God through a Christ-centered outreach of love and compassion that responds to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of disadvantaged men, women and children without regard to their race, color, creed or social standing.  Twelve volunteers, ages 15 and up, are needed to serve a meal and volunteers are needed to bake 400 cookies. Volunteers will leave from the church at 5:30 p.m. and travel in a group to the mission. Please sign up at the kiosk if you are interested in serving a meal or donating cookies.

– Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Each year, we of Broadman honor the life and work of Annie Walker Armstrong (1850-1938) by giving to the annual Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American missions. As a tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and supporter of mission efforts throughout the world, Annie rallied churches to give more, pray more, and do more for reaching people for Christ.

– World Hunger relief and start of Operation Christmas Child

– Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child was begun by Dave and Gill Cooke of Wrexham, Wales in 1990 to send gifts and supplies (in shoe boxes) to children in Romanian orphanages.  The program was adopted by Samaritan’s Purse in 1993, when 28,000 shoe boxes were delivered to children in war-torn Bosnia.  Since the, the project has collected and distributed more than 69 million shoe box gifts and hand-delivered them to needy children in more than 130 countries. Please fill a shoebox-size plastic container with useful items. Thus a child will be able to use the container for storage purposes. Samaritan’s Purse is a non-denominational evangelical Christian organization engaged in crisis relief and community development while showing people God’s love. Founded in 1970 and active around the world, Samaritan’s Purse offers aid to the victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine in response to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The organization is based in Boone, North Carolina, USA, and is headed by Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham.
