Local Church Ministry
Global Baptist Church Planters is a local church ministry of Peachtree Road Baptist Church. Peachtree Road Baptist Church is a fundamental, independent, Baptist church led by Pastor Jay Reed. We only work through local churches led by our partnering American missionaries already on the mission field. We know that working through local churches both at home and on the foreign field will only maximize the long-term impact of this ministry.

We Help American Missionaries
Global Baptist Church Planters seeks to help American missionaries reach the countries in which they serve. We are not trying to reinvent missions. We are not in a competition to take support dollars from our American brethren. Our goal is to work with our Partners to help them, through their trained converts, establish new churches at a more rapid rate.

10,000 New Baptist Churches
Global Baptist Church Planters seeks to help found thousands of new Baptist churches around the world. Our goal is to enlist the help of 1,000 supporting churches in this great endeavor. We believe that this effective coupling of American missionaries training national pastors is an incredibly efficient way to accomplish our goal of seeing new churches started around the world.

Dr. Rick Martin Said...
Consider what Rick Martin has to say about Global Baptist Church Planters: "I do not believe that this ministry will hurt a church's ability to support and send out American missionaries. The last thing I would ever want to do is hinder American missionaries being sent out. They are vital to world evangelism. Instead, I believe this ministry will help excite your people to give more to missions as they get more closely involved with the planting of foreign churches on the foreign field. I believe they will be encouraged as they see church after church being planted."

Structured Support Plan
Global Baptist Church Planters structures the Pioneers' financial support to encourage them to build a self-supporting church in no less than 3 years.For example, during the first year a Pioneer will receive 100% of their recommended support level, 66% during the second year, 33% the third year. This reduction motivates Pioneers to reach people in their areas and help them develop faithful church members. (These percentages and time frames fluctuate from country-to-country based on the plan developed by our Partners.)
|
Financial Accountability
Global Baptist Church Planters works with our missionary Partners to ensure every dollar that is donated is spent wisely. We do not feel that it would be right to manage national pastors from the United States. Our Partners are our eyes and ears on the mission field, ensuring that their Pioneers are working diligently to build Baptist churches for our Lord Jesus Christ.
