What Makes Global Baptist Church Planters Different?
Local Church Ministry
Global Baptist Church Planters is a true 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. |
Return on Investment
God has truly blessed America in many ways. The fact that the American dollar goes much further overseas allows us to completely support a church for pennies on the dollar. The average cost for an American missionary is $4,958 per month (based on data from mission boards); a national pastor can live on much less. You can start a church with Global for $100 per month. Supporting one or several Pioneers can be a great way to compliment your missions giving. |
Proven Track Record
Since 2004, Global has been a part of starting over 750 churches and seen over 190,000 souls saved. Our Pioneers have worked faithfully, starting churches in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, and even in the Middle East! One of the most amazing facts, however, is that over 40% of the churches Global has helped to plant have gone on to start new churches themselves. |
Structured Support Plan
Global Baptist Church Planters does not want to create a culture of dependence on American dollars. To avoid this, Global structures the Pioneers' financial support to encourage them to build a self-supporting church within 3 years. For example, a Pioneer will receive 100% of their recommended support level during the first year, 66% during the second year, and during 33% the third year. This reduction motivates Pioneers to reach people in their areas and helps them develop faithful church members. (These percentages and time frames fluctuate from country-to-country, based on the plan developed by our Partners.) |
