Acts 1:8 Program           

Did you ever ask yourself "What on earth is God doing?"

Tennessee Baptist Churches have an opportunity to be involved in missions on a global scale! By taking the Acts 1:8 Challenge and registering your church, the Tennessee Baptist Convention and your local association office, along with the International Mission Board, and the North American Mission Board, can better assist in designing and implementing a comprehensive missions strategy that's just for you!

Does your church want to be an Acts 1:8 church?

Frequently asked questions

Adopt a People Group

 

Your church can have a key role in bringing an unreached people group to Christ. Adopting a people group helps churches take an active and direct role in missions.

7 steps to adopt a people group
1. Pray for God’s guidance
2. Discover your church’s natural affinity (DNA)
3. Determine the church’s expectations for adoption
4. Work with church leaders and identify a mission “champion”
5. Investigate opportunities
6. When God directs you to a specific unreached people group, pray and celebrate God’s direction.
7. Communicate, follow through and keep your commitments
