International Outreach …
empowering the church to evangelize the nations
As Southeast has grown, so have the opportunities to connect people to Jesus and one another in our community, in the U.S., and around the world. The International Outreach Ministry currently partners with seven “Primary Strategic Initiatives” in Cuba, Poland, Central Asia, India, East Africa, West Africa, and Sweden, as well as supporting and encouraging nearly 50 church members who have answered God’s call to serve in full-time missions outside the U.S.
Opportunities for Involvement
GO! International Outreach offers dozens of short-term trips each year to introduce you to our partners and involve you in their work. Seeing a mission field with your own eyes can change your world view and help you better understand the physical and spiritual needs of people everywhere. Check our website early in the year for a trip list and online registration.
 If you’re a young person seeking God’s call to global missions, check out our Mi2 intern program: www.gomi2.org
“Go and make disciples of all nations…. “ Matthew 28:19-20 NIV
GIVE! If you tithe, you are already involved. The church invests 16.5% of contributions to ministry outside our church walls (local, U.S., and international). However, most missionaries have financial needs beyond what they receive from their supporters and more is needed for ministries to grow. In addition, economic conditions and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar are constraining their work. Pray about ways God can enable you to provide a missionary with financial support.
“….for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need…” Phil. 4:16 NIV
PRAY! Our missionaries are on the front lines of battle. They need you! Through your prayers they will be strengthened and you will become part of their mission. Together, your actions and prayers will extend the Kingdom of God. Use our annual prayer calendar as a resource and pray every day!
