soaring for souls Missions questions and answers
- Who is in control of this work? We continually pray for God's guidance for this work and we believe what God controls will grow. The elders at the Beattie Road church of Christ in Albany, Georgia congregation oversee the work.
- Where does Soaring for Souls do missions work? We are currently looking at works in the Bahamas, the Caribbean Islands, and even the USA. Later, we hope to expand the work to Central America, Cuba, Mexico, and East Africa.
- What are some of the goals for these missions? Our primary goal is evangelism through preaching and teaching, but will also include medical aid, and disaster relief.
- When is the next trip? Our first trip will be to Davis City, Iowa October 21st-24th and then we will go to the Bahamas on December 6th. Both of these campaigns will include door knocking, Bible Studies, a Gospel Meeting, etc.
- How remote will these trips be? While we may make trips and support works which are already established, we hope to follow the model Paul spoke of in Romans 15:20. It has always been the ambition of this Lord's work to preach the gospel where Christ was not known as to not build on someone else's foundation.
- Who can be a part of this work? We would like to work with members of the church of Christ who have a desire to do mission work.
- What if I am not a member of the church of Christ? We would love to speak with you regardless.
- Is this work for me? A good way of knowing if you will do well on the mission field is to honestly ask yourself, "How concerned am I about the lost around me?" If you are not willing to help those close by learn of God's saving power then very likely being in a foreign country will not motivate you either.
- Will mission work help me? Yes! In fact, going on a mission trip has always set a fire in people for doing more work for the Lord locally.
- How can I help? Our greatest needs are monthly financial support, a certified flight instructor, folks trained in the medical field, and of course prayerful support.
- What are some of your long term goals? We hope to offer a school for flight instruction and mission work. We see the school being complimentary to others like Bear Valley, in that it will enable members of the church to receive lower cost, but specialized training for those serious about being missionary pilots.
