Missions

The people of FBC Garland live in a community with many needs. Those needs present opportunities to love our neighbors but also tell the story of Jesus. If you are seeking a chance to make a difference, take a look at our ministry opportunities. For questions, please contact the Missions Office at 972-276-7194, x288 (Teresa) or x233 (Jim).

Sponsor a Ukrainian  Child For Christmas

Because of the economic needs, our teams have presented gifts to more than 4000 Ukrainian children since 2022 and the need is still there.  This outreach has impacted familes that have relocated to Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria, Finland and this year Italy.  What started as Christmas gifts and events has grown into a significant outreach for the churches that we walk along beside each year.  Families have come to the events and keep returning to hear the gospel message. Your gift of $20 purchases a gift for one child.  Thank you for your support for this ministry.  Donations to this ministry can be made year round.  When choosing where your donation goes, please choose "other" and designate to URM. Thank you for praying and for your generosity.  Please consider giving for Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief.

Lostness is the world’s greatest problem, but the gospel of Jesus changes everything.

For eight days, Southern Baptists pray together for the peoples of the world. We pray for missionaries who are physically present in each region, and the billions who have yet to hear the gospel. November 29-December 6, we observe a Week of Prayer for International Missions and the annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® emphasis. 

Read the mission emphasis stories and join your heart with others to pray for missionaries around the world who are faithfully sharing the gospel. View Prayer Guide

Ways to give:  Visit IMB.org or go to FBC Garland giving page and designate to Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.  

Thank you for your generosity!

More than a Gift  Each March we observe the Week of Prayer for North American Missions by praying for missionaries, their ministries, and their families during the Easter season. North American missionaries take the gospel to unreached communities throughout the U.S. and Canada. They depend on your prayers to open hearts and help them disciple new believers.  For missionary stories, read the Prayer Guide.   Your gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering are appreciated year round.  How to Give  Click on "Fund" and choose *Other.  Notate for NAMB or Annie Armstrong.“Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us—to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”  EPHESIANS 3:20-21, CSB
