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).

Step Into the Story

For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth. 3 John 1:7-8 ESV

The week, March 2-9, our church will observe the Week of Prayer for North American Missions by praying for missionaries, their families, and their ministries. These missionaries need you to step into their stories through your prayers as they often face opposition, discouragement and battle loneliness.

North American missionaries take the gospel to unreached communities throughout the U.S. and Canada. They need your prayers to open hearts and help them disciple new believers.

To fuel their work, missionaries also need your gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. This year's national offering goal is $78 million.

Day 1  David & Sara Gaskins: The Real Jesus

Day 2   Leo & Miosha Robinson: Let Us Do Good

Day 3  Joshua & Brittany Brown: Gospel Deployment

Day 4  Joshua & Brittany Brown: Married to the Marines

Day 5  Christian & Laura Rowland: Connecting the Dots

Day 6  Osvaldo & Vanessa Lerma: On the Border

Day 7  Tyler & Ashley Martin: Circuit Riders

Day 8  Tyler & Ashley Martin: The Other Side
