Missions
A Reaching Out Ministry
Missions is a very important aspect of the Reaching Out Ministry. Whether it’s missions in our local area, city, state, nation, or international… they are all important in the Kingdom of God.
Mission trips are currently being planned for Chicago, Russia, Pakistan and Indonesia. Year and dates are “to be determined” because of COVID issues at some locations. The vision is that at least one team to each location would happen in 2022 or 2023. If you are interested in learning more about these potential trips, please contact us on the form below and someone from the Reaching out Pillar will contact you and keep you informed.
Pakistan Ministry
In 2021, Lake Ridge Baptist Church, in partnership with Christian Freedom International, adopted a new Pakistan Ministry. This is a mission field desperately in need of God’s truth! LRBC provides financial and prayer support for an indigenous brother/sister team who are ministering to impoverished, persecuted Christians. They are providing Bible studies, basic education for children, training of widows and other women in life-enriching skills (beauty, computers, and sewing), distributing audio Bibles, and constructing basic washrooms.
Pray4Pakistan! occurs on the 3rd Saturday of each month via Zoom online, where we pray in English and Urdu for the brother/sister team in Pakistan. Join us!
Indonesia Ministry
In 2003, an LRBC member attended a vision conference in Indonesia to learn of mission opportunities. LRBC sent short-term mission teams to the Malukus in 2004, to Aceh in 2005, to Bali and Kalimantan in 2008 and to Java multiple times starting in 2006. LRBC formed a relationship with IMB Missionaries to partner in serving the Pesir Lor People Group on the Island of Java. That partnership still exists today.
Chicago Ministry
In 2021, Lake Ridge Baptist Church began to develop a relationship with a group in Chicago and started to work on plans to build a mission to Chicago in 2022. More information will be presented as it is available.
Impact! Youth Ministry
During the summer (typically in July) the Refuge Student Ministry takes a short mission trip on an Impact! trip where students engage in construction mission projects that focus in a single neighborhood, in partnership with local nonprofits and police. The week culminates with a block party in the neighborhood where they serve. Housing is provided in a church for the week. The trip is open to our students grades 5-12, but chaperones are also required.
2022 Impact Trip: July 17-23
