Our mission was given to us by the Lord Jesus just before he ascended to heaven. We are to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:16-20).

Jesus spelled out the strategy for this mission in telling us that, as Spirit-filled believers, we should bear witness in “Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost part of the earth”; (Acts 1:8).

The specific application of this strategy for us at First Baptist is that we are making disciples in:

• Oxford; Our Jerusalem
• Mississippi; Our Judea
• North America; Our Samaria
• and the world; uttermost parts of the earth
