God has placed in First Baptist a tremendous heart for the nations. We have a long-standing and on-going connection to the Pantanal Region of Brazil, planting and encouraging churches through mission teams that go at least once a year.

The International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention gives absolutely incredible leadership to our praying, giving, and going to the "uttermost parts".

The Lord has granted us a unique privilege in this regard by calling out our Student Pastor, Jeff Holeman and his family, to serve as IMB missionaries to Peru beginning in October 2007 (their blog). We look forward to developing an intense missional relationship with the people of Peru. One of our former students, Lane Brown, is serving there now as an IMB Journeyman.

Moreover, the Lafayette-Marshall Association gives incredible leadership to area churches in combining our efforts to do missions all over the world.
