Women on Mission          "Unhindered" (Hebrews 12:1-2)

"Unhindered" is our emphasis this year. The watchword is Hebrews 12:1-2. "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus..." Our Focus is to serve the Lord in our work in WMU without being hindered. We want to include more ladies in our WOM groups, start new ones and serve with our work and giving.

At First Baptist we sponsor eight women's groups that meet monthly. Each group has a different emphasis but all follow our six areas of missions focus. They are:

1. Pray for missions

2. Engage in mission action and witnessing

3. Learn about missions

4. Support missions

5. Develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle

6. Participate in the work of our church and denomination

Our groups are named for missionaries serving in America and around the world. Members pray for and keep up with them regularly.
