Taupo Baptist Church Missions Team
Missions
Regular Mission Updates are In the weekly newsletter.
Members of the Missions Team are: Merilyn Feickert - Chairperson, Angela & Andres Prieto - Secretary, Stephen and Karen Fox, Lorna Chinn, Dale Boddy.
We meet three or four times a year. We plan a Mission Month each year, usually in May when we take part in Tranzsend's Self Denial Appeal, and raise funds for our two Qiliba Scholarship Students from Liangshan in China.
We recognise Overseas Mission as an integral part of the local Church. Our commitment is drawn from:
Mark 16:15 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation"
Matt 25:37-40 "Whatever you did for one of these you did it for me"
Overseas Mission is a practical outworking of God's love and compassion which then provides a platform to declare Christ's message of reconciliation to a sin-sick world.
If you are interested in Overseas Mission then make sure you check out the noticeboard at the back of the Church auditorium. This has regular newsletters from supported missionaries, as well as other information from different mission agencies.

East Timor
We work with a community development based ministry called 'Kids Ark' spearheaded by two Brazilian ladies - Branca and Soraya.
Branca and Soraya work in three small villages, half hour from the capital city Dili. Sidara village includes the hills region where there is little water, food or employment. Hera and Motakiik villages are on a main road and have better access to transport and commodities, but there is still high unemployment.
