GBC Mission Partners
We support various missionaries and agencies. Below are those we currently support either financially or prayerfully or both.
Member Missionaries
The following are members of GBC and are supported both financially and in prayer as well as having pastoral support.
The Church runs WhatsApp groups for each set of missionaries which members and friends can join. This helps to keep you up to date (faster than waiting for pray letters etc) and allow you to send messages back in support / encouragement. Those missionaries with a WhatsApp group are indicated by the WhatApp symbol. To join the group send your contact details by email to missions@greenislandbaptist.com
