Glocal Missions and EvangelismGlocal Missions and Evangelism

We who are united by a shared sense of Mission face a renewed and fresh challenge as our world moves headlong into the 21st century.

The Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team envisions all Virginia Baptists being on mission to fulfill God's call in their lives. Our purpose is to mobilize, train, and equip individuals and churches, in cooperation with other ministry partners, to carry the witness and ministry of Christ to Virginia and to the ends of the earth.

“Glocal” is not a misspelling. It is a hybrid word, made up of global and local. Missions is something we do near and far.

The Mobile Mission Connection is a co-missioning ministry of the
Virginia Baptist Mission Board and its partners
and is coordinated by the Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team.

The MMC seeks to help Virginia Baptists to become involved in missions service by considering the amount of time they have available for service and the gifts, talents, and interests they wish to offer.

Responders are individuals or groups of individuals with specialized skills, abilities, knowledge or experience or with other particular resources such as commitment to prayer, financial giving, or simply an able body and willing heart who stand “on call” to offer themselves when Virginia Baptists’ mission ministries have need of their gifts and talents.
