“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”” Matthew 28:19-20 ARVBA Missions is way more than VBS props, Inflatables and Recreation Trailers! Throughout the year our member churches partner together to share Christ’s great gospel all over the world. Sometimes a couple of churches will share a missions adventure and sometimes the whole group of churches will come together to ‘mission’ a whole region like we do on ARVBA Day. On this page we will post information about upcoming Mission Ministries that directly involve the ARVBA as well as any and all Missions endeavors and partnerships shared by our member churches. There will be a lot of stuff here so to keep the page from being 40 miles long, we will many times link to a pdf file which not only can be viewed from your computer but can also be downloaded and printed should you wish to share the information with your church or just have a hard copy to keep with you. Check back often as info will be added as it comes in! Annual ARVBA Kansas City Mission Trip In March of 2015, 6 representatives from the ARVBA were invited to participate in one of NAMB’s Send Cities Vision Tours. After a whirlwind two day adventure, our own vision began to take form and a three to five year partnership with the Kansas City Church Planters began. In August of 2017, the Arkansas River Valley Baptist Association sponsored a 5-day, 4 event mission adventure involving all of our Recreation Ministry resources. 8 members from 3 ARVBA churches spearheaded the week-long event and were pleasantly surprised when a group from Hoxie Baptist Church paused on their way to Nebraska to lend a hand. TIn 2019 we added church painting and grounds work to the standard block-party events and 29 ARVBA’ers from 7 churches poured themselves into the population of this great city. We engaged 4 different population groups that included an appartment complex, inner-city Hispanic congregation, Bhutaneese/Napali congregation, and, of all things, a Cowboy Church! More opportunities are sure to present themselves and will only be limited by the number of ‘missionaries’ who go with us. We have a dedicated kitchen staff for our morning and evening meals and have all the hot-dogs and popcorn we can eat while working the events. This missions event is open to all ARVBA churches, their members, and any guests they might invite. The cost is only $65.00 per person and the destination is only 6-7 hours away!
