“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.
