2026 Spring Missions Offering

Going Where the Gospel Is Least Known

We invite every NAB church to take part in Spring Missions Sunday, March 29, 2026. You can do this simply by setting a aside a few minutes in your service to pray intentionally for the nations, tell stories of God at work through the international missionaries your congregation supports, and giving generously to the Global Missions Fund.

From the beginning, God has called his people to bear witness beyond what is familiar—to go where the good news of Jesus Christ has not yet been fully heard. This calling has shaped the North American Baptist Conference since its earliest days, and it continues to guide us today.

We see this in stories across the NAB, especially through the efforts of NAB international missionaries such as Claire and Tim Marker. In their work in the Philippines, the Markers and the students they teach at the Bicol Center for Christian Leadership have befriended Indian medial students, which has led to a regular Prayer Time, what the Hindu students call the small worship service going through the story of Jesus. One student, ‘V,’ said, “Finally, I will understand what the Bible says in English!”

The apostle Paul wrote, “It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known” (Romans 15:20 NIV). These words remind us that the mission of the church is not only to strengthen what already exists, but also to respond faithfully as God leads us toward places and peoples where Christ is still largely unknown. Would you support the NAB Global Missions Fund to help sustain the work God is already doing and prepare the way for the Gospel to be proclaimed where it is least known?

As a conference of churches, we sense God inviting us to take careful and faithful steps toward the least‑reached places in our world—the large populations with little to no Gospel access—while continuing to sustain and care for the NAB missionaries already serving around the globe.

For decades, the NAB team in Brazil has been partnering with local seminaries to train pastors and lay leaders. Through our current seminary partner, the team connected with Tânia, a student who leads a ministry to migrant women, providing spiritual formation, emotional support, and practical assistance. One Venezuelan immigrant Tânia’s worked with, Elizabeth, has grown deeply in her faith and begun working with other immigrant women; Elizabeth will soon be trained at the seminary as she prepares to help lead the new church plant emerging from Tânia’s ministry.

On another NAB field, Miriam Modi, an NAB global missionary partner, tells of Florian, an 18-year-old who grew up in the youth group led by Paul and Tanya Gericke, who recently left the field. Over the past summer, when Florian was given a chance to lead at Camp Falcon Rock, he grew not only in maturity but also faith. Since he committed his life to Christ in the fall, “his zeal for the Lord has not diminished,” said Miriam. “We are excited to see him grow into a faithful servant of the Lord and a man of God.

Today, even as God continues to work powerfully through the faithfulness of NAB missionaries and partners, there remain large portions of the world with little or no access to the Gospel. The kind of mission work to build this access does not happen quickly, and it cannot happen alone. It requires patient discernment, deep dependence on prayer, and long‑term commitment through the local church. That is why the Global Missions Fund remains essential. While individual missionaries are supported through partnering churches and personal networks, the Global Missions Fund provides the shared foundation that allows NAB International Missions to send, support, and care for workers with wisdom and faithfulness for the long haul.

Join churches, groups, families, and individuals across the NAB as together we celebrate Spring Missions Sunday, March 29, 2026. We invite you to set a aside a few minutes in your service to pray intentionally for the nations, tell stories of God at work through the international missionaries your congregation supports, and giving generously to the Global Missions Fund.
