1 Missions Survey First Baptist Church Thayer, Missouri Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8

2 1. Have you ever participated in a mission trip? Yes No If so, what did you do? Where did the mission project take place? When did this mission project take place? 2. In Acts 1:8, Jesus commands His disciples to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. We interpret this as meaning that First Baptist Church in Thayer should be actively involved in sharing the gospel message in the City of Thayer, Missouri, in the state of Missouri, in North American, and in our world internationally. Do you agree? Yes No Why or why not?

3 According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 41.7% of the population of Oregon County claim to be Evangelical Christians which means the remaining 58.3% are most likely lost. 3. How would you be interested in participating in missions in Thayer, Missouri? (check all that apply) A. by going? B. by praying? C. by giving? 4. What are some local mission ideas you would like to see implemented? 5. Would you be interested in participating in a door to door survey of Thayer Missouri? Yes No One way this could be accomplished is by church members being responsible for their own neighborhoods so that every residence in Thayer can be contacted. 6. Would you be interested in seeing our church participate in a gas give away? Yes No This is how it could work. We would partner with a gas station and give away fuel in $20 increments for a predetermined amount of money. (For example, If we decided to give away a total of $2000 dollars we would give $20 worth of gasoline to the first 100 customers.) Also, while fueling, we would give the customers information about our church, gospel tracts, and witness to them at the pump. If yes, where should the money come from? Special offering General Fund Would you be willing to actively participating in something like this? Yes No

4 7. Would you be interested in participating in Missions around the state of Missouri? A. by going? B. by praying? C. by giving? 8. What would you like to see our church doing as far as missions in the state of Missouri? 9. Would you be interested in our church looking into partnering with a church planter somewhere in Missouri? Yes No Where? Did you know that according to the 2010 census, 25.4% of the population of Missouri claim to be Evangelical Christians which leaves the other 74.6% as most likely lost and in need of a Savior? Who will show the Show Me State how to have a relationship with God?

5 7. Would you be interested in participating in Missions in North America? A. by going? B. by praying? C. by giving? 8. What region of North America should our church focus on? (Check one) The Midwest Population: 69,014,199 SBC Congregations: 5,419 Population Per Congregation: 12,736 Number of Lost: 52 million Percentage of Population Lost: 75% The North East Population: 66,686,983 SBC Congregations: 1,824 Population Per Congregation: 36,561 Number of Lost: 51 million Percentage of Population Lost: 82% The West Population: 73,327,003 SBC Congregations: 4,615 Population Per Congregation: 15,889 Number of Lost: 62 million Percentage of Population Lost: 87% The South Population: 106,837,952 SBC Congregations: 38,734 Population Per Congregation: 2,758 Number of Lost: 67 million Percentage of Population Lost: 64% Canada Population: 33,476,688 CNBC Congregations: 291 Population Per Congregation: 115,040 Number of Lost: 30 million Percentage of Population Lost: 90% Did you know 28.9% if the United States consider themselves to be Evangelical Christians?

6 9. How would you be interested in participating in missions globally? (check all that apply) A. by going? B. by praying? C. by giving? 10. What are some global mission ideas you would like to see implemented? 11. Would you like our church to consider sending teams to partner with our missionary families in what they are doing to reach the world for Christ? Yes No For example, we could send a vision team to Argentina to see how our church could partner in the work the Frealy family is doing to reach Argentina with the gospel. The trip would probably cost around $2500 per person.

7 12. One mission project we are currently participating in is called Love Packages. This ministry collects Christian literature such as Bibles, used Sunday School material, and devotional material and ships them around the world to English speaking people who do not have access to Christian literature. Would you be interested in taking a trip to the Love Packages Headquarters in Butler Illinois? Yes No During our stay we would help prepare the donated materials for shipment overseas. There are dorm facilities to sleep in and a kitchen to prepare food in. Food and gas would be the only expenses in a trip like this. Do you think individuals who volunteer for this trip should cover the expenses or the church? Individuals Church 13. If our churches offered training for mission trips, would you like to take part in the training? Yes No Also, do you feel training prior to a mission trip should be mandatory? Yes No 14. Do you receive the newsletters from our three missionary families? Yes No If not you can find some of them on our website If you would like to sign up to have them ed to you check here. 15. What type of support do you think we as a home church should provide for our three missionary families?

8 Name (optional) Do you have any further comments, questions, or ideas you would like the missions committee to know about? If so, you may use the space below.
