Question
What is the history of the Missionary Baptist Church (when, how,what,where and why)?

Answer
Hi Angela,

There are many stories and answers to this question,.

From what I know the first Missionary baptist Church was founded by a group of believers together in fellowship in 1945. They had their first worship on Jan 16th 1946. This was in China town Seattle. The first minister was Norman Mitchell.

This church was formed so as to take goodwill and the gospel to the world. This being something us Baptists continue to do now.

I have no doubt that there are other claims of being the first Missionary Baptist Church, but no matter what we are all one church together and our calling is to take the Word to the rest of the world.

God Bless

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
