First Baptist Church of El Segundo-Children/Youth

Rev. Henry Walton, Minister of Missions and Discipleship, Emeritus

We believe in missions. Our emphasis in missions is on unreached people groups. We believe every people group is unreached until it has the opportunity to:
Hear the Gospel message in its own language.
Worship God with other believers in its own language.

We support missions. Almost one third of all the financial support given to this church is spent on missions outside our own church and country.
We help support American missionaries working:

in the U.S. with Wycliffe Bible Translators who go to most countries of the world.
with Native American people groups in Nevada and Utah
with workers at thoroughbred racetracks through the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America
in distributing bibles through the Gideons
in the Republic of Kazahkstan (old Soviet Union) as educators and trainers of indigenous pastors.
in Ghana, translating the scriptures for the Bowriri people.

We help support international missionaries in:

Croatia by Czech nationals.
Chiapas, Mexico by Mexican and Guatamalan nationals.
The Philippines by Filipino nationals reaching their own people groups.
We know that changing times require changing strategies. Our problem is choosing the right new strategies without being insensitive to older strategies which have served well enough to bring the present level of believers to the highest percentage of the world population it has ever reached.

All of our strategies, prayers, and financial support have as their goals the fulfillment of that great day in Revelation 7: 9 and 10:
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." (NIV)
