South Missouri Missions Offering supports more than two dozen<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>ministries in Missouri.

Following are two short stories about how the gifts of Missouri Baptists support missions projects throughout the Show Me State.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The nations in Missouri: Engaging 50 ethnic congregations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Omar Segovia speaks several languages and travels extensively across Missouri in an effort to start new churches among diverse people groups that have come to live in our state. This is part of an ambitious effort by Segovia and the MBC Multiplying Churches group to help churches identify unreached people groups in Missouri and plant new churches among them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Currently, the MBC engages about 50 ethnic congregations from 15 different people groups. As one example, Burmese pastors in Columbia are partnering with the MBC and Pastor Ah Lay Yang (Yang Saya Shar) at CrossPointe Gospel Baptist Church to encourage believers from Myanmar (formerly Burma) to carry out mission work together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Pray for:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Omar Segovia and the MBC Multiplying Churches group<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Pastor Yang and fellow Burmese believers in Columbia<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cCouldn\u2019t go on without Jesus\u201d: Sharing the gospel at YEC<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Ricky was one of 300 students attending the Youth Evangelism Conference (YEC) in January at Freshwater Church in Jefferson City. The annual two-day event encourages students to understand the gospel and share their faith. And it changed Ricky\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Ricky sent a text message to Bruce Turner, director of student ministries at First Baptist Church in Jackson, explaining that he had invited Jesus into his heart. He told Bruce that a sense of urgency filled him, and he couldn\u2019t go on without Jesus in his life another day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Pray for:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Students like Ricky, who hear the gospel at YEC<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 The MBC\u2019s Making Disciples group, which organizes YEC each year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rheubin L.
