What does it take to reach the world with the message of  new life in Christ?  Pray, Send, Give, Go

We want believers to be passionate about fulfilling the Great Commission.

Pray:  meeting regularly to pray specifically for Christian workers around the world.

Send:  sending individuals from our church family to serve around the world.

Give:  financially supporting global ministries around the world.

Go:  encouraging individuals from Bayside to regularly participate in short term missions trips throughout the world.

Costa Rica short term missions trip July, 2006

Missionaries are supported one of two ways at Bayside:  personal giving and the Great Commission Fund of the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Individuals within Bayside are free to support any ministry or missionary that God lays upon their heart.  From time to time the elders bring before the church family ministries or missionaries for reports and updates.  As they share, our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would speak to individuals and allow them to decide if God would want them to support these ministries.

The Great Commission Fund (GCF) is the main source of financial support for missionaries sent out through the Christian and Missionary Alliance, one of the oldest and strongest missions organization in the world.  Each year the elders encourage the church family to prayerfully consider making a "faith promise" commitment of financial support to the GCF for that year.  If you would like more information about the GCF or missionaries with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA), visit www.cmalliance.org.
