Beyond Belief 2006
Our purpose is to establish and/or strengthen the ministry of the local church with special emphasis on unreached and
disadvantaged parts of the world. Here's how--through evangelistic outreach, equipping and training, feeding the poor,
providing shelter, caring for basic medical needs, building facilities, microeconomic development, marriage enrichment,
teaching sexual purity, launching men's, women's and children's ministries...all to the glory of God.
Sudan
"What seemed impossible happened. I have never seen such a spirit of unity and togetherness among different tribal and
denominational leaders who have been war-torn for 23 years in the midst of the ongoing growth and expansion of Islam."
--James Baak, ALARM
 During one
evangelistic outreach in the marketplace, 55 people gave their lives to Christ and 40 are now enrolled in baptism classes and
discipleship.
And these are just a few of the bridges we're building. Many, many more of you locked arms with your Community Groups and
other ministry organizations to make significant strategic investments in the Kingdom. WOW!
Building Update
Last year at the State of the Church, we said we were going to build... we said that were going to build facilities... but
not here on our campus. We said that we were going to continue to build all over the world where ministry leaders are telling
us that they can't accomplish their mission without expanding or building the facilities they need.
And this year, God provided us opportunities...
- To build an educational facility for school children,
seminary classrooms for future church leaders, and a training and equipping center for the church in Lietnhom, Sudan.
- To
remodel a community center for evangelistic outreach in Russia.
- To improve a church-based school and renovate facilities
for new church plants in Comas, Peru.
- To rebuild a church in Laos that was destroyed by an earthquake in the
aftermath of the tsunami.
- To help clean up and rebuild Bay Vista Baptist Church in Biloxi, Mississippi, and many of the
houses in the community.
- To bless the congregation of Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Yorkville, Tennessee as they
rebuild from a devasting fire.
- To participate in the renovation of the women's shelter at the Nashville Rescue
Mission.
- To assist in remodeling and restoring a home for Thom and Michelle Hazelip, missionaries in East Nashville.
And we had the opportunity to begin construction on the first ever international church plant...Fellowship Bible
Church-Nigeria!
Fellowship Bible Church-Nigeria celebrated its first communion service and graduated its first Discovery class on Easter
weekend. The first service in the new building is scheduled for October 29, 2006.
"The village head and his entire village were elated, prayed and praised God for the 'light' Africa Outreach (Fellowship
Bible Church) is bringing to the entire village." --Aniefiok Udo, Pastor
