Mission Possible

MISSION POSSIBLE

Missions is an integral part of New Horizon Church.

Why missions? The Lord commanded us to do so in the Great Commission:

¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matt 28:19-20

One of the ways New Horizon Church fulfills the great commission is by supporting missionaries around the world through the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program.

Since 1925, Southern Baptist's have been partnering together to touch the world through Cooperative Program (CP) Missions. CP Missions unites all Southern Baptists together into a missions team fulfilling the Great Commission.

The mission and evangelistic efforts of the Baptist Convention of New York (BCNY) are supported by CP Missions.

CP Missions undergirds the work of almost 5,000 international missionaries in 153 countries through the International Missions Board (IMB).

Through CP Missions support, the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and it's partners supported 5,081 missions personnel who assisted in the starting of 1,681 new congregations in 2000.

In 2000, 865,958 people were baptized worldwide because of the support through CP Missions.

The Cooperative Program also helps fund the six Southern Baptist Seminaries, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the Annuity Board, Southern Baptist Foundation, and the Baptist World Alliance.

The Cooperative Program is the most expansive, efficient, and effective means of missions support!

CP Missions, simply defined, is caring people partnering together to touch the world. "Two are better than one because thay have good reward for their labor" (Eccl. 4:9).

NEW HORIZON ON MISSIONS

New Horizon realized one of its milestones in May 2002, by sending out its first missionary. The church sent John Flynn to Minsk, Belarus (part of the former Soviet Union) to teach young Belarusian Pastors and other church leaders the Biblical doctrines of Sin, Salvation, The Church and Eschatology.

New Horizon firmly believes that healthy churches reproduce. Towards that end, New Horizon sets aside 10% of all local receipts for the next church plant.

New Horizon Church also supports our local association, the Hudson Baptist Association and Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.
