Missions: Sharing God’s Love in the World
By combining partnerships and hands-on service, Second-Ponce seeks to “take the whole gospel to the whole person,” as demonstrated by Jesus during his ministry on earth. We describe our mission work as being engaged in local (Atlanta and state of Georgia missions efforts) and global (mission fields in other states, countries and continents). Our intentional relationships in these two areas offer connections through partnerships, service and prayer.
Our Missions Approach
-
Partnerships
We are intentional to identify and partner with those serving God's people by caring for their physical, mental, spiritual health.
-
Service
We host and participate in a variety of mission service opportunities including weekly flower delivery to shut-ins, food collection for local pantries, after-school program support for kids in Miami, Florida and so much more.
-
Prayer
We know not everyone can financially contribute to or physically go to mission service outings. Second-Ponce maintains an active prayer support system for missions as a way for everyone to feel actively involved in serving God's people.
We are an Encourager Church
A congregation becomes an Encourager Church when it formalizes its relationship with specific Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel. Second-Ponce supports Janée Angel who serves the rapidly growing Arabic-speaking refugee community in Belgium. After working in an Arabic/French church in Brussels for 6 years, Janée and her family moved to Antwerp in a church planting effort to establish the first evangelical Arabic church outside the Brussels area. Today, the church holds weekly services and Bible studies, has a music ministry and children’s program, and Janée hosts women’s events and a prayer group. Janée and her husband, Hary, seek to meet the needs of the rapidly growing refugee community. They are also the proud parents of two daughters, Phoebe and Maria Grace.
