Lead a Crave Group

First Baptist Arlington needs to be known as a church that knows how to pray. We want to be led by the Holy Spirit in all that we do. The vision behind the prayer focus of global ministries (Crave) is to have dozens of small groups meeting periodically throughout the year to pray for our mission work. We’d love for every member of our church to be a part of a crave group. Each group can have a specific focus, such as Sierra Leone, Niger, China, etc. but we need more leaders to make this happen. Perhaps that’s you? Perhaps you’d be willing to help our church become known as a church that knows how to pray.

Lead Worship for a Crave Group

Are you a musician? Do you enjoy singing and leading worship? If that’s you then your skills could be a valuable component of a crave group. We need a pool of musicians that are willing to help various Crave groups include a component of worship when they gather to pray. Click the “next step” button below to let us know if that’s you.

Host a Crave Group

Maybe you aren’t as comfortable facilitating or leading a group but love to have people in your home. We’d love to have dozens of Crave groups meeting throughout the year in the homes of our people. If you are willing to open up your home to host a Crave group the click the “next step” button below to let us know more about it.

Serve Overseas

It’s a lofty call but one that can’t be ignored. Perhaps God is calling you to go. First Baptist Arlington is committed to being a sending church that helps equip, support and supervise it’s own Cross-Cultural Workers (missionaries). Maybe that’s you? Do you feel called to serve overseas on a long-term basis (1 year or more)? We want to know about it. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Let’s be a church that addresses that need.

Lead a Trip

In 2012 First Baptist Church Arlington tentatively scheduled up to 20 opportunities for our people to serve God through a short-term trip. From countries in West Africa to East Asia, our church is literally serving all over the world. These efforts are coordinated by a group of dedicated believers that meet monthly as the “Volunteer Missions Team.” The good news is that the Volunteer Missions Team is an open group and is always praying for more leaders to help coordinate these efforts. Here’s what is currently needed:

*Co-Leaders for Existing Efforts

Working in teams is always better than working alone. Consequently, our current leaders could always use some help. Current countries that we would love to have you prayerfully consider leading would be Sierra Leone, Niger, Central Asia, East Asia, India, and New York. Even if you can’t always go, perhaps your skills can help us coordinate these efforts.

*New Leaders for New Efforts

Perhaps God is calling you to work in an area of the world that we currently aren’t going. Did you know the VMT has a process for people to pursue that call so that we can all evaluate if it is something FBCA can endorse in the future. We would love new leaders to keep challenging us to pursue new opportunities in the world. If that’s you, we’d love to know it so we can talk about what this process would entail.

Reaching the “Nations” in Arlington

There are a number of ways you can be a blessing to the nations by merely engaging here locally. We would love to have more leaders make an impact on our community as well as the world by engaging in one of several ministries. Be a host family for an international student through By Your Side. Develop lasting friendships by teaching English at International Friends on Wednesday mornings. Or maybe you can help mobilize our efforts abroad by serving on the Home Team. Whatever it is, we encourage you to be a blessing to the nations here in Arlington.
