At FFWBC, we believe that our mission begins right here in Poteau and Leflore County and extends throughout the entire world. In Acts 1:8, Jesus says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” In keeping with this description of the mission of God in his world, we strive to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
FFWBC strives to fulfill this mission by sharing the gospel in our everyday life. It is our desire to be church with a culture of evangelism and not a program or event. In other words evangelism is not just something we do it is who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus said “you will be my witnesses,” witnesses is what we are. Weekly our members are engaging unbelieving families, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though we seek to create a culture of evangelism among us we do host events periodically throughout the year to generate opportunities to share the gospel.
To fulfill the global mandate of Jesus’ words above we also engage in international mission work. Not only do we financially and prayerfully support missionaries on the field, but over the years our church members have served as short term missionaries in various places in the US and internationally.
