Mission is God’s Job Description

Mission is God’s job description:

Baptist Assembly 2023

As Baptists from across the UK gathered in Telford for the Baptist Assembly 2023, BMS World Mission brought before the crowds our new ministry themes and reimagined our participation in mission.

You might recall a couple of years ago, we tried to capture on camera in less than two minutes what mission meant to BMS. The narrative – voiced by people from across the continents – opened with the lines, “Mission, what is mission? It’s over two hundred years of matching God’s word with deed. It’s our storied Baptist history and a world still in need.”

This year at the Baptist Assembly in Telford, the theme was ‘Mission is…’, with those three fill-in-the-blank dots putting the question of ‘what is mission?’ front and centre of all the attendees’ minds as we buzzed around the halls, seminar rooms and stalls belonging to faith-based organisations of all shapes and sizes. It was exactly what was asked of Kang-San Tan, BMS’ General Director, on the main stage on Saturday.

“Mission is God’s job description, our participation is a privilege”, was Kang-San’s answer. “For BMS, it is about faith in Christ and all people having abundant life.”

Re-imagining mission

One of the highlights of the weekend took place in front of a packed main hall on the Saturday night as all those who had transferred as fully accredited ministers, pastors, preachers and mission personnel during the past year were commissioned. They were welcomed and prayed for in a deeply moving celebration service. In a break from the past, BMS mission personnel appeared beaming from the big screen rather than being there physically on stage.

General Director Kang-San Tan invites us to imagine how we can be part of elevating God's mission.

It was a powerful sign of how BMS is re-imagining mission participation by Christians and churches in the West. As Kang-San explained to the audience: “We rejoice in the call for people from all nations, to go to all nations. Today, for every one mission worker that BMS has sent from the UK, there are seven workers from around the world who have responded to God’s call in a similar way and are being supported by you; our family of UK churches.”

And on the screen behind Kang-San, the audience could see Dil Bahadur Chhetri, from Nepal serving in Nepal; fellow Nepalese mission worker and climate change specialist, Sahara Mishra, who also serves in the land of her birth; Isaiah Thembo, a Ugandan serving in his native country; and Wissam Nasrallah, from Lebanon, also serving in his homeland.

As they were blessed from the stage, Kang-San said, “They may not be with us in person, but we want to acknowledge and commission them today, to pray for them, and to ask that the Holy Spirit would fill them as they take forward the call to reach the nations with the good news of Jesus Christ.

“Mission is changing. Through this growing global mission community, we are seeing the gospel spread in ways not seen before, and in places it’s never taken root before.”

Heart, Hope, Help

Spreading the good news is core to one of the newly named ministry themes we launched from the main stage on Saturday. When you’ve been around for 231 years, as BMS has, it can sometimes be a bit complicated to explain everything we do – there’s quite a bit of ground to cover! That’s why we’ve come up some new titles for BMS’ ministry areas that sum up all the work you make possible: Heart for the Gospel, Hope for the World and Help for the Journey.

It was great to share more about our newly-named ministry areas with all of you at the BMS stand.

Heart for the Gospel looks like a project equipping ministers in the Peruvian Amazon to reach their communities, making Jesus known in rural Cambodia or growing a fledgling church in Wang Daeng, Thailand.

Our Hope for the World projects are motivated by faith, powered by compassion and deliver real changes that make life easier for the most marginalised, striving towards the same goal: bringing hope to the world.

And Help for the Journey can be summed up in work that supports Syrian children back into school in Lebanon, helps Afghan refugees find safe haven in Lesbos and welcomes migrants from every walk of life into churches in France.

Raising eyes from near to far

The weekend was brought to a close with a rousing scene as hundreds came together to worship and listen as BMS’ Director for Communications and Fundraising Ben Drabble raised our eyes from the near to the far. He said from the stage, “Sometimes it’s easy to think that just because we can’t see the bright promised future, it doesn’t exist. But that is not the case when it comes to mission.”

People worshipping at a church service
What better way to end the weekend than by coming together in worship?

Ben reminded the audience that, “Just because many of us aren’t seeing growth in our local contexts yet, does not mean that God’s Church is not growing and growing fast. I am here to tell you that throughout the world from Delhi to Dhaka, from Cambodia to Kolkata, from Thailand to Tirana, the gospel has been showing explosive growth.”

Because sometimes God’s promises are fulfilled in different ways than we expected. And sometimes God’s promises are fulfilled in different places than we expected. Just as Kang-San said: “Mission is God’s job description and our participation is a privilege.”

Baptist Assembly 2022

And yet…

Speaking signs of hope at the 2022 Baptist Assembly

As Baptists from across the UK gathered in Bournemouth for the Baptist Assembly 2022, BMS World Mission workers from near and far addressed the pain of Ukraine and the shockwaves felt far beyond.

If there was theme to BMS World Mission’s presence at this year’s Baptist Assembly, which took place in Bournemouth last weekend, it wasn’t planned. And yet one made itself known on the lips of those who took part.

Those two words – “and yet” – marked many of the conversations that began on stage during the BMS presentation on Saturday and continued in the network zone and around the interactive Geoguessr game that formed the centrepiece of the BMS stand. The theme culminated in the words of Sarah Anthony, Communications Director, during the Sunday worship as she focused our gaze on higher things:

“We wake up each morning and we witness 24/7 despair on our news screens and yet, and yet, and yet, we celebrate an unchanging God who has raised up mission workers around the world to be his hands and his feet to take his good news and his fullness of life to people everywhere.”

The wider collateral damage

Sarah spoke of the work of the Baptist churches in Ukraine and its neighbouring countries and yet, she told us, “We’re also starting to understand the wider collateral damage of this war. Those who weren’t born in Ukraine and have never been there, and yet find themselves at risk from the impact of rolling tanks and falling bombs in a whole new way.”

Sarah Anthony drew our attention to the impact of the war outside of Ukraine.

In a phrase that underlined the damage to the world caused by the conflict, Sarah reminded us that, “Russia and Ukraine between them supply a quarter of the world’s wheat.  And yet now instead of growing wheat they’re growing armies.”

Living in an interconnected world

It was at the 2021 Baptist Assembly that BMS launched a Covid relief campaign to combat vaccine inequality. For BMS General Director Kang-San Tan, the work on vaccine inequality that our supporters made possible “was a real highlight and demonstrated the reality of living in an interconnected world.”

Interviewed by Sarah on stage, Kang-San reflected that, “The experience of the challenges of Covid has given us a new connection of solidarity.” He shared that, “I lost my mum last year while I was away in Chad. I arrived there from Britain with three boosters into a country where less than one per cent of our fellow Chadian Christians are vaccinated.”

Not a place to be alone

From vaccine inequality in 2021 to the disaster of war striking in 2022. BMS’ long-standing partnership with the European Baptist Federation (EBF) provided the platform for UK Baptist churches to respond immediately when Russia invaded Ukraine. As EBF General Secretary Alan Donaldson shared during an interview with BMS Director of Strategy Steve Sanderson, “There are about 2,500 Baptist churches in Ukraine. Within one day of the war starting, 600 of them had been designated places of refuge.”

Alan continued, “We’re in the middle of the largest Baptist response ever, and that is not a place you want to be alone. BMS came alongside us straight away, [BMS Overseas Team Leader for Relief] Rachel [Conway-Doel] was seconded to us… and I think we have a bit more of her time than BMS realises!”

Hopes for the year to come

Also making guest appearances on stage during the BMS presentation were Peter Oyugi, BMS Director of Intercultural Learning and Collaboration, and Ttendo Miller, BMS Gender Justice Co-ordinator. Earlier, Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) General Secretary Lynn Green had asked the audience to consider what call God has put on their lives for this year and it was a question Sarah posed to Peter and Ttendo.

Peter answered, “My hope for this coming year is that God will enable us to see how we can come alongside our brothers and sisters in the majority world and learn from them – and what a journey and privilege it will be for BMS to play a small part in what God is doing.”

Ttendo’s response pointed in the direction of her new role, “I have been praying for the last few years since we came to the UK from Uganda that God would open a door, that he would show me how he is going to use my skills and experiences. What really excites me now in this new role as gender justice champion is that this door is opening. I strongly believe that God has called me into the justice mission to be the voice for the voiceless. This is not just a job; this is a calling.”

Moving out of comfort zones

And speaking of calling, Kwame Adzam, Overseas Team Leader for Evangelism and Discipleship, was invited to deliver a PechaKucha presentation on the subject that makes up his job. As Steve Tinning, BUGB’s Public Issues Enabler, said while introducing Kwame, “The Baptist values have this phrase in them, ‘embracing adventure, being serious about discipleship, willing to take risks and pioneer, to move out of our comfort zones and familiar ways of doing things.’ Making disciples, evangelism, these are central to what it means to be part of the Baptist family.”

A PechaKucha gives you 20 seconds to talk to 20 slides, no more no less, and as Kwame reached his crescendo, he left the audience with this final thought, “Making disciples is not rocket science… neither is it a silver bullet for solving all church challenges. It is not a programme, neither is it a method. It is a missional lifestyle. And yet, it is a joyful, intentional re-positioning and re-purposing of Christ’s church, or followers of Christ, so that they can bear fruit that abides to the glory of God.”

A BMS year in review

The difference you made in 2021

A BMS year in review

Join us for a year in review, exploring all God did amidst the challenges of 2021. Rejoice in what he’s achieved through you and your part in the BMS World Mission family.

You raised your voices

At the beginning of the year, you stood with us as we petitioned for equitable access to the Covid-19 vaccine across the world. We’re so grateful to everyone who added their names to the petition (over 3,000 of you!) for joining us with our colleagues at The People’s Vaccine Alliance and the Baptist World Alliance in raising awareness of this crucial justice issue.

Campaign for a covid-free world

You subscribed

Engage, the BMS magazine, was packed full of stories you made possible in 2021! We celebrated Engage’s fiftieth issue in 2021, and got to share stories of how you’re saving lives from a disease the world forgot in Chad, of people coming to faith in Thailand and of bringing justice to people wrongly imprisoned in Uganda. If you want to hear stories like these, make sure you subscribe to Engage!

You gave

BMS supporters have been incredibly generous this year – and your giving has made an amazing difference. Whether you helped raise over £47,000 to help feed vulnerable families in Uganda, Afghanistan or Peru, or were part of the amazing response that raised over £287,000 to help those at risk of Covid-19 in Nepal at the 2021 Baptist Assembly, you can be certain that your gifts have changed and saved lives this year. Thank you!

You prayed

While we had much cause for joy this year, we also experienced much sorrow. As the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August, you prayed for the safe evacuation of BMS mission workers, and for local people to stay safe in the country. While we’re pleased that some of our partner’s work has been able to continue, we ask that you continue to pray for this nation, and for peace and stability to be seen there.

Engage magazine cover
BMS stories you loved this year!

Love your neighbour: Lessons from Kosovo – five ways you can love your neighbour

Are you willing? – BMS workers Paul and Sarah Brown reflect on ten years in Thailand

The hospital, the miracle and the impossible secret – bringing people to faith in Chad

Food for thought – you’re helping feed school children in Nepal

They are not alone – coming to Christ in the face of persecution in India

You took a stand

You took a stand with your brothers and sisters across the world by sharing the BMS I Will Stand Harvest appeal in your churches. Thanks to your support, you helped raise over £139,000 to help provide Bibles for people who’ve never heard the gospel before, give Bible training to new believers, and support church planters as they share the Word of God.

I Will Stand

Thank you!

You’ve done all this and more in 2021 – thank you so much for being part of the BMS family this year. We can’t wait to see how God moves through all of you in 2022! Why not share this story with your church, so they can see what they’ve been part of this year?

What we loved about the Baptist Assembly

Our top five:

What we loved about the Baptist Assembly!

From General Director Kang-San Tan to our fabulous presenter Megan Chester, we asked the BMS World Mission team what their standout Baptist Assembly moment was — and how you can catch up if you missed out!

From Kang-San Tan – celebrating at the BMS session!

“My favourite moment was announcing to the Baptist family that we have transformed more than 1.3 million lives over the course of our five-year strategy. It was so great to give praise to God but also to thank our generous supporters and to say that we did it together!”

Celebrating on a livestream

If a picture says a thousand words, this one probably sums up how we’re feeling about our goal of transforming one million lives! It was so wonderful to be able to share with you everything that your prayer, support and giving has achieved over the last five years — and give you a taster of what’s to come in the next five!

We know many of you want to share this amazing news with your churches — download the video right here!

Share the video!

From Ben Drabble – the joy of sharing fellowship together

“My favourite part was being part of such a large gathering of UK Baptists, and the sense of unity in the body of Christ that came from that. I’d love to say thank to everyone who gave so generously to help our partners in Nepal and south east Asia. You raised over £190,000 for people in real need right now. We’ll be providing further updates of how your generous donations are helping those suffering from the effects of Coronavirus, so please keep your eye out for those.”

Headshot of a man with a beard

From Sarah Anthony – being inspired to seek justice

“I loved the chance to gather together, reflect on the year and be renewed afresh by Shane’s powerful words. And what a privilege to have the chance to hear his responses to our questions. I was moved by his challenge to seek out those in the ditch, in the places Jesus would have walked and I’ve been praying into that for myself.”

Keynote speaker Shane Claiborne was definitely the standout from the weekend for many of us. It was great to hear him draw from his experiences of serving in low-income neighbourhoods in Philadelphia, and he presented us with the great challenge to let injustice “interrupt” our everyday lives. You can watch the two amazing talks he gave, and his Q&A seminar session, right here.

From Mark Greenwood – a challenging seminar programme

“The ‘Walking with Jesus through a Changing Climate’ seminar really taught me so much, even though I facilitated it! Because of their vast experience, each of the speakers offered some perspectives I hadn’t considered before. It was also fantastic to have so many people joining us live, and watching afterwards.”

A webinar

Wasn’t this year’s seminar programme just fantastic?! Whether you were being challenged by how you and your church can help in the fight for climate justice, or by discussing white privilege and how we can tackle racism in our communities, it was great to be able to discuss crucial issues facing Christians today. And whether you want to deep dive into those discussions, or look back on other talks around building back better in our churches and children’s work, all the seminars are available to watch here.

From Megan Chester – singing praises!

“I loved being led in musical worship by groups from all over the world and by people of all different ages. It reminded me how wonderful it feels to praise God! The choir from University Community Church in Gulu especially brought me a lot of joy — the tunes were stuck in my head for the rest of the day and I couldn’t help but sing!”

A choir in Uganda

In a year where we’ve been cut off from many of our brothers and sisters across the world, it was such a joy to worship with the choir from University Community Church. And you can share that joy with your congregation! You can find both of the worship sessions from the Baptist Assembly right here.

What was your standout moment from this year’s Baptist Assembly? Was there anything that challenged you particularly? Join the conversation on our Facebook and Twitter pages, where you can leave a comment or drop us a message any time! And if you missed any of the sessions from this year, or just want to relive them again, all the recordings are available on the Baptist Assembly website.

From a spark to a flame: BMS at the Baptist Assembly 2019

From a spark to a flame:

BMS at the Baptist Assembly 2019

BMS World Mission’s trailblazing sessions looked to the future with clear-sighted vigour for God’s ongoing mission.

“Land for the dispossessed, Rights for the weak, Voices to plead the cause, Of those who can’t speak,” sang legendary songwriter Graham Kendrick, along with the crowds in attendance at the BMS sessions during the Baptist Assembly in Telford. Kendrick’s classic worship anthem, equal parts prayer and song, brought a timely and important message, sung during a moment of reflection after footage from the South Sudan refugee crisis had been beamed onto huge on-stage screens. BMS launched South Sudan’s Conflict Survivors at the Assembly – a video fundraising appeal for 2019. As a kind of audiovisual invitation, the video appeal asks BMS supporters to step into refugee camps and stand with survivors of a brutal civil war which has torn apart the world’s newest and most fragile of states.

A crowd of people worshipping.
Kendrick’s songs set a tone of joy and Christ-centered unity at this year’s Baptist Assembly.

BMS speakers Steve Sanderson and Rachel Conway-Doel shared with those gathered the precarious and largely ignored situation in South Sudan, in conversation with Gareth Wilde of BMS partner organisation Hope Health Action. Kendrick called the crowds to prayer for the dispossessed of the South Sudan crisis and the world, but most of all, for God to move hearts. “Come, change our love from a spark to a flame,” was a prayer many saw answered at this year’s Baptist Assembly.

The sense of unity as voices joined in song set the theme for a day where the desire to see God’s kingdom come joins Baptists from churches, colleges and the Baptist Union of Great Britain in common cause. And it wasn’t long before those presenting from the front gladly stepped aside to invite other vital voices to take centre-stage.

The ‘BMS Café’ and later ‘Tell us what you think’ sessions were a chance for BMS to hear from our most valued contributors: our supporters. You fed back on issues from BMS’ past to our future: and in your collective opinion, it looks bright. Every answer will be carefully evaluated as BMS creates its new strategy for 2020 and beyond. Thank you so much for your contributions: you are the firm foundation on which BMS can build and grow.

A panel of people sit on a stage in front of large screens.
Interactive touchpads were handed out at the ‘Tell us what you think’ sessions, for live feedback from BMS supporters and a panel discussion on the key issues facing BMS.
A man and a woman stand and smile at another woman.
BMS representatives Jo and Kwame also valued conversations with many visitors to the BMS stand.

Combining humour, deft wordplay and irresistible silliness, kings of comedy Harry and Chris also took suggestions from the audience during their entertaining session. The resulting words (BMS, Brexit and cake among them) were instantly combined into a whip-smart song performed live. The performance was a way for BMS to show its supporters some love by booking this highly sought-after duo for an exclusive appearance. Harry and Chris’ stunt came straight after our ‘Tell us what you think’ session, where BMS responded live to views from the floor. So as well as being a huge dose of fun, their trick mirrored BMS’ supporter-focused, adaptable outlook.

Two men stand in front of microphones with a guitar.
Harry and Chris use humour to subtly weave Christian thinking into songs as eclectic and hilarious as an anthem on Brexit and a song about pandas.

But the Assembly wasn’t all about BMS. The two-day format was a hit with delegates, and with the space for networking and amazing programme of content also on offer from Baptists Together, the Assembly in Telford was a chance for the Baptist family to meet, worship and dream together. And to be inspired.

And inspiration came especially in the form of Abigail Francis. This 15-year-old gives Greta Thunberg a run for her money – being as eloquent, incisive and clever – and a whole year younger to boot. She delighted crowds with her five-minute tour-de-force on the Bible’s relevance for her generation. Looking towards BMS’ future, Abigail was perhaps the stand-out image lingering in the minds of many as they returned home after a jam-packed weekend. A young Indian girl in a bright red top, brimming with optimism, eyes shining as she spoke about God’s Word. BMS supporters agreed that our future looked bright. With members of the Global Church like Abigail rising up as our next generation of leaders, it’s easy to agree that it does.

Abigail Francis spoke on the theme of God’s word describing life as we know it, making it both irrefutable and searingly relevant.
