About State Missions
The purpose of this department is to preach the Gospel of Christ, to establish churches throughout Mississippi and other areas. We also cooperate with other departments of the Baptist Missionary Association of Mississippi and work with local associations, other state associations and the Baptist Missionary Association of America in the preaching of the Gospel to all the world.
The Director of Missions, Bro. Larry Geraldson, along with the Missionary Committee work together to promote the work and selection of missions and missionaries. They also work with the other departments and churches to help carry out the work of missions. Missionary Committeemen are: Bro. Dennis Knight (Chairman), Bro. Sidney Farmer (Vice Chairman), Bro. Wexford Parmer, Bro. Billy Ferrel, Bro. Ted Quinby (Clerk), Bro. Bryan Wilson, Bro. Harold Floyd, Bro. John Miller, and Bro. Johnny Watts. Funding for the Missions Department is provided through the regular contributions of the local churches and associations, individual contributions or gifts, and our annual Special Missions Emphasis during the months of April and May. This funding provides for missionary salaries, missions support, staff salaries, mission facilities, supplies, office expenses and utilities. Phone numbers, addresses and other information of all BMA of MS missionaries, departments, churches, and pastors can be acquired on this site or at our office. Also the addresses and phone numbers of the BMA of America, North American missionaries, International missionaries as well as other information can be acquired. However, we are not responsible for any contributions to the BMA of America. Such contributions should be sent directly to their office.
