MIssionary Support Team
MIST exists for three major reasons:
- serving our missionaries who minister outside of the ‘local’ life of
PBC
-
bringing the needs of our missionaries to the attention of the church
- encouraging those within PBC to become more involved in mission
MIST has been very much looking at two new areas for involvement of the PBC membership; firstly the possibility of sending short-term teams from PBC to various locations, and secondly considering the possibility of developing some sort of partnership with an overseas church.

As a result of a visit from Stuart Christine where he preached one Sunday morning about his work in South America, PBC were specifically challenged to become involved with two small Baptist churches in Iquitos, Peru. MIST and the Leadership followed up the challenge, and subsequently two members of the leadership visited Iquitos in November 2007 so that they could report back to the church on the situation and the possibilities for PBC to be involved in that particular ministry.
