Taking the Gospel to the World

Missions has long been a vital part of the ministry of Lebanon Valley Bible Church. We believe Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations is not simply a program of the church—it is a responsibility and privilege given to every believer.

By God’s faithful provision, LVBC has been blessed to develop a strong commitment to missions both locally and around the world. Our desire is to see the gospel proclaimed, disciples made, churches strengthened, and people from every nation come to know and worship Jesus Christ.

Today, LVBC supports more than 60 missionaries and missions ministries serving around the world.

Our Missionary Partners

The missionaries and organizations we support serve in a wide variety of ministries, including church planting, Bible translation, evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, training national believers, missions mobilization, support ministries, and humanitarian efforts that create opportunities for the gospel.

Our missionary partners fall into four primary categories:

Member Missionaries
Missionaries sent from our own LVBC church family as they follow God’s call to serve locally or around the world.

Non-Member Missionaries
Missionaries outside our congregation whose ministries and doctrinal convictions align with those of LVBC.

National Missionaries
Believers serving within their own countries and cultures to proclaim the gospel, disciple others, and strengthen local churches.

Mission Agencies
Like-minded organizations that help advance the gospel through missionary sending, training, resources, and ministry support.

Committed to Prayer

Our commitment to missionaries extends beyond financial support. We believe prayer is an essential part of participating in the work God is doing around the world.

We regularly pray for our missionary families, their ministries, the people they serve, and the spread of the gospel. James 5:16 reminds us that “the effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”

Through prayer, we have the privilege of standing alongside those serving on the front lines of gospel ministry—even when they are thousands of miles away.

A Heart for the Nations

Scripture gives us a beautiful picture of people from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue standing before the throne of God in worship (Revelation 7:9–10). Until that day, we desire to faithfully participate in Christ’s Great Commission.

Our Missions Committee, together with the leadership of our Board of Elders, helps guide and coordinate LVBC’s missions efforts and care for the missionaries we support.

But our desire goes beyond simply supporting missionaries. We pray that God would continue to raise up men and women from within our own church family who are willing to go wherever He calls them and faithfully proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pray. Give. Go.

Whether through prayer, financial support, encouragement, short-term opportunities, or a call to long-term ministry, every believer can have a part in taking the gospel to the world. Our prayer is that LVBC would continue to be a church with a heart for the nations and a passion to make Christ known—here at home and around the world.
