This project examines the concept of missions' engagement. The act of missions is a transformational action that compels people to engage in addressing the needs of the community and bringing about a sense of healing to lives that are broken. This joyful endeavor in missions is a practice taught through the teachings of Jesus and is clear in the deeds He executed during His tenure of ministry. This project begins with examining the history and culture of the Second Macedonia Baptist Church found in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This writing then examines how to initiate transforming the understanding of missions, and how to compel the membership to shift from being inwardly focused and becoming focused on the community at-large. This project examines the needs of a community to develop and implement a local outreach missions' model.
The goal of this project is to compel the implementation of the principles of missions as found in the 25th Chapter of Matthew. This paper will explore developing the mindset of missions, engagement of mission's deeds within the congregation, addressing the social disparities, and other areas of need in the Logan section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This project also addresses missions' efforts during a global pandemic.
