Mission Opportunities
Romania
– Agape Baptist Church began ministering in Romania in 1995. We helped to plant a church in the village of Toufini. At that time less than 1% of the population in that area were Christians. Currently we provide financial support to 3 ministries in Romania: Estera House (crisis pregnancy center), Dr. Oana (provides medical treatment to the street children), and Pastor Viorel (church planter). We take teams to Romania as the Lord leads.
Belize – We began ministering in Belize in 2000, when our Pastor was asked to come and teach in the minister's school. Since then we’ve sent medical teams three times. Currently we provide financial support to the ongoing training at the pastor's school. We work through missionaries Wayne and Glenda Anderson.
Africa – Daniel and Angela Underwood, missionaries from Agape, are currently ministering in Africa. They plan to be there for at least two years, and it is our desire to send teams to work with the Underwood's once they are settled. Daniel and Angela produce a monthly newsletter to keep us up to date on their ministry. You can download this newsletter from our online resource page.
Other places we have sent teams: China, Peru and Thailand
