Alabama has an excellent strategy to reach internationals through evangelistic ministries, church starting and church growth.

4/3/15 / *Title of MSC ministry position:
International Church Planting Coordinator
*Summary Description of Position: (This will be posted on the website if the position is open)
Ministry activities: Serve with the Mobile Baptist Association International Ministries Director to coordinate the church planting for each of the 66 language/culture groups in Mobile Country. Enlist MBA churches to cosponsor relevant and effective language congregations. Work with MSC coordinator for International Language School and MSC Coordinator for Seafarer Ministry
Basic goals and expectations: Work with MBA churches to begin congregations/units in the heart language of all 66 language culture groups in Mobile Country. Our goal is for every one of our 116 churches to be invovled in starting churches. Another goal is to increase fellowship and training opportunities between language church leaders and provide cross-cultural communication training to MBA church leaders. We need to help MBA language churches to be involved in the life and polity of the MBA and the SBC.
Information about the ministry: Visit imc.mobilebaptists.org to see the exciting opportunities to pray for and share Jesus with every person in Mobile County. Half the population of Mobile County is lost. We have 116 MBA churches and about 250 other evangelical churches. If all of them had an attendance (not just membership) of 1100 people we would be a churched county. The opportunity and potential is exciting to make an eternal difference in Mobile County.
