We believe that we should always work to proclaim the Gospel; first in our local area, then throughout our state and our country; and finally, globally.
Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Because of this, SAYSF supports many missionaries whose vocational work is about evangelizing the lost and making disciples, with an emphasis on preaching the gospel in areas where many have not heard the truth about Jesus Christ.
Our missionary support includes people currently ministering in the following fields:
* Intervarsity Christian Fellowship in the D.C. and southern MD region
* Church Planting and evangelism in northern France with Bible Centered Ministries (BCM) International
* Church Planting in eastern India with Fellowship International Missions (FIM)
* Missionary training worldwide with Christar
* Gospel outreach in Muslim communities with Christar
* Training local pastors via free Bible Schools in Nairobi, Kenya, and Tanzania with Disciple Support Ministries
Being Salt & Light
Jesus served others, showed mercy, and fulfilled the needs of the people around Him. As a local church, here are just a few ways we share the love of Christ with our neighbors in St. Mary’s County and beyond.
We support the CareNet Pregnancy Center of Southern Maryland. In a safe and private setting, this agency helps women explore alternatives to abortion when facing an unplanned pregnancy. Several of our members are personally involved in this ministry.
Care Net's services are FREE of charge and include testing, education on pregnancy and parent-related topics, maternity and children’s clothing, abortion recovery support, referrals for medical care, community services, and adoption/foster care.
We regularly support Esrael Seyum, the regional director of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. We also participate in various IVCF special events and host their progressive dinner each year.
Each November, we partner with Samaritan’s Purse by participating in their Operation Christmas Child Project. We pack special shoe boxes filled with small gift items. Samaritan’s Purse then delivers the boxes to kids in various countries, as a way to share the love of God and present the Gospel. Our AWANA kids give their rewards to buy presents and our youth group serves at the Baltimore distribution center to prepare the boxes for shipment.
